1 Alan Turing s Work on Voice Encryption Craig Bauer
2 Prologue: Inverters 1920s analog system put into use by AT&T. Prevented casual eavesdropping, but easily inverted back by determined amateurs. The frequency pof each component is replaced with s p, where sis the frequency of a carrier wave. This makes the low tones sound high and vice versa. Kahn, p.554
3 Prologue II: The A-3 Scrambler AT&T and RCA, 1937 Bandsplitting(5 subbands) with inversion. Only 6 keys ever used! Privacy, not Security Kahn, p.554
4 Prologue II: The A-3 Scrambler Used by President Roosevelt and Winston Churchill!! Solved by Germans by September (after only a few months work) Kahn, p
5 June 1942 The security device has not yet been invented which is of any protection whatever against the skilled engineers who are employed by the enemy to record every word of every conversation made. British foreign Office Memorandum FO/371/32346 Hodges, p. 236
6 October 1943 In addition, this equipment furnishes a very low degree of security, and we know definitely that the enemy can break the system with almost no effort. - Colonel Frank McCarthy, Secretary to the Army General Staff to Harry Hopkins, Assistant to President Roosevelt Mehl, p. 5
7 Too Redundant Redundancy in speech allows us to comprehend it through music, background noise, bad connections, mumbling, other people speaking, etc. Some can even understand much inverted speech! Speech is hard to disguise because of this. Sound spectrograph attacks can be carried out like jigsaw puzzles.
8 Part I: SIGSALY The Following are Equivalent 1) SIGSALY 2) RC-220-T-1 3) The Green Hornet 4) Project X ) Project X (Atomic Bomb was Project Y) 6) X-Ray 7) Special Customer Proof see the literature
9 How We Should Market Texts?
10 Part I: SIGSALY Image from
11 Part I: SIGSALY
12 Based on earlier Vocoder(voice coder) technology for digitizing speech. Getting Started 1936 Bell Labs 1977 You tell me!
13 Getting Started The vocoder was originally invented for speech compression [down to 10%], to reduce bandwidth costs on undersea phone cables. Tompkins, p. 23
14 Diverse Applications
15 The Cost of Compression It made a curious kind of robot voice. Henry Stimson, Secretary of War Tompkins p. 63
16 SIGSALY Nov. 42 -Experimental station installed in New York. July 43 - Final Version Activated linking Washington D.C. and London. First transmission of digital speech. First practical Pulse Code Modulation (refers to digitization process - details to follow)
17 Transmit Terminal
18 SIGGRUV
19 SIGGRUV Add key to encipher Subtract key to decipher Communication ceased if key stopped Speech sampled 50 times per second (about the size of a phoneme)
20 Don t Play it Again Uncle Sam! Played thermal noise backward 12 minutes per single sided 16 record Over 1,500 key sets made Tompkins p. 68 Destroyed after use.
21 SIGBUSE
22 Need Air-conditioning Too! Mehlon right
23 Channels 10 channel vocoder for speech (from 150 Hz to 2950 Hz) 11 th and 12 th channel for pitch Each channel was 25 Hz Total bandwidth = 12x25 = 300 Hz Spread spectrum makes jamming harder Sent later at VHF.
24 . Discretizing and Enciphering
25 Logarithmic Companding Log of the signal allows finer discernement at lower amplitudes Good choice, as ear distinguishes lower amplitudes more finely Decibel scale is logarithmic
26 Why not just add without mod? 1) Mod 6 solution was Harry Nyquist sidea. Mehl, p. 38 2) Must also mod or cipher level 0 message level of 0 and cipher level 10 message level of 5 3) It would be like hearing the message over the background noise of the key.
27 SIGSALY Originally tried a binary system, but it could not be made understandable on the receiving end. The senarysystem (6 levels for each channel) worked, but 36 levels were used for pitch. (could count pitch as two channels, as each was enciphered, 6*6=36, but not companded) Hodges, p. 246

31 The Connections

34 Never Broken! Germans thought it was just noise or a teletype signal. Sounded like music played at start of Green Hornet TV show of that era -Tompkins p. 72 Declassified in 1976
35
36 Turing s Arrival Americans were ahead of Brits (at Dollis Hill) and Turing was to learn from them. Entered Bell Labs Jan. 19, 1943 (after much debate probably reaching President Roosevelt Tompkins, p. 59, Hodges p. 245, Mehlp. 69 Secretary of War Stimson resolved it.) (in US Nov Mar. 16, 1943 and made visits elsewhere after starting at Bell Labs)
37 Turing s Contributions Most of Turing s time was spent on ciphony cryptanalysis (beta tester) Suggested improvements to SIGBUSE key SIGBUSE key was never used
38 British Concerns SIGSALY in London would be under U.S. control. If the equipment is to be operated solely by U.S. personnel it will be impossible to prevent them listening in if they so desire. -Turing Americans were often so focused on their jobs they didn t know what was actually said.
39 Never Broken! (General Douglas MacArthur didn t trust it!)
40 Never Broken! (General Douglas MacArthur didn t trust it!) So why replace it?
41 Never Broken! (General Douglas MacArthur didn t trust it!) So why replace it? 55 tons (70 ton shipping weight)
42 Never Broken! (General Douglas MacArthur didn t trust it!) So why replace it? 55 tons (70 ton shipping weight) Took up 2,500 square ft.
43 Never Broken! (General Douglas MacArthur didn t trust it!) So why replace it? 55 tons (70 ton shipping weight) Took up 2,500 square ft. Cost $250,000 $1,000,000+ (Tompkins p. 61)
44 Never Broken! (General Douglas MacArthur didn t trust it!) So why replace it? 55 tons (70 ton shipping weight) Took up 2,500 square ft. Cost $250,000 $1,000,000+ (Tompkins p. 61) Converted 30 kilowatts of power into 1 milliwatt of low quality speech. Hodges, p. 247
45 Never Broken! (General Douglas MacArthur didn t trust it!) So why replace it? 55 tons (70 ton shipping weight) Took up 2,500 square ft. Cost $250,000 $1,000,000+ (Tompkins p. 61) Converted 30 kilowatts of power into 1 milliwatt of low quality speech. Hodges, p. 247 Sounded like Donald Duck.
46 Part II -Delilah Inspiration: Idea hit Turing on trip back to England March 1943 (Hodges p. 273) Work not done at BP, but rather HanslopePark (10 miles to the north) for his own amusement! (Hodges p )
47 Delilah Deliliah the biblical deceiver of men The name was suggested by another, in response to a prize offer from Turing. -Hodges p.273
48 A Response from GCHQ! Protective Marking: UNCLASSIFIED Dear Craig I'm sorry for the delay in replying. I will be able to help (I think) on Feuerstein and on DELILAH -we have already released material on DELILAH to enable a rebuild of the system at Bletchley Park by the team which rebuilt the Bombe. I don't know what -if anything -we have in our Archives about RCS or SIGSALY but I will follow this up in the New Year. (If Ralph can't point you at anything in The National Archives, then nobody can!) Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year Tony XXXXX Departmental Historian
49 Speech System 'Delilah' Report on Progress Found by Ralph Erskine, Dated 6 June 1944 The unit uses seven valves and when suitably rearranged will probably occupy a space of about 10" x 8" x 5". -Turing British National Archives, HW 62/6 Available online at

52
53 Big X, small x Junior X -Mobile version of SIGSALY -Fit in a van -Used an 8 channel vocoder -Never deployed - Tompkins p. 54 Bell Labs also designed a 30 channel vocoder that took up 2 floors. Tompkins p. 60
54 Let s Get Small No vocoder Sent an analog signal, in contrast to the digital SIGSALY Only one keying system
55 Taking the Limit as Δx 0? Delilah sampled speech 4,000 times per second (SIGSALY was only 50) Message amplitudes scaled to not exceed 1 Key added (mod 1) didn t work for SIGSALY! Without mod step, cryptanalysis is possible, as with SIGSALY. For text, basic unit is letter (or bit) and OTP is proven unbreakable Not so clear with speech, although too infrequent sampling is obviously insecure.
56 Shannon s Bandwidth Theorem (Whittaker, 1915) If a signal time function is sampled instantaneously at regular intervals and at a rate at least twice the highest significant signal frequency, the samples contain all of the original message. -Mehl, p. 71 Turing discussed this with Shannon at Bell Labs. Delilah s 2,000 Hz required 4,000 samples/sec
57 Some Modern Comparisons CD Audio DVD Audio Sampling Rate 44.1 khz 192 khz Samples per second 44, ,000 Sampling Accuracy 16-bit 24-bit Number of Possible Output Levels 65,536 16,777,216 Early CD players were not as good at reconstructing analog waveforms from samples and this could be heard, but not now.
58 Fixing a Problem The result of the encryption was too high frequency for telephone circuits Solution was to feed each spike into a specially devised electronic circuit with an orthogonal property Hodges p. 275
59 Turing s Orthogonal Circuit Now pretty common in high speed digital communications systems. intersymbolinterference (ISI) is prevented zero crossings are at sampling points so they don t interfere Probably Turing or Shannon originated this idea.
60 New Info an 80-page paper! Authored by Alan Turing and electrical engineer Don Bayley
61 Key Possibilities Considered (a) recording random noise on discs or tape and using those recordings simultaneously at the ends of the transmission path and (b) generating identical voltages at each end. Turing and Bayley, p. 37
62 (a) has the disadvantage that the mechanical difficulties of starting and maintaining the keys in synchronism are large, and, furthermore, the number of discs or reels of tape required becomes prohibitive.
63 (a) has the disadvantage that the mechanical difficulties of starting and maintaining the keys in synchronism are large, and, furthermore, the number of discs or reels of tape required becomes prohibitive. But SIGSALY did it!
64 Plan (b) How to imitate randomness?
65 Good Vibrations Six multivibrators are locked with the pulse from the combiner and their outputs taken to networks which serve both to isolate individual multivibrators and to differentiate the outputs (so as to strengthen, relatively, the higher harmonics.) The fundamental frequency of each multivibrator is some exact sub-multiple of the combiner pulse frequency, the various submultiples being:-5, 7, 8, 9, 23, and 31. (p. 37)
66 Add a Teaspoon of Enigma The outputs of these networks (26 in all) pass through the cypher machineand are combined at the output end to form seven inputs to seven distorting networks. The distorting networks have differing phase characteristics so that the two out-puts which are produced by combining their seven outputs at the plugboard depend enormously on what frequencies were fed into the various networks i.e. on the setting of the cypher machine and the plugboard. (p. 37)
67 Enigma Variations Delilah produces a keystreambased on 8 multivibratorsrunning at prime number divisions being mixed together to produce a unique waveform. The mixing took place under the control of a cypher unit. This is somewhat similar to an Enigma machine without reflection so that the number of transposition permutations across 5 wheels amount, together with a 7 way plugboardto around 11 billion; so a mathematician friend of mine tells me. John Harper
68 Prime Time The multivibrators start simultaneously and since they have fundamental frequencies which are prime to one another it follows that they will arrive back at the starting position after a time 5x7x8x9x23x31 times the period of the locking pulse. That is, the key will repeat after 1,785,600 x 250 μsecs 7.48 mins. (p. 38) Other sources refer to 8 multivibrators.
69 Please Hold It was expect that the users would have to stop and change keys every 7 minutes!
70 Note:It has been assumed above that the reader is familiar with the cypher machine used. Should that not be the case it will be sufficient to understand that the machine is a device enabling 26 contacts to be connected to 26 others in a pre-determined random manner and that the mode of connection may be changed by pressing a key. (p. 38)
71 The Two Sides of an Enigma Rotor
72 Problems Couldn t be used for transatlantic conversations too difficult to synch up. Okay for local calls. Very little funding or resources (Turing was nearly working alone much of the time) Amplitudes needed precise measure and transmission, unlike senary system of SIGSALY
73 More Problems Signal to Noise ration = 10 db (speech only 10 times as powerful as noise) rather lower than desired according to Turing and Bayley
74 Game Over Not quite completed in time (spring 1945) for the war and not high enough quality for commercial use. As a contribution to British technology it had been a complete waste of time. Hodges p. 346
75 Rebuild! As regards the rebuild it is just reaching the point where the chassis and covers are coming together having recreated drawings using CNC and having the sheet metal profiles cut by laser cutter. We have most of the WWII valves (tubes) and other components donated. We have started on the Cypher Unit but this will need costly manufacturing for which we are not at present fully funded.however it is possible to carry out a lot of testing after the wiring is complete without this unit. John Harper
76 Part III: Feuerstein Site of a Vocoder lab in upper Franconia, Bavaria, Germany. Turing visited on May 15, 1945 Tompkins p. 192 TICOM raided it that summer Tompkins p. 192 See for more Turing trip in July according to Hodges p , but no mention of Feuerstein. Tommy Flowers and others went with Turing. to investigate encoded transmissions intercepted over Hanover Tompkins p. 59 I also want to learn more about Turing's secret TICOM visit to Feuerstein, based on his knowledge of intercepts from Hanover. (where Sennheiser was). Dave Tompkins
77 Bayern (Bavaria) Oberfranken (Upper Franconia)
78 Voice vs. Text Text systems took much longer to encipher and decipher perhaps too much longer! The NavajoCodetalkers, like SIGSALY was a voice system that was never broken.
