Abstract

Abstract Truppenschlüssel (troop cipher) was a manual cipher used by the German Army during World War II. Based on more than a hundred authentic messages that survived the war, a cryptanalysis is performed. The exact encryption procedure is investigated via two plaintext-ciphertext compromises. A specific ciphertext-only breaking tool is developed, utilizing the hill climbing technique. This leads to successful breaks of most of the messages.

Truppenschlüssel的现代密码分析

摘要Truppenschlüssel（部队密码）是第二次世界大战期间德国军队使用的一种手动密码。基于一百多条在战争中幸存下来的真实信息，进行了密码分析。通过两个明文-密文折衷来研究精确的加密过程。利用爬山技术开发了一种专门的纯密文破解工具。这导致了大多数信息的成功中断。

期刊介绍： Cryptologia is the only scholarly journal in the world dealing with the history, the technology, and the effect of the most important form of intelligence in the world today - communications intelligence. It fosters the study of all aspects of cryptology -- technical as well as historical and cultural. The journal"s articles have broken many new paths in intelligence history. They have told for the first time how a special agency prepared information from codebreaking for President Roosevelt, have described the ciphers of Lewis Carroll, revealed details of Hermann Goering"s wiretapping agency, published memoirs - written for it -- of some World War II American codebreakers, disclosed how American codebreaking affected the structure of the United Nations.
