WWII Cryptography

World War II cryptography involved the use of complex codes and ciphers to securely transmit military information. Countries like Britain and the U.S. developed advanced techniques to encode messages, making them unreadable to enemies. The Germans used the Enigma machine, a type of cipher device, while the Allies worked tirelessly to decipher these codes, notably at Bletchley Park. Breaking these codes provided critical intelligence, contributing to key wartime victories and shortening the conflict. This era marked significant advancements in code-breaking and laid the foundation for modern cybersecurity.
