Rotor Machine State

Assembles a complete rotor machine from its components.

Source: Native Python

Overview

This node assembles a complete rotor machine by combining rotors, a stepper mechanism, and optional auxiliary components like entry wheels, reflectors, and plugboards. The resulting machine can then be used for encryption and decryption.

Parameters

• rotors: A ROTORS chain of rotors (from the Rotor Machine Rotor node). Required.
• stepper: A STEPPER object that defines how the rotors step (from a stepper node). Required.
• entry: (Optional) A PERMUTATION entry wheel (ETW). Applied first on the way in, and inverted on the way out. Identity for Wehrmacht Enigmas.
• reflector: (Optional) A PERMUTATION static reflector (UKW). Must be an involution. Use this OR reflector_rotor, not both.
• reflector_rotor: (Optional) A PERMUTATION reflector that takes a position (slot 0). A chain of exactly one rotor with an involutive wiring. Use this OR reflector, not both.
• plugboard: (Optional) A PERMUTATION Steckerbrett. Applied outermost, before the entry wheel. Must be an involution.
• auxilliary_rotors: (Optional) A ROTORS chain of auxiliary rotors that do not participate in stepping.

Outputs

• cipher_machine: A MACHINE object ready for use with the Rotor Machine Encrypt/Decrypt node.

Additional Considerations

• The machine requires at least one rotor.
• The reflector and reflector_rotor are mutually exclusive - use only one.
• The entry wheel, reflector, and plugboard must each map an alphabet to itself and must be involutions (except the entry wheel, which can be any permutation).
• When using auxiliary rotors, preset steppers are not supported. Use rule or circuit steppers instead.
