Abstract
This paper describes the theoretical possibilities of breaking messages encrypted by electro-mechanical rotor machines with use of parallel algorithms optimized with the capacities of supercomputers in mind. Rotor machines had been used by the military and civil organizations until the 1980s, and their most famous representative is German Enigma.
