Mark, if you could set the scene for us, what is the Enigma machine? And what could anyone, and why should anyone, sorry, in 2026 still care about a wooden box of rotors from the 1930s?

That's a great question, Sean.

Yeah, the Enigma was made fairly popular by the Nazis in the 1930s and 40s and World War II.

It pre-existed that time.

There was...

In World War I, a little frustration with communications happening so fast, and classic ciphers up to that point were manual, little rotors and things that you had to manipulate by hand.

But communications had gone much, much faster, so they needed devices that could keep up with this new thing called radio and this older thing called telephone, which was all the way back to 1875.

Could you give us some thoughts there?
