Have you heard of the Enigma machine? You may have recently with the film The Imitation Game.

“The Enigma machines were a series of electro-mechanical rotor cipher machines developed and used in the early- to mid-twentieth century to protect commercial, diplomatic and military communication. Enigma was invented by the German engineer Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I.” (from Wikipedia)
