Driscoll played a key role in breaking the Red Book code, a Japanese naval code, in the 1920s. She worked on machine ciphers &amp; contributed to the development of new cryptographic techniques and devices.</p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Meyer_Driscoll" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnes_Me</span><span class="invisible">yer_Driscoll</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cryptology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cryptology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/intelligenceanalysis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intelligenceanalysis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/womeninscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>womeninscience</span></a></p>

Mural Hunters - Łowcy MuraliMural by Julian Nowicki in Bydgoszcz (Poland) dedicated to Marian Rejewski, a Polish mathematician and cryptologist who in late 1932 reconstructed the sight-unseen Nazi German military Enigma cipher machine<br> --<br> „Odszyfrowany Rejewski“, czyli mural upamiętniający Mariana Rejewskiego, matematyka i kryptologa, który w 1932 r. złamał szyfr Enigmy, najważniejszej maszyny szyfrującej używanej przez hitlerowskie Niemcy. Wielkoformatowy portret zdobi ścianę kamienicy przy ul. Gdańskiej 10 w Bydgoszczy. Powstał w 2017 r., a zaprojektował go i wykonał Julian Nowicki.
