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.
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.
