In the Army Security Agency we used cryptology among other things. There is a cryptology museum at Ft. Meade, MD. Early computers were used in cryptology. There is a 6 ton computer on display there. The attached placcard says, “The smart phone in your pocket is a far more powerful computer than this one which weighs 6 tons”.
