Do you know which complex encryption system was used by Nazi Germany during the World War II? Yes, it was the Enigma Machine and we see a genuine Enigma machine turning up on eBay every now and then. This time, up for auction at eBay is an Enigma machine, which was introduced in 1923 by the Chiffriermaschinen Aktien-Gesellschaft (Cipher Machines Stock Corporation). Germans used the same to encrypt messages during World War II. The current bid on this antique specimen is US $12,276 and the reserve has not been met. This Enigma machine is claimed to be in full working “museum condition” and includes extra lamps. The bidding will end in eight days from now.
