2.12, due november 25

i think i kind of understood this section. of course, as soon as we talk about it in class i’ll probably be totally lost. i am a little confused as to how this method works, as in exactly how the rotations and steps encrypt messages. i got a little lost when the section described the encryption process itself, but i think it will be helpful to hear the teacher explain this method. but i really do think i kind of understand this enigma stuff.

if i understood this stuff right, i think this is a really interesting idea. it was also interesting to read about the attack on the enigma. it seems like it would take a really long time to decrypt a message, but to me it seems like using this enigma method is pretty secure.
