德国密码

二战中，图灵在帮助英国政府破译德国密码时起到了至关重要的作用。

Turing was crucial in helping the UK government decode German intelligence during World War II .

但是责任和帝国并不能解开德国密码，而丘吉尔却从未期待过艾伦·图灵。

But duty and empires did not solve ciphers , and Churchill never bargained for an Alan Turing .

在这项工作中，图灵战胜了三心二意的德国密码部门，

So in doing this for the Delilah , he was finally scoring off the half-hearted efforts of German cryptography .

正如谜机一样，总会有缴获到机器设备的可能性，而且德国密码人员也会制造这种可能。

As with Enigma , there was always the possibility of an eventual hardware capture , and the German cryptographers should have allowed for that possibility .

这些问题还都有待于研究，因为德国密码机只触及了问题的皮毛。

All these questions remained to be explored , for the exigencies of the German cipher machines had barely scratched the surface of what could be done .

英法的反应毫无作用，因为德国密码分析部门能够破解他们的大量通信，

The Anglo-French response was not helped by the fact that the German cryptanalytic department , the Beobachter Dienst , was able to read a number of their messages ,

英美联合系统使用的护航队通信密码，实际上是德国密码部门早就能够破译的英国旧密码。

For one thing , the convoy routeing cipher , introduced as a joint Anglo-American system , was in fact an old British book cipher which the B. Dienst were able to recognise .

事实也许有点消极：德国密码部门没怎么认真对付它，正如1938年英国没花多少功夫对付谜机。

Perhaps the most salient fact was the negative one : that the B. Dienst made no serious effort against them , just as in 1938 no serious effort had been made against the Enigma .

尽管它的目标是德国密码机，但其指令表的灵活性，使它可以很轻松地摇身一变成为数字乘法机。

Even though a parasite on the German cipher machine , the flexibility offered by its instruction table facility was such that it could even be ' almost ' set up to perform numerical multiplication .

他们的研究迈入了一个特殊的新阶段，德国密码界的盲目和混乱，导致了这样的结局。更让这些人觉得神奇的是，他们与机器之间，常常会产生一种对话的感觉。

In their work , in this new extraordinary phase , the arbitrary dispensations of the German cryptographic system had brought something like this into being - and even more uncanny for those who did it , a sense of dialogue with the machine .

布莱切利破译了一些德国的密码，而德国人却不知道。

At Bletchley they had already deciphered some of the figures that Germans did not know , or want to know .

但德国的密码系统并不是这样的，他们的密钥是由机器生成的。

But that was not the case with these German transmissions . The key was generated by the action of a machine .

1914年，苏联人打捞到了德国的密码本，并转呈英国海军，随后，英国从大学和其它学校招募了大量人员，来破译各种各样的无线或有线的信号。

After the initial break of a captured German code book , passed to the Admiralty by Russia in 1914 , a great variety of wireless and cable signals had been deciphered by a mostly civilian staff , recruited from universities and schools .

1935年，英国在它的基础上进行了一些改造，创造了泰派克斯，而几年前德国的密码专家则用不同的路子进行了改造，虽然改造版的名字还叫谜机，但性能却比商用版高出很多。

In 1935 the British had created Typex by adding certain attachments to it , while a few years earlier the German cryptographic authorities had modified it in a different way to create the machine which , though bearing the original name of Enigma , was much more effective than the commercially available device .

但是为了防止英国变成第二个德国，编码密码学校并不是非常活跃。

But in protecting the British Empire from a revived Germany , the Code and Cypher School was less vigorous .
