[GreenKeys] Washington Post article about Swiss crypto device maker CRYPTO AG

[Dave Wade]

Jerry,

Very interested. I know after WWII the UK sold Enigma machines to some of the colonies but kept a couple of machines at GCHQ that could crack them

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_machine#Models

perhaps they ran out of Enigmas....
