Abstract

Tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata korištene su brojne tada već poznate metode zakrivanja i raskrivanja poruka, dok je također osmišljen velik broj novih metoda. Stoga ovaj rad prikazuje stanje kriptologije i kriptografije te njihov razvoj za vrijeme Prvog svjetskog rata. Glavna tema je stvaranje, upotreba te dešifriranje kodova koje su koristili sudionici rata kao što je ruska verzija Vigenèreove šifre ili francuski Tableau de concordance. Rad se također dotiče određenih udruga i događaja koji su utjecali na ishod rata te na daljnji razvoj same kriptologije, ovo uključuje osnivanje Američke crne komore, dešifriranje Zimmermannovog telegrama kao i prvu upotrebu jezika indijanskih plemena u kriptologiji.

Abstract (english)

During World War 1, a great number of different methods of concealing and revealing the contents of a message were used, while many new ones were also created during this time. This paper aims to show the current stage and development of cryptology and cryptography during World War 1. The main topic is the creation of, use and deciphering of codes used by the war's participants such as the Russian version of the Vigenère cypher or the French Tableau de concordance. The paper will also touch on the topics of certain organizations and events which influenced the outcome of the war as well as the further development of cryptology, this includes the establishment of the American black chamber, deciphering of the Zimmermann telegram as well as the first use of Native American tribe languages in cryptology.
