+ This module implements an \emph{Enigma} cipher that is equivalent to
+ the most widely distributed model: the Enigma~I (subtypes {\sc m1}
+ {\sc m2} and {\sc m3}).%
+ \footnote{%
+ See \from[model-i] for a showcase.
+ }
+ Machines of this type had three rotors, a non-moving reflector and,
+ as a novelty at the time of their introduction, a plugboard.
+ The simulation accepts arbitrary configurations of these components,
+ as well as the starting position of the rotors, and then processes
+ text accordingly.
+ Depending on the input, this yields the plaintext or ciphertext, as
+ encryption and decryption are the same.
+
+ The code is provided as a module (interface for \CONTEXT) as well as
+ a package (\PLAIN, \LATEX).
+ It is subject to the {\sc bsd} license, see below,
