What does Enigma Cipher Processor do?
Enigma Cipher Processor: Encipher/decipher with the WW2 Enigma machine. Enigma was used by the German military, among others, around the WW2 era as a portable cipher machine to protect sensitive military, diplomatic and commercial communications. The standard set of German military rotors and reflectors are provided. To configure the plugboard, enter a string of connected pairs of letters, e.g. AB CD EF connects A to B, C to D, and E to F. This is also used to create your own reflectors. To create your own rotor, enter the letters that the rotor maps A to Z to, in order, optionally followed by < then a list of stepping points. This is deliberately fairly permissive with rotor placements etc compared to a real Enigma (on which, for example, a four-rotor Enigma uses only the thin reflectors and the beta or gamma rotor in the 4th slot). More detailed descriptions of the Enigma, Typex and Bombe operations can be found here.

Which settings does Enigma Cipher Processor provide?
Enigma Cipher Processor provides controls for Model, 3-rotor, 4-rotor, Left-most (4th) rotor, Left-most rotor ring setting, Left-most rotor initial value, Left-hand rotor, Left-hand rotor ring setting, Left-hand rotor initial value, Middle rotor, Middle rotor ring setting, Middle rotor initial value, Right-hand rotor, Right-hand rotor ring setting, Right-hand rotor initial value, Reflector, Plugboard, Strict output. These controls define how it processes the input.
