The American M-209 cipher machine
- pbrowne011 2y agoThere are several other good resources on the M-209. Short cryptanalysis of M-209: http://www.jfbouch.fr/crypto/m209/cryptanalysis.html http://www.jfbouch.fr/crypto/m209/cryptanalysis.html Series on how to use the machine: https://www.nf6x.net/2013/03/practical-use-of-the-m-209-cipher-machine-chapter-1/ https://www.nf6x.net/2013/03/practical-use-of-the-m-209-ciph... Paper by James Reeds, Robert Morris and Dennis Ritchie analyzing its security from 1978: https://cryptome.org/2015/12/ReedsTheHagelinCipherBellLabs1978.pdf https://cryptome.org/2015/12/ReedsTheHagelinCipherBellLabs19... Apparently the paper by Morris and Ritchie was not supposed to be published; it was instead a technical note.
