To set the key, we must select the proper reflector, the rotors and their order, adjust the ring setting of the rotors, insert plugs on the plugboard and set the machine in.

This is not one of many sims, available on the net, but a true reference to the Enigma machine! Well documented source code with lots of comments. A website this big uses a lot of bandwidth and needs a really powerful server to stay online day after day, for 20 years. The Enigma Key Settings To prepare the Enigma Simulator for use, we need to adjust the internal settings - the so-called key - as agreed between the sender and recipient. The simulator contains 13 Enigma variants developed over a 19 year period (1926-1945). The Public Enigma is free to download and can be used for non-commercial or educational purposes.

With this program you will finally be able to work with the most intriguing milestone in military cryptology and examine how it works and how it was operated. On this site you can download the Public Enigma Simulator which is an exact software replica of the authentic Enigma machines used on the field during World War II. The program includes a Smart Clipboard, Automatic Typing, a Helpfile containing the manual, the history of Enigma, several original messages and all technical details! There's also a picture gallery with authentic Enigma's and details of components.

The simulator is therefor fully compatible with the real Enigma and you can decode original messages and encode your own text. It allows control and observation of all components. Lots of research went into the design, working and handling, to provide a realistic and accurate simulation of all aspects of this crypto machine. The internal wiring of all rotors is identical to those used by Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine. The code is based on the technical details of the original machine. You can select between the two models, choose different rotors or 'Walzen', preset the rotor wiring positions or 'Ringstellung' and switch letters by using plugs or 'Stecker'. This program is an exact simulation of the 3-rotor Army and famous 4-rotor Naval M4, used on U-boats, of the German Enigma cipher machine, as it was used during World War II from 1939 until 1945.
