American and British intelligence used a secret relationship with the founder of a Swiss encryption company to help them spy during the Cold War, newly released documents analysed by the BBC reveal.
The story of the German Enigma machine is well-known – a device built to provide secure communications but which British code-breakers managed to crack at Bletchley Park.
But there is another story – not fully told until now – about what came after.
The demand for machines like Enigma grew after the end of the World War Two. And one private company led the way in meeting that demand.
That company, founded by a man called Boris Hagelin, was called Crypto AG.
