A different type of "Paper Enigma"!
Quoted: The Enigma machine is any of a family of related electro-mechanical rotor machines that have been used to generate ciphers for the encryption and decryption of secret messages. The Enigma was invented by German engineer Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I. It was used commercially from the early 1920s and was adopted by military and governmental services of a number of countries — most notably by Nazi Germany before and during World War II. A variety of Enigma models were produced, but the German military model, the Wehrmacht Enigma, is the version most commonly discussed.

My Paper Enigma was featured on the March 24, 2008 Bruce Schneier on Security blog!
Daily traffic to this page jumped from about 40/day to 4,000 yesterday (and I received 3 new orders for my $10 10-pack of Paper Enigmas).

I just noticed this mention on my Paper Enigma from April 2006 in Information Week!
Quoted: Cryptologists operating on a shoestring can produce Enigma-quality ciphers by downloading and printing a simple one-page PDF file. The paper version of the device "is compatible with the original 3-rotor German Enigma used during World War II," says its maker, Mike Koss, on his Web site.

U-505 Submarine was captured during WWII. This M-4 Enigma was on board. Now on display in Chicago.

Really cool paper enigma machine - rendering as real circular rotors. More elegant than my paper enigma, I think (though takes quite a bit more work to construct).

My Enigma lecture available for viewing here. Requires a special web viewer to see both slides and video. My talk really needs both to be most comprehensible. I may try to make a custom edited video that combines both to play back on Google Video.
I also want to watch some of these earlier lectures - Wozniak, Bud Tribble (Apple), Ray Ozzie, John Markoff, etc.
