Notes to accompany four Alan Turing videos 1. General The recent (mid-November 2014) release of The Imitation Game movie has caused the com- prehensive Alan Hodges biography of Turing to be reprinted in a new edition [1]. This biog- raphy was the basis of the screenplay for the movie. A more recent biography, by Jack Copeland [2], containing some new items of information, appeared in 2012. A more techni- cal work [3], also by Jack Copeland but with contributed chapters from other people, appeared in 2004. 2. The Princeton Years 1936–38. Alan Turing spent the years from 1936–38 at Princeton University studying mathematical logic with Prof. Alonzo Church. During that time Church persuaded Turing to extend the Turing Machine ideas in the 1936 paper and to write the results up as a Princeton PhD. You can now obtaing a copy of that thesis very easily [4] and this published volume contains extra chapters by Andrew Appel and Solomon Feferman, setting Turing’s work in context. (Andrew Appel is currently Chair of the Computer Science Dept. at Princeton) 3. Cryptography and Bletchley park There are many texts available on cryptography in general and Bletchley Park in particu- lar. A good introductory text for the entire subject is “The Code Book” by Simon Singh [5] 3.1. Turing’s Enigma Problem There are now a large number of books about the deciphering of Enigma codes, both in Hut 6 and Hut 8. A general overview is given by “Station X” by Michael Smith [6] while a more detailed treatment, with several useful appendices, can be found in the book by Hugh Sebag-Monteﬁore [7].

Polish Mathematicians Finding Patterns in Enigma Messages
Fall 2006 Chris Christensen MAT/CSC 483 Machine Ciphers Polyalphabetic ciphers are good ways to destroy the usefulness of frequency analysis. Implementation can be a problem, however. The key to a polyalphabetic cipher specifies the order of the ciphers that will be used during encryption. Ideally there would be as many ciphers as there are letters in the plaintext message and the ordering of the ciphers would be random – an one-time pad. More commonly, some rotation among a small number of ciphers is prescribed. But, rotating among a small number of ciphers leads to a period, which a cryptanalyst can exploit. Rotating among a “large” number of ciphers might work, but that is hard to do by hand – there is a high probability of encryption errors. Maybe, a machine. During World War II, all the Allied and Axis countries used machine ciphers. The United States had SIGABA, Britain had TypeX, Japan had “Purple,” and Germany (and Italy) had Enigma. SIGABA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGABA 1 A TypeX machine at Bletchley Park. 2 From the 1920s until the 1970s, cryptology was dominated by machine ciphers. What the machine ciphers typically did was provide a mechanical way to rotate among a large number of ciphers. The rotation was not random, but the large number of ciphers that were available could prevent depth from occurring within messages and (if the machines were used properly) among messages. We will examine Enigma, which was broken by Polish mathematicians in the 1930s and by the British during World War II. The Japanese Purple machine, which was used to transmit diplomatic messages, was broken by William Friedman’s cryptanalysts.

Idle Motion's That Is All You Need to Know Education Pack
Idle Motion’s That is All You Need to Know Education Pack Idle Motion create highly visual theatre that places human stories at the heart of their work. Integrating creative and playful stagecraft with innovative video projection and beautiful physicality, their productions are humorous, evocative and sensitive pieces of theatre which leave a lasting impression on their audiences. From small beginnings, having met at school, they have grown rapidly as a company over the last six years, producing five shows that have toured extensively both nationally and internationally to critical acclaim. Collaborative relationships are at the centre of all that they do and they are proud to be an Associate Company of the New Diorama Theatre and the Oxford Playhouse. Idle Motion are a young company with big ideas and a huge passion for creating exciting, beautiful new work. That is All You Need to Know ‘That Is All You Need To Know’ is Idle Motion’s fifth show. We initially wanted to make a show based on the life of Alan Turing after we were told about him whilst researching chaos theory for our previous show ‘The Seagull Effect’. However once we started to research the incredible work he did during the Second World War at Bletchley Park and visited the site itself we soon realised that Bletchley Park was full of astounding stories and people. What stood out for us as most remarkable was that the thousands of people who worked there kept it all a secret throughout the war and for most of their lives. This was a story we wanted to tell.

The Bombe and the Spider 246 6. Naval Enigma 257 7. Turing Leaves Enigma 262 1. Turing Joins the Government Code and Cypher School Turing’s personal battle with the Enigma machine began some months before the outbreak of the Second World War.1 At this time there was no more than a handful of people in Britain tackling the problem of Enigma. Turing worked largely in isolation, paying occasional visits to the London oYce of the Government Code and Cypher School (GC & CS) for discussions with Dillwyn Knox.2 In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, Knox had broken the type of Enigma machine used by the Italian Navy.3 However, the more complicated form of Enigma used by the German military, containing the Steckerbrett or plug-board, was not so easily defeated. On 4 September 1939, the day following Chamberlain’s announcement of war with Germany, Turing took up residence at the new headquarters of the Govern- ment Code and Cypher School, Bletchley Park.4 GC & CS was a tiny organization 1 Letters from Peter Twinn to Copeland (28 Jan. 2001, 21 Feb. 2001). Twinn himself joined the attack on Enigma in February 1939. Turing was placed on Denniston’s ‘emergency list’ (see below) in March 1939, according to ‘StaV and Establishment of G.C.C.S.’ (undated), held in the Public Record OYce: National Archives (PRO), Kew, Richmond, Surrey (document reference HW 3/82).
