Citát dňa - Kryptoanalytici nemeckého Wehrmachtu a Typex

Šifrovací stroj Typex bol používaný Britmi počas II. svetovej vojny ako ich kryptosystém najvyššej úrovne. Podľa mnohých autorov sa nemeckí kryptoanalytici pokúšali prelomiť ho ale v zúfalosti to vzdali.

Ale je to celá pravda?

Zjavne nie. Podľa dokumentu TICOM D-83 kryptoanalytici nemeckého Wehrmachtu zo Spojovacej spravodajskej služby OKH/Inspectorate 7/VI boli oveľa úspešnejší než ich kolegovia v iných agentúrach.

V zložke D-83 sa píše: ’Samozrejme, približne od mája 1941, OKH malo k plnej dispozícii celú teóriu nutnú pre vyriešenie problému a existuje tu len malá pochybnosť, že neboli dostatočne obdarení šťastím, aby neukoristili sadu rotorov pri Dunkirku rovnako ako tri stroje a tak mohla byť prečítaná veľké množstvo rádiovej prevádzky Typex od júla 1940’.


Táto zložka sa dá nájsť v britských National Archives pod ozn. HW 40/169 ‘Interrogations of prisoners of war from the German Army Y Service’. Nanešťastie zvyšok správy ešte nebol uvoľnený.

Crypto chip / The Codestar module add-on board

Obraz
The CodeStar module was designed for encryption and decryption of information for personal computers. The board was inserted into a free computer slot and occupied one 8-bit bus slot of a PC, XT, AT class computer. The module was supplied with a floppy disk with files in the Turbo C++ language under the MS-DOS OS . The original CRY 8 customer circuit, based on reliable technology had the entire information encryption and decryption algorithm hidden. This algorithm ( Feistel -type algorithm) was developed and manufactured in Switzerland for reliability on a special order basis, together with a semi-custom integrated circuit using CMOS VLSI technology. The order was placed by the Institute of Computer Systems of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (today‘s Institute of Informatics SAV ). The module was used to encrypt and decrypt the user's information or the user's entire file with an original and constantly changing key, it served to protect the user's data from unauthor...
