Original Summary
Watched a recent youtube veritasium on the enigma machine and was curious on how JEV would do in regards to the analysts calls made at Bletchley's. I rebuilt the historical sequence into the software ux.<p>Results were a mixed, which is what made it interesting. Given the right crib, the Bombe breaks 22 of 25 messages; ciphertext-only against 10 plugs, 0 of 25, same wall Bletchley hit. As a judge of "is this decryption German?" Jev is excellent: AUC 0.9999, 159/160 right decisions. As a crib selector it has no skill at all; its ranking is no better than the fixed list.<p>Against XGBoost an classical judges, it ties on the same kind of data. But trained on synthetic traffic and tested on real intercepts, and XGBoost drops to 53% correc versus zero-shot Jev holds at 97%.
