Enigma og kryptering under anden verdenskrig
Abstract
The following study examines cryptology while focusing on the crypto machine Enigma during the World War II. The assignment has a shortly focus on the Battle of the Atlantic and it's impact on the British Empire. The assignment also illustrates the former cryptosystems and why these systems are no longer in use.
Encryption is developing rapidly, because it's in everybody interest to keep confidential documents and sensitive information. Furthermore I will elucidate the great significance of Enigma and the impact on the war.
I will demonstrate the construction of the machine as well as the operation. The assignment additionally includes an analysis of the encryption technique RSA as well as the requirements of a modern cryptosystem. The assignment encompasses a mathematical example of the RSA-cryptosystem and mathematical proofs which arguments of the several theorems, which is used behind the RSA. I will give a look at the future and how the quantum computer potentially exposes the cryptosystems. [Læs mere…]
