A fascinating illustrated talk on the breaking of the Enigma ciphers, with a hands-on demonstration of an original, iconic Enigma machine, which dominated the events of WW2.
… and a less known innocent Barbie branded toy typewriter made in Slovenia. Along with a range of typesetting features, such as letter-spacing and underline, this children’s toy was capable of encoding and decoding secret messages, using a built-in cipher mode.
What?
One hour talk on the Enigma Machine; the fascinating history, technical explanation and human story behind one of the world’s most important hacks.
Followed by half an hour long live demonstration of Dr Baldwin’s personal Enigma Machine, where the audience can not only get up close but actually touch, photograph and play with a real, genuine Enigma Machine, and ask further questions.
Who?
Dr Mark Baldwin (aka Dr Enigma) is a world expert on the Enigma machine and professional speaker with 20 years’ experience. Together with his genuine Enigma machine, he has delivered more than 700 presentations and demonstrations, to over 60,000 people globally including some of the biggest names in tech (Facebook, PayPal, Dropbox, CNET etc).
The Computer History Museum’s own Head of Laboratory, Marko Štamcar, a veteran demonstrator and lecturer himself, will bring to life and testing the peculiar toy item from our own collection and open up a discussion of how innocent was it really, considering the time and context in which the cipher capability typewriter was marketed. The contrasting devices will make us reconsider how we approach the topic of cryptography on an everyday basis in a world where our lives are more informationally exposed than ever before.
