	Agnes Meyer Driscoll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Driscoll broke Japanese Navy manual codes -- the Red Book Code in the 1920s, and the Blue Book Code in 1930, and in 1940 she made critical inroads into JN-25, the Japanese fleet's operational code, which the U.S. Navy exploited after the attack on Pearl Harbor for the rest of the Pacific War.
		Driscoll was part of the navy contingent that joined the new national cryptologic agencies, first the Armed Forces Security Agency in 1949 and then the National Security Agency in 1957.
		Driscoll died in 1971 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

	Agnes Meyer Driscoll
		Agnes Meyer Driscoll was one of America's leading cryptanalysts during the early part of the twentieth century and was sometimes described as "the first lady of naval cryptology." She was born in Genesco, Illinois in 1889.
		Meyer enlisted in the Naval Reserve as a Chief Yeoman in 1918 where she began her career as a cryptanalyst (cryptanalysis is the science of breaking codes.) Her active duty ending in July, 1919.
		Agnes Driscoll served as a "principal cryptanalyst" for the Navy until December 1950.

	St. Agnes History
		In 1906, H.A. and L.S. Meyer purchased a house to be used as a school, which would become the original St. Agnes Elementary School.
		Because of the existence of St. Agnes School and the number of families living south of the railroad tracks, lay leaders of the South Springfield families petitioned Bishop John J. Hogan to establish a parish for them.
		Agnes Chapel was built during the renovation of St. Agnes Cathedral, and the old grade school was razed.

	Agnes Meyer Driscoll
		Agnes Meyer Driscoll's work as a navy cryptanalyst who broke a multitude of Japanese naval systems, as well as a developer of early machine systems, marks her as one of the true "originals" in American cryptology.
		Driscoll was engaged in the U.S. Navy's effort against the German naval Enigma machine, although this work was superceded by the U.S.-U.K. cryptologic exchanges in 1942-43.
		Driscoll was part of the navy contingent that joined the new national cryptologic agencies, first the Armed Forces Security Agency in 1949 and then the National Security Agency in 1952.

		Agnes Driscoll joined the U.S. Navy in 1918, with a degree in mathematics and physics, and a proficiency in English, French, German, Latin, and Japanese.
		Driscoll was instrumental in breaking Japanese naval systems between the wars.
		Driscoll also assisted in the development of an early cipher machine and encouraged the use of tabulating machines for cryptanalysis.

	The Pearl Harbor Deception, by Robert Stinnett
		Lietwiler was a highly trained crypto expert in deciphering the Japanese navy's main operation code known to Japan in the fall of 1941 as the Kaigun Ango-sho D, Ransuhyo nana (Navy Code Book D, random numbers table seven).
		He spent 1940 and most of 1941 learning the principles of decoding Code Book D from Agnes Meyer Driscoll, the brilliant Chief Civilian Cryptanalyst for the U.S. Navy.
		Driscoll was the first American to discover the solution of Code Book D, soon after Japan introduced it in June 1939.

		One of the first things he did was to establish radio intercept stations in the Pacific, to furnish more material for code-breaking than was obtainable through haphazard monitoring by ships and the naval radio station in Shaghai.
		A onetime mathematics teacher and former employee of the Code and Signal Section, under which the Research Desk came, she soon proved to be an outstanding code-breaker.
		But Driscoll by then had learned the ships, communications patterns, and frequently used phrases of the Japanese fleet, and she solved its transposition encipherment and then reconstructed the entire 85,000-group, two-part code.

		The work of Louis W. Tordella, Joseph J. Rochefort and Agnes Meyer Driscoll was instrumental in breaking hundreds of Japanese naval codes, most notably the Japanese dispatches leading to the Battle of Midway, a turning point in the war.
		Driscoll was the first to use machines to help break codes and by the end of her 30-year career had cracked three full Japanese encryption systems.
		Tordella, who was to become the longest-serving deputy director of NSA from 1958 to 1974, also was a naval cryptologist during World War II and was the first to push for a giant machine called a supercomputer, which he argued could help break codes.

		Of these, junior historians will love the NSA/CSS History Timeline, which features events, people, places and technology in cryptologic history.
		Visitors will learn about folks such as Agnes Meyer Driscoll, who worked as a Navy cryptanalyst and broke Japanese naval codes in World War II, and encryption units such as the Army's Sigaba, which was the only machine system used during World War II to remain completely unbroken by an enemy.
		For those seeking some message-breaking lore and exercises, a stop by Codes & Ciphers should suffice.

		CAST remained on the rock until the spring of 1942 when advancing Japanese troops forced its removal to Australia.
		Driscoll was the first American to discover the solution of Code Book D, soon after Japan introduced it in June 1939. Upon completing the Code Book D crypto course, Lietwiler was dispatched to CAST with the latest decoding details of Table Seven.
		He arrived and took command of CAST in September 1941.
