Topic: Pinwheel (cryptography)


  
  Pinwheel (cryptography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cryptography, a pinwheel was a device for producing a short pseudorandom sequence of bits (determined by the machine's initial settings), as a component in a cipher machine.
Pinwheels might be turned through a purely mechanical action (as in the M-209) or electromechanically (as in the Lorenz SZ 40/42).
Pinwheels can be viewed as a predecessor to the electronic linear feedback shift register (LFSR), used in later cryptosystems.

Pinwheel five steps one step whenever there is an active pin on either pinwheels one, two, three or four.
Pinwheel six steps one step whenever there is an active pin on either pinwheels one, two, three, four or five.
The pinwheels are labelled around their circumference with 47 symbols, so that it is possible to read off the initial position, which must, in some way, be communicated to the recipient.

 The Lorenz Schlusselzusatz
Ten of these pinwheels formed two groups of five, and one wheel from each group inverted its corresponding plaintext bit when a pin was active on it.
The plaintext is mostly zeroes, and the slow pinwheels sometimes stop, and so, slightly more often than not, the bits will stay the same in the ciphertext when they stay the same on the fast pinwheel, and change where they change on the fast pinwheel.
In practice, rather than reconstructing the fast pinwheels at this step, perhaps because there was too much chance of errors inverting whole parts of the pinwheel, the results from the five bits of the character were combined to determine when the slow pinwheels did not move.

The wired code-wheel is a disk constructed of some non- conducting material having on each face, a series of equally spaced contact studs which are interconnected so that the current entering on one face will be switched to exit from a different position on the other face of the rotor.
That fact that cryptography is micro-computer based does not take away some of the conflicting system design aims just as decades ago.
This wired rotor machine had five rotors each of whose movement was controlled by a pinwheel of 25 pins each set to 'active' or 'inactive' position.

He adapted one of his previous inventions from three years earlier: an adding device designed for use in vending machines, and combined it with the pinwheel mechanism from an earlier cipher machine (the B-21).
Both machines had five pinwheels with 17, 19, 21, 23 and 25 pins, each individually settable, giving a maximum period of 3,900,225 for the machine.
One variant had a Thai alphabet on the pinwheels, rather than the usual Latin alphabet.

In some versions, these six are reportedly chosen from a possible set of 12, with the number of pins on each wheel being 25, 26, 29, 31, 34, 37, 38, 41, 42, 43, 46, and 47.
One report states that the difference between the C-52 and the CX-52 was the transition to this more complex stepping mechanism [4].
Other reports suggest that the difference between the C-52 and CX-52 was the mechanism changing from pinwheels to a punched tape mechanism [5].

In the history of cryptography, the Enigma was a portable cipher machine used to encrypt and decrypt secret messages.
However, a different initial rotor position was chosen for each message, because if a number of messages are sent encrypted with identical or near-identical settings, a cryptanalyst has several messages "in depth", and might be able to attack the messages using frequency analysis.
To counter this, a different starting position for the rotors was chosen for each message; a similar concept to an initialisation vector in modern cryptography.

Well #4 turns on an oscillating fan with a night light and a pinwheel attached, this creates enough random movement from within that at least one of the govs will make a move.

The fl sides were expected to absorb radiation while the reflecting sides would reflect it back; thus there would be more energy (a greater pressure) in the space in front of the reflecting side.
