Archaeology of Algorithmic Artefacts, I
David Link
The procedure executed on the Polish Bomba Kryptologiczna is
reconstructed on the basis of Marian Rejewski's accounts and simulative
experiment. An original Wehrmacht message from the period in question
is broken to illustrate the effectiveness of the hardware and the routines
employed. The authenticity of the indicators given in Rejewski's first and later
reports is investigated and the circuitry of a simplified version of the bomba
presented.
