The Work at Bletchley Park

From Bletchley Park's work "I have never talked to anyone about my work", what happened in Bletchley Park is private and I can see that there is no intention to public to the public. "I do not know what happened elsewhere in the park." Although we are all there, we probably do not allow even larger discussions on it for the same reason You can see. People stay in their cottages and only allow discussion with "someone other than the small group you work with".

The work of Turing at Bletchley Park is important to the end of the war. In July 1945, General Dwight Eisenhower told the Secretary of the British Information Agency, "Ultra saves the lives of thousands of Britons and Americans, and that enemies will defeat in a great way and ultimately surrender I agreed to the agreement. " Still, Turing will focus on where most of his career will eventually become a modern computer. In 1943 I worked for the cryptanalysis department of the US Navy for several months, where I met Claude Shannon (father of information theory) and discussed the mathematical model of communication and computation. Until today, our communication network is built on Shannon's idea, and our computing devices, processors, and chips are built on the idea of ​​Turing. Because Turing's contribution to contemporary computing is so great, the renowned A. M. Turing award - also called "Nobel Prize" in computer science - was named after him.

When the war of 1939 was announced, Turing immediately worked full time with the government code of Brechlee Park and Cipher School. The work done at Bletchley Park will be subject to the "Official Confidentiality Law", but recently it became publicly known. A great idea of ​​Turing in developing computers to help resolve specifications and break them can have saved more lives in the war. For him, this is also a fun time. - Turing together with other digitalist, WG Welchman, developed Bombe, a machine based on the early works of Polish mathematicians who had been interpreted since the late 1940 's. All information sent by the German Air Force Enigma aircraft. The German navy's Enigma aircraft is even more difficult to break, but this is the issue Turing is enjoying. By the middle of 1941, the statistical method of Turing and captured information brought the German Navy's signal to be deciphered in Blessedley.
