Typex is a cryptographic machine that was used by the British during World War II for secure communications. It was a development of the earlier German Enigma machine and was designed to provide enhanced security for military messages. Typex employed a variety of features, including multiple rotors and a plugboard system, which allowed for a greater number of possible encryption settings compared to the original Enigma. This complexity made it much more resistant to cryptographic attacks.
