Enigma cryptoMachine is a replica of Enigma, the machine used by Germans during WW2 that Alan Turing has been able to decrypt. This app has all the features of the original machine and more : share the settings of your machine easily as well as encrypted text. For a machine to be able to decrypt a message, it has to have the exact same settings as the one used to encrypt.
Kryptos Tools
This app offers a comprehensive suite of classic cryptography tools, including Vigenère and Transposition ciphers, to help users explore and potentially solve complex puzzles. It consolidates features from previous versions and provides detailed information on famous unsolved codes.
- Classic cipher implementations
- Vigenère cipher
- Transposition Matrix
- Detailed puzzle information
- Sixteen classic ciphers
- Future cipher additions

Kryptos Tools combines the best features of the previous two apps (Kryptos Tools - Vigenère and Kryptos Tools - Transposition) along with additional details, documents and photos consolidated into one great app. Kryptos Tools includes classic ciphers, like the Vigenère cipher, that was used to encrypt the first two sections of Kryptos (K1 and K2). It also includes the Transposition Matrix which provides a visual implementation of the Transposition cipher for solving Kryptos section K3. Kryptos Tools now contains sixteen (16) classic ciphers: * Affine * Atbash * Beaufort (plus Autokey variant) * Bifid * Caesar * Columnar Transposition * Four-square * Gronsfeld (plus Autokey variant) * Hill * One-Time Pad * Playfair * ROT13 (Rotate-13) * Substitution * Transposition Matrix * Trifid * Vigenère (plus Autokey variant) Additional ciphers and utilities will be added in future releases. Detailed solutions and information about these sections of the puzzle are also detailed within. Kryptos is a sculpture by the American artist Jim Sanborn located on the grounds of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Langley, Virginia. Since the dedication of Kryptos on November 3, 1990, the first three sections have been successfully decrypted. However, the fourth section remains one of the most famous unsolved codes in the world. Are you going to be the one to solve this mystery?
