I'm probably completely wrong, but the wiring of the rotors makes me vaguely think of S-Boxes in modern algorithms. Not sure if the comparison holds to scrutiny

I'm probably completely wrong, but the wiring of the rotors makes me vaguely think of S-Boxes in modern algorithms. Not sure if the comparison holds to scrutiny however.
- notfashion 7y agoEach rotor implements a permutation of its input terminals. So maybe more like a p-box, but the difference is significant (only two wires in use at a any time, and one is in "reverse") so probably just thinking of it as a permutation is better.
