William Thomas Tutte (May 14th 1917 - May 2nd 2002) was a mathematician and cryptanalyste British, then Canadian. During the Second world war, it broke one of the principal German codes, which had a significant impact on the allied operations. It also made important contributions in mathematics, of which a work founder in Combinatoire and Graph theory.
It was born with Newmarket in the Suffolk, the son of a gardener. At 18 years, he studied the Chimie in Trinity college of the Université of Cambridge. As student, it made research on the Quadrature of the square.
At the beginning of the second world war, its tutor suggested that it joins the Government Code and Cipher School , which it did in May 1941. Tutte worked with Bletchley Park like cryptanalyste, and succeeds in, in what is sometimes regarded as “one of the greatest intellectual prowesses of the second world war”, deducing the structure of the German machine of encoding Lorenz SZ 40/42 (called Tunny), used for the communications of high-level in the German army, starting from the only knowledge of some intercepted encrypted messages.
