SIGSALY: Churchill's top-secret wartime hotline to Roosevelt

Original: SIGSALY: Churchill's top secret hotline to the president

The Imperial War Museums is highlighting SIGSALY, the Second World War scrambled telephone system that let Winston Churchill hold secure voice conversations with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The pioneering encryption device, developed by Britain and the United States, protected Allied strategy from German interception and marked a major step in the history of secure communications.

Why now: Interest in wartime cryptography and communications history keeps resurfacing as readers encounter museum material on Allied code-breaking technology.
