Abstract

Tema je ovog rada kriptologija i kriptografija u Drugom svjetskom ratu i utjecaj kriptografskih procesa tj, šifriranja i dešifriranja na ishod rata. Posebna se pozornost usmjerava na strojeve poput Enigme, Lorenza i Purplea, njihove temeljne karakteristike i način funkcioniranja te na proces enkripcije i razbijanja strojne šifre, ali i američki enkripcijski sustav koji se temeljio na jeziku Navajo Indijanaca.

Abstract (english)

The main focus of this paper is cryptology and cryptography in World War II and the influence of cryptographic processes, ciphering and deciphering, on the outcome of the war. The central part is dedicated to the machines such as Enigma, Lorenz, Purple, to their main characteristics and to the description of their functioning and to the process of breaking its code. An American encoding system based on Navajo language is also described.
