In June 1917, Herbert Yardley convinced the new head of the Army’s Military Intelligence Division to create a code and cipher section for the Army with himself as its head. ..These two seminal events were the beginning of modern American cryptology, the growth of which culminated 35 years later with the creation of the National Security Agency. Each running their own cryptologic agencies in the 1920s, the Friedman-Yardley relationship was shattered after Yardley published a tell-all book about his time in military intelligence. Yet in the end, the work they all started in 1917 led directly to the modern American intelligence community. As they got older, they became increasingly irrelevant in the burgeoning American cryptologic fraternity. ..Topics and features:..* Examines the lives of three remarkable and pioneering cryptologists..* Offers fascinating insights into spies, codes and ciphers, rumrunners, poker, and military history..* Sheds new light on interesting parts of the cryptologists’ c | | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | | 关键词 | Cipher Bureau; Cryptology; Steganography; Information Security; Secret Communications | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-28318-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-28320-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-28318-5Series ISSN 2190-6831 Series E-ISSN 2190-684X | | issn_series | 2190-6831 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
