Did you every asked yourself, how an Enigma machine with more than the 26 Latin characters could work? I did so, and created three different "new" Enigma machines: The "Morse Enigma", the "Enigma64", and the "ASCII Enigma". In this video, I explain how these work.
First, I explain the "Enigma Equations", needed to implement the Enigmas. Then, we discuss the new machines and finally, we also have a look at the C# source code.
The implementation can be found on GitHub here: https://github.com/n1k0m0/ASCIIEnigma
