Lorenz cipher

The Lorenz cipher was a complex encryption system used by the British during World War II to secure high-level military communications. It employed a series of rotating drums and electronic components to generate a stream of coded signals, which, when combined with the original message, transformed it into an unpredictable pattern. Only someone with the exact same machine settings could decrypt the message back into readable text. The Lorenz cipher was more advanced than the famous Enigma, making its decryption a significant technological challenge that contributed to Allied code-breaking efforts and success.
