Using the Enigma Machine!

In class, we used paper machines to encode and decode messages in a way that emulated how Enigma machines worked. This was very complicated for most of the students, as the Enigma machine uses a complex system to encrypt messages. However, this activity enabled us to understand the fundamentals of the machine. To simplify the encoding process though, I found a website that quickly and easily allows anyone to encrypt any message via the Enigma machine. Try it out for yourself!
