What British citizen invented a machine called Colossus What was the purpose of the machine?

Tommy Flowers and Max Newman invented the Colossus computer. Its purpose was to help crack the German High Command's teletype codes that the British called "Fish".


Why was the colossus built?

To help crack the German High Command "Fish" cypher. The "Fish" cypher, unlike the German operational "Enigma" cypher was fully automatic: after setting the initial code wheel settings you typed clear text on one teletype and encrypted text was printed and punched by another. The cypher used a pseudorandom binary number generator, the result of which was xored with the bits of a teletype character. By using predetermined random settings for each message the Germans hoped to simulate a one time pad cypher system.
