crypto-enigma: An Enigma machine simulator with display.

crypto-enigma

An Enigma machine simulator with state and encoding display.

Currently support is only provided for those machine models in most widespread general use during the war years: the I, M3, and M4.

This is adapted, as an exercise in learning Haskell, from an earlier learning project written in Mathematica. It is my first Haskell program. A Python version with substantially the same API, plus a command line interface, is also available.

Functionality: package API

Perform message encoding:

>>> enigmaEncoding (configEnigma "b-γ-V-VIII-II" "LFAP" "UX.MO.KZ.AY.EF.PL" "03.17.04.11") "KRIEG"
"GOWNW"

>>> let cfg = configEnigma "c-β-V-VI-VIII" "CDTJ" "AE.BF.CM.DQ.HU.JN.LX.PR.SZ.VW" "05.16.05.12"
>>> putStr $ showEnigmaEncoding cfg "FOLGENDES IST SOFORT BEKANNTZUGEBEN"

Functionality: command line

A command line executable, enigma (accessible if installed on the path or through stack exec -- enigma) for local Haskell installations, provides almost all the functionality of the API.

Encode messages:

$ enigma encode "B-I-III-I EMO UX.MO.AY 13.04.11" "TESTINGXTESTINGUD"
OZQKPFLPYZRPYTFVU

$ enigma encode "B-I-III-I EMO UX.MO.AY 13.04.11" "OZQKPFLPYZRPYTFVU"
TESTINGXTESTINGUD

Watch the machine as it runs for 500 steps:

$ enigma run "c-β-VIII-VII-VI QMLI UX.MO.AY 01.13.04.11" -s 500 -t -f internal -o

Limitations

Note that the correct display of some characters used to represent components (thin Naval rotors) assumes support for Unicode, while some aspects of the display of machine state depend on support for combining Unicode. This is a known limitation that will be addressed in a future release.

Compatability

Versions of this package have been part of Stackage LTS Haskell since LTS 7.24, and the current version will work with LTS since 3.2.2. For information on which GHC versions are supported by each release, see the package's Hackage Matrix.

Documentation

Full documentation — for the latest release version — is available on Hackage. Documentation for the current Stackage LTS version — generally identical to the latest release version — is avalable on Stackage.

Alternatives

For other Haskell Enigma machines see:

• enigma-hs
• crypto-classical
• enigma.lhs
• henigma

This package served as the basis for a Python version, with essentially the same API, though more active maintenance of this verson has resulted in some minor divergence.

Development status

I'm currently learning and experimenting with some Haskell language features and can't promise the development version will work. More detail about planned releases and activities can be found the list of scheduled milestones and in the list of open issues. Some recent activity includes:

• changes since the latest Hackage release version;
• the addition of a command line interface which incorporates extensive changes including refactoring of display functions; and
• breaking API changes including removal of deprecated display functions and change to handling of errors with Either.
