Bombe
外觀

Bombe是一種電動機械學裝置,在第二次世界大戰期間被英國密碼學家用於幫助破譯德國恩尼格瑪密碼機加密的機密信息[1]。隨後,美國海軍[2]和美國陸軍[3]也依照相同的功能規範各自製造了類似的機器,但其工程設計與Bombe不完全相同,彼此之間存在差異。
英國的Bombe源於波蘭密碼局密碼學家馬里安·雷耶夫斯基設計的設備Bomba。在此之前,雷耶夫斯基已藉助自己設計的機器及更早的設備破譯德國恩尼格瑪密碼機電文長達七年之久。英國Bombe的初始設計由艾倫·圖靈於1939年在位於布萊切利園的英國政府密碼學校完成[4],並在1940年由戈登·韋爾什曼提出一項重要的改進設計[5]。其工程設計與製造則由英國制表機公司的哈羅德·基恩完成。第一台Bombe代號為「勝利」(Victory),於1940年3月安裝[6];第二台Bombe「Agnus Dei」(亦稱「Agnes」)則結合了韋爾什曼的新設計,於1940年8月投入使用。[7]
