Amazing how shallowly an article can cover the specifics of something like this. The best explanation they gave was "mathematical tricks."

- devindotcom 11y agoThis article pretty clearly isn't intended to be a technical manual for the Enigma process, but rather explaining the basic idea and possible uses to a mainstream audience. People reading a general-interest technology site like MIT TR aren't going to be capable of understanding the actual math and encryption techniques involved. If they were, they would likely be getting their Enigma news from the papers involved, or the project's website, or progress logs, etc.
