What was difficult?
Understanding the internal workings of the engima was quite difficult. However, it really didnt matter how the innards of the machine worked because I was able to understand how the encryption process worked overall. It kind of seemed like a Vigenere cipher that just kept going. Also, understanding the part about permutations when it came to cracking the message key was a bit hard to fully follow.
Reflections
Whenever I tell someone I am taking an encryption class they always mention the Engima machine from World War II. Before, I never really knew much about the machine except from movies and such. However, now that I have read this section I fell like I can say something back to my friends, like about how to crack the machine or how it works.
