- Alan Turing (British) — A leading codebreaker at Bletchley Park. - Elizabeth Smith Friedman (American) — A pioneering cryptanalyst, she dismantled Nazi espionage networks in the Western Hemisphere. - Marian Rejewski (Polish) — A mathematician who first broke Enigma in the 1930s using innovative mathematical techniques.
