Enigma Encryption

Enigma is a symmetric substitution cypher that uses a set of keys (a set of rotors, a set of plugboard settings and a reflector) in order to encrypt or decrypt a message. The Wizardry and Steamworks implementation deviates from the standard Enigma by having the rotors step each time during encryption and decryption.

In order to encrypt the message Good day!, you would call:

string encrypted = wasENIGMA(
    "Good day!", // message to encrypt
    [ "1", "3", "2", "8", "b" ], // selection of rotors
    [ "q", "r", "x", "a", "p" ], // selection of plugboard settings for the rotors
    "c" // the reflector
)

after which the variable encrypted will contain Bbyx qgo!

Decryption is symmetric, so in order to decrypt the message Bbyx qgo!, you would call:

string decrypted = wasENIGMA(
    "Bbyx qgo!", // message to decrypt
    [ "1", "3", "2", "8", "b" ], // selection of rotors
    [ "q", "r", "x", "a", "p" ], // selection of plugboard settings for the rotors
    "c" // the reflector
)

after which the variable decrypted will contain Good day!.

This implementation features the possible rotors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, b, g and the reflectors: B, b, C, c. Any number of rotors, in any order, can be selected provided that you have the same number of plugboard settings for each rotor. Only a single reflector from the list of possible reflectors can be picked.

Although the implementation has been tested with over 1500 characters and could possibly take more, keep in mind that the Enigma was usually used to encrypt up to 100 characters. The shorter the string to encrypt, the less likely it is to be broken. Also note that llOwnerSay can only support up 1024 characters.

The Wizardry and Steamworks implementation tries to use constant memory: for each character to encrypt, the input character is replaced.

Benchmark

The following results show the time taken by the Wizardry and Steamworks implementation of the Enigma given three input rotors and varying the input from 1 to 512 characters:

        string input = "/* 512 characters (the repeated Latin alphabet) */";

            float t2 = llGetAndResetTime();
            llOwnerSay((string)(t2-t1) + " " + (string)llStringLength(input));
            input = llDeleteSubString(input, 0, 0);
        } while(llStringLength(input) != 0); 

and plotted the results:

From the plot and the data, we have observed and calculated that:

  • the progression is something between linear and logarithmic.
  • the mean difference gives us an average increase of $0.225632481s$ per character.
  • the average time taken (to encrypt, or decrypt) 1 to 512 characters is $5.510400557s$ and the standard deviation is $6.604655214s$
