  Marian Rejewski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rejewski and fellow students Henryk Zygalski and Jerzy Różycki were among the few who could keep up with the course while balancing the demands of their normal studies.
Rejewski and Zygalski were sent to Nice on 11 November, which was in a zone occupied by the Italians.

 Bomba (cryptography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Using the knowledge that the first three letters of a message were the same as the second three, Polish mathematician Marian Rejewski was able to determine the internal wirings of the Enigma machine and thus to reconstruct the logical structure of the device.
Rejewski himself, in a posthumous paper published in the Polish Wiadomości matematyczne (Mathematical News) in 1980 and appearing as appendix D to Kozaczuk's Enigma 1984, stated that the device had been named "bomb" "for lack of a better idea" (p.

Born in Bydgoszcz, Poland, Rejewski was a mathematics graduate of Poznań University who, as a student, had attended a cryptology course organized there for selected mathematics students by the Polish General Staff's Cipher Bureau.
Rejewski, however, for the first time applied techniques from pure mathematics — permutation theory — in his attack on the Enigma cipher.

Rejewski had realized that the wiring order must be different on the German Forces Enigma, but had no way of finding out what the order was.
Rejewski had shown that his characteristics could be deduced from a day's radio traffic when the Germans were double enciphering the Enigma message settings.
Rejewski quickly showed that mathematical techniques could be used to attack the problem of finding the message key by exploiting the German's cryptographic error in repeating the message key at the start of a transmission.

Marian Rejewski, (born Bydgoszcz, Poland, August 16, 1905, died February 13, 1980) was a Polish mathematician and cryptologist, famous for his ground-breaking, long-running work in decrypting German Enigma ciphers.
Rejewski's mathematical techniques, combined with material supplied by French military intelligence, enabled him to develop methods of breaking the periodic as well as individual keys used in encrypting messages on the Enigma machine.

Rejewski was certainly a cryptanalyst, but in doing cryptanalysis he was also a cryptographer since he was doing something cryptographic, ie, cryptanalysis.
It would not be unreasonable to characterize Rejewski's early 1930s conceptual breakthrough as the single most valuable contribution by an individual to the winning of WWII by the Allies.
Of course, if this is a common evaluation of Rejewski's contribution, then it might be good to include a sentence like this, perhaps as a quote from a historian; otherwise I think we'd do well to leave it out.

Rejewski was able to set up a set of equations in four unknowns, three of which were known, and solve them for the unknown rotor wiring.
Rejewski checked and re-checked his equations, and was almost ready to give up in despair when he wondered if the wiring from the keyboard to the scrambler was A to A, B to B, etc., unlike the commercial model, which was Q to A, W to B,...

Marian Rejewski (August 26 1905-February 131980) was a Polish mathematician and cryptographer.
Rejewski and many others of the staff of the Biuro were evacuated, with considerable difficulty, from Poland after the Germans attacked.
Ironically, he was not used for cryptographic work for the rest of the War and was quite surprised to learn (when information about Bletchley Park and its crytanalysts finally became public in the 1970s) of the importance of the work he had begun in the early 30's.

Rejewski repeated this for the relationships between the second and fifth, and the third and sixth letters, outlining the cycles of these permutations.
Rejewski realized that the number of links in the chains, that is the length or order of the cycles, was independent of the plugboard settings.
After identify the scrambler settings, Rejewski and his team were able to untangle the remaining parts of the cipher and read German intelligence ciphered by the Enigma, a task once thought impossible.

Rejewski devised a mathematical theorem that wartime Bletchley Park luminary, Professor I. Good, has described as "the mathematical theorem that won World War II." (Good, prefatory remarks to: Marian Rejewski...) A good deal of confusion persists regarding the sequence and relative contribution of mathematics and intelligence in Rejewski's break into the German machine cipher.

Rejewski had realised that the wiring order must be different on the German Forces Enigma, but had no way of finding out what the order was.
When they had been studying the double enciphered message settings in order to construct Rejewski's characteristics, cases had been noticed where the same enciphered letter occurred in either the 1st and 4th, or 2nd and 5th, or 3rd and 6th positions in the enciphered message settings.
Rejewski also had the idea for a mechanical method for finding the Enigma ring settings from the females in the double enciphered message settings.

The recruits included Marian Rejewski, a graduate student in mathematics, who would ultimately be responsible for their success.
Rejewski then began to examine patterns within this alphabet, finally finding one pattern that was particularly useful.
He could write the alphabet of relationships as two alphabets, one stacked on top of the other, and find chains of letters—for example, he would begin with A on the top row, look for the corresponding letter on the bottom row, then look for that letter on the top row, and so on.

On September 1, 1932, Rejewski and his two somewhat younger colleagues, Jerzy Rozycki, and Henryk Zygalski began work as regular employees at the Cipher Bureau in Warsaw.
Rejewski collected a list of the first six letters from all messages transmitted each day.
Since it was their brilliant work, turned over to the British, which allowed the Allies to read the German messages, it is hard to believe that the English never allowed them to work as codebreakers on the vital Kriegsmarine (Navy) Schl?ssel-M traffic, which was not broken until naval rotors VI and VII were captured.
