Herbert O. Yardley (1889-1958)A pioneer of American cryptography, he had run the American Black Chamber until it was closed down. He subsequently published an account of his activities which embarrassed the American Administration. Legislation (popularly known as the 'Yardley Act') was then enacted to punish anyone making future disclosures. Perhaps unwittingly, TYLER KENT had transgressed the Yardley Act by his disclosures to ANNA WOLKOFF and CAPTAIN RAMSAY.
