Show transcript
Encryption is the process of converting a message from plain text into cipher text. Encryption is used to protect data. During WWII, German officers used a special device called an Enigma machine to encrypt all of their communications. During World War II, Alan Turing's secret work at Bletchley Park was central to decrypting German communications.
