German Enigma Alternatives

This morning I came across an interesting InformationWeek article on the German Enigma Code machine from WWII. Earlier this month an original machine was sold for $30,000. But if you’re interested in the technology and don’t have the cash, this article lists several alternatives.

You can buy a Kit from the Bletchley Park Web site for about $210 U.S. A PDF Paper version for the those of you a little paranoid about spyware. Or you can use an electronic version called the Enigma Simulator v5.0.
