Abstract

Fialka M-125 (sometimes called the “Russian Enigma”) is an electro-mechanical rotor cipher machine used during the Cold War. The designers of this cipher eliminated the known weaknesses of Enigma. In this article, the authors summarize the main principle of the Fialka algorithm from public sources. Moreover, they introduce a mathematical model of the Fialka cipher, and they analyse the effect of blocking pin settings on the cipher's period.
