Скачать или смотреть The Black Chamber | The Rise and Fall of a Secretive Agency

In 1919, just as the wounds of World War I were beginning to heal, a new chapter of history started in a secret building in New York. Herbert Yardley, a brilliant cryptanalyst, founded the Black Chamber and began deciphering the codes of various nations. This clandestine organization decrypted diplomatic codes from around the world, gathering crucial information. Their first major challenge was breaking the complex codes of the Japanese Embassy. Alice, the team’s genius mathematician, discovered a key clue. However, an enemy lurked within. A spy disguised as a janitor was leaking information. Yardley and his team managed to catch the spy and overcome the crisis, but the real challenge was far from over. In 1929, Secretary of State Henry Stimson ordered the dissolution of the Black Chamber, stating, “Gentlemen do not read each other’s mail.” Despite Yardley’s emphasis on the importance of codebreaking, Stimson’s decision was resolute. Although the Black Chamber closed its doors, their efforts and achievements had a lasting impact. During World War II, successor agencies like the Signal Security Agency (SSA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) carried on their legacy. The story of the Black Chamber continues.
