To change a rotor, click on the rotor you wish to change in the large view of a selected rotor bank. To rotate the rotor, simply click and drag with the mouse on the large version of the selected rotor bank visible to the right. Instructions Brief introduction to the controls US Navy Bombe FrontĬlick on a rotor bank to select it. The bombe should start and print out any possible steckers found for a stop. Load this file ( navy.bmb into the simulator and press the start button on the front of the US Navy bombe. There is an example file to use with the US Navy bombe simulator as well. The bombe should spring into action and finally stop with the golden indicator drums at BUO, and on the side indicate letter L. Load it into the simulator and press the start button (the left of the two buttons on the front). To get an idea of what the Turing bombe looks like in action you could download this example file: us6812_1.bmb. If you want to use the previous, flash based version of the simulator, you can do so by clicking here Note: The current, HTML5 based simulator is a beta version and may have some bugs. There may of course be differences that we are unaware of.Ĭlick here to access the Turing Bombe Simulator We have tried to make the bombe simulator as historically accurate as possible. The paper is published by Linköping University Electronic Press. This paper was presented at the first international conference on historical cryptology, HistoCrypt at Uppsala University. In 2018 we wrote a paper on the US Navy bombe and the simulator. Setting up a menu on the US Navy bombe was also easier compared to the Turing bombe. Then the US Navy bombe would restart and continue the search.

Then a series of tests would be automatically performed and, if passed, relevant information printed on paper. When a stop was detected the bombe would stop and rewind to the position of the stop.

The US Navy bombes were very fast, they could complete a full four rotor run in about 20 minutes. The design team was lead by Joseph Desch of NCR and in 1942 Alan Turing visited Dayton, Ohio where the design of the US Navy bombes was done. The US Navy, with an interest to protect the convoys of the Atlantic, started development on a bombe to break the Enigma used by the German navy. This machine was called 'The Turing Bombe', and was based on an idea from Polish cryptographers. Turing and a team of mathematicians and engineers constructed an electromechanical machine that exploited some specific weaknesses in the Enigma cipher.

Updated 2019 with an added simulation of the US Navy Cryptanalytic Bombeīesides being highly influental in the creation of the modern computer and computer science, Alan Turing was also working with code breaking in great secrecy during World War II.Īlthough kept secret for many years after the war, Turing worked with breaking the German infamous Enigma cipher at Bletchley Park just outside Milton Keynes, England. Updated 2020 to a HTML5 based simulator instead of Adobe Flash.
