Turing's Misconceptions As Depicted In The Movie '

Problem and Ways
After the successful construction of his machine, Turing names it Christopher. Unfortunately, Christopher cannot determine the German’s Enigma as they reset the communication encryption on a daily basis. Following this failure, Denniston orders the destruction of the machine and lays off Turing. However, the Turing’s cryptographers colleagues threaten to quit if he is laid off. Clarke, Turing’s fiancé plans to leave on the wishes of her parents, but Turing proposes to her of which she accepts. At their reception, Turing confirms his homosexuality to Carncross and warns him to keep it as a secret. At a certain instance, Turing overhears a conversation of a female clerk about the messages she receives, and he correspondingly has an epiphany about decoding the German’s encryptions. He thus realizes that by using certain words that he is familiar with in certain contextual messages, he can potentially program the machine successfully to decode the encryptions. Once he recalibrates the functions of the machine, it is able to decode the first message and the colleagues celebrate. For the purpose of ensuring the Germans are kept in the dark, Turing then …show more content…
The most important technique and the main focus of the movie is based on the Turing’s machine, Christopher. Turing’s invention has the ability to basically read the coded messages, understand them, and thereby decrypt them. The second technique relies on traditional decryption styles. However, this technique is inefficient owing to the fact that it considers a total number of 159 million possibilities of each encryption. The other two techniques are not mention or described in detail as the first two. However, the techniques are described as the study of algebra as a means to understand and decrypt codes and as the study of independent science which focuses on the understanding the
