NSA's Center for Cryptologic History sponsors the Symposium on Cryptologic
History every two years. The next one will be held 15-16 October 2009. Historians
from the Center, other parts of the Intelligence Community, and the Department of
Defense will join distinguished scholars from American and foreign academic
institutions, along with veterans of the profession and others interested in
cryptology, for two days of reflection and debate on the cryptologic past. Under
this year's theme, "Global Perspectives on Cryptologic History," participants
will consider the impact of cryptology within the context of transnational history.
The panels include a range of technological, operational, foreign relations,
organizational, counterintelligence, policy, and even literary themes. Past symposia
have featured scholarship setting out new ways of considering cryptologic history.
The mix of practitioners and scholars on occasion can be volatile, but the result is
a significantly enhanced appreciation for the context of past events. This
year's symposium promises to tackle controversial subjects head-on. Breaks and
luncheons, presenting rare opportunities for lively discussion and interaction with
leading scholars and distinguished experts, will be included in the registration
fees. The symposium will be held at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laboratory's Kossiakoff Center in Laurel, Maryland. Make plans to join us for
either one or both days of this intellectually stimulating conference. For more
information, contact Dr. Kent Sieg, Symposium coordinator, at 301-688-2336 or
