Four pioneers of American cryptology were inducted into the NSA's Hall of Honor today at the National Cryptologic Museum. In his keynote remarks during the induction ceremony, Lt Gen Michael V. Hayden, USAF, Director, National Security Agency/Chief, Central Security Service, highlighted the distinguished service of each of the inductees.

The Hall of Honor, created in 1999, pays tribute to the pioneers and heroes who have made significant and long-lasting contributions to American cryptology. The 2003 inductees are:

• Lambros D. Callimahos, author and teacher of NSA's most advanced course in cryptanalysis, enabled hundreds of cryptanalysts to reach the highest levels of proficiency, and through them influenced generations of American cryptologists.
• Dr. Lowell K. "Jim" Frazer, leader in mathematics, enabled the United States to create standards for effective evaluation of the strength of its communications security systems and its advances in computing.
• Juanita Moody, a constant innovator in intelligence production and reporting, led NSA production units through many crises and innovated with concepts of direct support to the White House.
• Howard E. Rosenblum, for three decades designed critical protection systems for voice communications, and created the innovative concepts that make today's most secure telephone systems practical.
