Assignment 36

The enigma machine is quite an enigma to me.  I understand that it's mechanically generated, but I don't quite understand how the rotors produce different permutations of letters.  I understand that the rotors move, but I don't get how that creates different possibilities.

It is interesting to see an example of using technology in encrypt.  It's also amazing to see how much encryption has advanced, technology-wise, just in the past 70 years.
