Brigadier John Hessell Tiltman, CMG, CBE, MC (25 May 1894 – 10 August 1982) was a British Army officer who worked in intelligence, often at or with the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS) starting in the 1920s. His intelligence work was largely connected with cryptography, and he showed exceptional skill at cryptanalysis. His work in association with Bill Tutte on the cryptanalysis of the Lorenz cipher, the German teleprinter cipher, called "Tunny" (for tunafish) at Bletchley Park, led to breakthroughs in attack methods on the code, without a computer. It was to exploit those methods, at extremely high speed with great reliability, that Colossus, the first digital programmable electronic computer, was designed and built.

  • John Hessell Tiltman (25 maggio 1894 – 10 agosto 1982) è stato un crittografo britannico. Dal 1920 ha spesso operato nel settore dello spionaggio, in particolare sui sistemi di crittografia. Lavorò a Bletchley Park, dove i suoi metodi si rivelarono piuttosto efficaci nell'analisi del cifrario tedesco denominato Fish, e fu proprio per consentire una più efficace applicazione di questi metodi che venne progettato e costruito il Colossus, primo elaboratore elettronico programmabile.

  • John H. Tiltman (Londres, 25 de mayo de 1894 – Hawái, 10 de agosto de 1982) fue un criptoanalista británico, oficial del Ejército Británico que trabajó en inteligencia, a menudo en la Government Communications Headquarters (GC&CS) a partir de la década de 1920. Su trabajo de inteligencia estaba en gran medida relacionado con la criptografía, y demostró una habilidad excepcional en el criptoanálisis. Su trabajo en asociación con Bill Tutte en el criptoanálisis de la cifra de Lorenz, la cifra de teleimpresora alemana, llamada "Tunny" (para el atún) en Bletchley Park, dio lugar a grandes avances en los métodos de ataque al código, sin necesidad de un ordenador. Fue para explotar estos métodos, a una velocidad extremadamente alta y con gran fiabilidad, que se diseñó y construyó Colossus, el pr (es)
