    Enigma@Home

    Enigma@Home is a wrapper between BOINC and Stefan Krah's M4 Project. 'The M4 Project is an effort to break 3 original Enigma messages with the help of distributed computing. The signals were intercepted in the North Atlantic in 1942 and are believed to be unbroken.'

    and the team http://enigma.no-ip.net:443/enigma/t....php?teamid=33

    Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented immigrant" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist".

    I'm in!

    I had an idea that the M4 project was nearly over already... didn't they already decrypt 2 of the 3 messages?

    The first two have been decrypted. The third one is still out there, and maybe they figured they would get more attention if they opened it up on boinc ...

    Oh My:... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine An Electromechanical device to completely confuse the opposition.

    Oh I joined the team but just when I am going to get some time to run this, I don't know!
