Electronic Enigma Pro

The document describes an electronic implementation of the Enigma machine called Electronic Enigma Pro. It includes a block diagram showing the key components: 3 matchers that encrypt inputs like the original Enigma rotors, counters to track the matcher positions, and AR converters that integrate the matchers. The implementation achieves one-to-many encryption by transforming each input letter into different outputs depending on matcher settings. Adding a plugboard is planned to greatly increase the possible combinations.

Implementation Details
System Overview Firstly we are taking 5-bit binary numbers as inputs,
so they can represent a maximum of 32 combinations, and
A block diagram of the system is given in Fig. 1. we would use the 26 combinations of these to represent 26
alphabets. Similar to that of the original enigma machine,
in place of three rotors, we have used 3 logical units which
we have named as “matchers”. Each of these matchers
take an input of 5 bit and convert it to another binary
combination of 5 bit. The working is such that the input
number which corresponds to an alphabet(say A) is
converted to another number corresponding to another
alphabet(say G). This adds up to the first layer of
encryption.
We have implemented a counter which increases
with each alphabet we give as input. There are 3 such
counters, for each of the matchers which works similar to
