Discover
the
remarkable
story
of
the
Enigma
machine,
a
device
invented
in
1918
to
encrypt
the
most
secret
and
sensitive
communications
in
Hitler’s
Nazi
Germany,
and
the
lengths
the
Allies
would
go
to
in
an
effort
to
tap
into
its
Ultra
Secret
yield!
This
event
will
cover
the
machine's
inner
workings,
the
code-breaking
efforts
of Alan
Turing
and
his
team
at
Bletchley
Park,
the
crucial
role
of
pinch
raids
which
led
to
the
Dieppe
Raid,
the
race
to
monopolize
cryptographic
technology,
the
ties
to
modern
espionage
and encryption
technology,
the
imprint
that
the
Enigma
has
left
on
Canada,
and
what
James
Bond
has
to
do
with
it
all.
Plus,
you
will
witness
an
on-stage
demonstration
of
the
Enigma
followed
by
an
in-depth
question
and
answer
period.
