Its operation is mechanically based, and it depends on an electric signal passed through various machine parts and wires. There are two types of Enigma machines, the M3 and M4 Enigma Machines (Gillogly, 1995). It is essential to select the machine to use before beginning the process of enciphering and deciphering. The M3 devices use a reflector which can be “B” or “C” and three-wheel out of possible eight selections. The M4 machine utilizes a thin reflector of “B” or “C” choice and four wheels in which the initial three wheels are similar to the M3 Enigma, and the selection of the fourth wheel is either form “gamma” or “beta” (Greek) wheels. The German navy used the M3 during World War II and is compatible with the air force and army machines. The M4 machine usage was in the navy and is not compatible with other devices.
