Porthcurno Telegraph Museum, Cornwall
A message from Larissa Paver, the museum’s learning manager
“The plan at the moment is to bring a replica Morse code set-up, complete with two sets of Morse keys, bulbs and slightly maddening buzzers, other telegraph related equipment (such as a working single needle telegraph and cable samples) and equipment to demonstrate the principles behind the first telegraph systems. I may well throw in some semaphore flags, dressing up clothes and circuit-building equipment.”

Today, almost everyone uses mobile phones, home wireless networks or the internet for shopping. Encryption enables all of these to be done safely and securely.
This presentation looks at the underlying principles and how they developed from alphabetic encryption, culminating in the development of the family of ENIGMA machines so famously used and exploited during WWII.
