Amateurs & Collectors play an important role for the history of
cryptography.
The Enigma history may serve as a case study.

The Enigma-Myth
Study focussed on 3 aspects
• Swiss Enigma & Nema history
• Social groups today
• Enigma in the media
![Page 8: The Enigma Myth - Amateurs & Collectors and their Role for Cryptographic History Presentation for the Symposium Global Perspectives on Cryptologic History“](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0d5503460f949e22b7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Is there an Enigma-community?
• contemporary witnesses
• scientists
• collectors

Amateur & Collectors
• Collecting objects
• Documenting
• Simulating
• Community building

Hiding
„I do not want to have my name published. You might call me „collector x“. There are 3 reasons for my attitude: I have a few extremely rare pieces, not just cipher machines. There are people who would like to know that. And I feel that CIA & NSA are still following up on that and think these machines belong to them. They might show up one day and take them away from me“

Refurbish & Reconstruct
„I like the idea of having objects that nobody else has.These are parts that are often destroyed. Sometimes I get the feeling that there are persons who do not like that and are quite happy I am not writing a book about it“
Günter Hütter, Austria

Summary
• Variety of groups, variety of motivation –but all focus in on the one object: Enigma
• Variety of information channels: Formal and informal..
• Boundary objects
![Page 23: The Enigma Myth - Amateurs & Collectors and their Role for Cryptographic History Presentation for the Symposium Global Perspectives on Cryptologic History“](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d0d5503460f949e22b7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Conclusions
• Collectors & museums: Museum have formal rules. Collectors informal rules.
• Museums: Often can neither operate nor restaurate machines
• Collectors: Sometimes operate and restaurate machines

Conclusions 3
• Museum: Long duration
• Collectors: Transitory

Outlook
How to save, collect, restore, display and teach the present and future with
all devices being black boxes with digital tech?
