Banburismus was a cryptanalytic process developed by Alan Turing at Bletchley Park in Britain during the Second World War.[1] It was used by Bletchley Park's Hut 8 to help break German Kriegsmarine (naval) messages enciphered on Enigma machines. The process used sequential conditional probability to infer information about the likely settings of the Enigma machine.[2] It gave rise to Turing's invention of the ban as a measure of the weight of evidence in favour of a hypothesis.[3][4] This concept was later applied in Turingery and all the other methods used for breaking the Lorenz cipher.[5]
