Hall of Honor

The making and breaking of codes and ciphers is a profession that demands intellect, patience and imagination, while providing little recognition beyond the confines of the cryptologic community.  That is why we participate in NSA's efforts to bring honor to those whose contributions to this discipline have been significant.

Members of the Foundation and its Officers and Board of Directors are well qualified to assess such contributions to cryptology, since they have long-term, intimate knowledge of the events and the people who have played significant roles in these events.

The Foundation makes nominations to the NSA Center for Cryptologic History of candidates for induction into the Cryptologic Hall of Honor, exhibited in the museum.  The Hall of Honor was created in 1999 and pays tribute to those who have rendered exceptionally distinguished service to the field of American cryptology.
