    Thank you (especially for this "comparing modern cryptography with the enigma is not actually reasonable."). I considered this may be true, but didn't have enough solid training to be certain. As for subkeys, I don't need them anymore. As long as I can use my same key for both, it makes my life simpler :) Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 4:40
  • By the way, fun fact: the enigma had another flaw that allowed for breaking it: it was a character-based encryption and never encrypted any character with itself. Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 4:44

    Welcome to sec.SE, @GlenJarvis - instead of how forums work, a "thank you" would be rather an up vote then a comment and a "this solved my question" would be an "accept this answer". This way, future readers can easily identify good answers and which answers helped with the question. Commented Aug 21, 2017 at 5:02
