The Enigma@home project uses a distributed volunteer computing network to crack Nazi codes from the 1940s.

During World War II, the Germans used an encryption device called the Enigma, which Polish and English mathematicians worked tirelessly to crack.

It was Germany’s most guarded secret—until a team of mathematicians and spies shattered it. The Enigma story begins at Bletchley Park.

Techniques used to crack the code of the Enigma Machine can be used to supplement today’s modern risk management tools, Palisade’s @RISK and the DecisionTools Suite.

She reveals why respected statisticians rendered it professionally taboo for 150 years--at the same time that practitioners relied on it to solve crises involving great uncertainty and scanty ...

The Enigma code was a fiendish cipher that took Alan Turing and his fellow codebreakers a herculean effort to crack. Yet experts say it would have crumbled in the face of modern computing. While ...
