'''Elizebeth Smith Friedman''' (August 26, 1892 – October 31, 1980) was an [[Americans|American]]
==Early life and education==
Friedman was born in [[Huntington, Indiana]], to John Marion Smith, a [[Religious Society of Friends|Quaker]] dairyman, banker, and politician, and

Elizebeth Smith began working at [[Riverbank Laboratories]] in [[Geneva, Illinois]], in 1916. It was one of the first facilities in the U.S.
On the staff at Riverbank was the man Elizebeth would marry in May 1917, [[William F. Friedman]], a plant biologist who also became involved in the Bacon-Shakespeare project.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|xi}}
Riverbank gathered historical information on secret writing.
The Friedmans worked together for the next four years in what was the only cryptographic facility in the country, until [[Herbert Yardley]]'s so-called "[[Black Chamber]]" was established as MI8, the Army's Cipher Bureau, in 1919. In 1921, the Friedmans left Riverbank to work for the [[United States Department of War|War Department]] in [[Washington, D.C.]]<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title=Code Girls| last= Mundy| first=Liza|publisher=Hachette Books|year=2017|isbn=978-0-316-35253-6|location=New York |pages= 69}}</ref> Their previous efforts to leave had been thwarted by Fabyan, who intercepted their mail.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|113}}

The 1919 National Prohibition Act, also known as the [[Volstead Act]], forbade the manufacture, sale, or trade of liquor in the United States.<ref name="USCG Cutter" /> However, [[Prohibition in the United States|Prohibition]], which was in effect from 1920 to 1933, did not stop the demand for alcoholic beverages, and the Coast Guard was put in charge of stopping [[Smuggling|smugglers]] along the coasts.<ref name="NSA CCH Aug 2020" /> [[Rum-running|Bootleggers]] and smugglers brought [[liquor]] and [[narcotic]]s into the U.S.,
The smugglers used encrypted [[Morse code]] radio messages extensively to conduct their operations.<ref name="Unit387-Memo-1943">{{cite book| url= https://archive.org/details/HistoryOfOP20GU|title=History of OP-20-GU (Coast Guard Cryptanalytic Unit)| last1= Jones| first1=Leonard T.|date=16 October 1943| publisher=Unit 387, Coast Guard Cryptanalytic Unit| format= Memorandum}}</ref> In response, the Coast Guard hired Elizebeth Friedman, who had quit her job in 1922, on a temporary basis to decode their backlog of messages.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|133-134}} Eventually, she and a small team of cryptanalysts she trained led the effort against international smuggling and drug-running.<ref name="NSA CCH Aug 2020" />
In 1927, the U.S. Treasury Department's Bureau of Prohibition and of Customs established a joint effort with the [[U.S. Coast Guard]] Intelligence Division to monitor international smuggling, drug-running, and criminal activity domestically and internationally.<ref>{{Cite web| url= https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/historical-figures-publications/publications/pre-wwii/assets/files/rumrunners.pdf| title= Listening to the Rumrunners:Radio Intelligence During Prohibition| last= Mowry| first=David P.|date= 2014|website=NSA.gov | publisher = | accessdate = }}</ref> From 1927 to 1939, the unit, which was of critical importance
Friedman solved the bulk of intercepts collected by Coast Guard stations in San Francisco and Florida herself. In June 1928, she was sent to teach C.A. Housel, stationed with the Coordinator of the Pacific Coast Details, how to decrypt
While working for the U.S. Coast Guard, the Bureau of Narcotics, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, the Bureau of Prohibition and Customs, and the Department of Justice, Friedman solved over 12,000 coded messages by hand in three years, resulting in 650 criminal prosecutions.<ref name="USCG Cutter" /><ref name="NSA CCH Aug 2020" /><ref>{{Cite book|title=The Codebreakers: The Story of Secret Writing|last=Kahn|first=David|publisher=Macmillan Co. Inc.| year= 1967| location=New York |pages=806}}</ref> One of the individuals Friedman helped to indict was [[Al Capone]].<ref name="Time2021">{{cite
In 1930, Friedman proposed creating a team of seven people to handle the increasing workload involved in decrypting messages. Her proposal was finally approved in 1931, and she was put in charge of the only codebreaking unit in America ever to be managed by a woman.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|139-141}} She recruited and trained the analysts, and by the end of 1932, had developed the best radio intelligence team in the country.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|141-142}} This allowed her to address new, atypical systems as they appeared and expedited the entire process from initial analysis through to solution. It also allowed her to stay one step ahead of the smugglers.{{Citation needed|date=April 2022}} "Our office doesn't make 'em, we only break 'em," said Friedman to a visitor who tried to sell her code-making assistance. The [[National Security Agency|NSA]] notes that she did "break 'em" many times over a variety of targets. Her successes led to the conviction of many violators of the Volstead Act.<ref name=NSA-HallOfHonor-ElizebethSFriedman-1999 />
In addition to her cryptanalytic successes, she often testified in cases against accused parties. She appeared as an expert witness in 33 cases and became famous as a result of newspaper and magazine articles about her.<ref name="NSA CCH Aug 2020" /> The messages she deciphered enabled her to implicate several smugglers in the Gulf of Mexico and on the Pacific Coast. She testified in cases in [[Galveston]] and [[Houston]] in Texas. In 1933 she was a star witness at the [[New Orleans]], Louisiana, trial of 23 suspected agents of the Consolidated Exporters Corporation.<ref name="WaPost-Elizebeth-Obit-1980" /> Her testimony resulted in the convictions of five of the ringleaders, who were directly linked with smuggling vessels as a result of her analysis.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|143-146}}
The next year she helped settle a dispute between the Canadian and U.S. governments over the true ownership of the sailing vessel ''[[I'm Alone]]''.<ref name=AJIL-ImAlone-1935>{{cite journal|title=Claim of the British Ship "I'm Alone" v.

The Canadian government filed a $350,000 suit against the U.S., but the intelligence gleaned from the twenty-three messages decoded by Friedman indicated ''de facto'' U.S. ownership just as the U.S. had originally suspected. The true owners of the ship were identified and most of the Canadian claim was dismissed.<ref name=URochester-RBSCP-ImAlone-1968>{{cite journal| last1= Skoglund| first1=Nancy Galey|title=The "I'm Alone Case" A Tale from the Days of Prohibition| journal=University of Rochester Library Bulletin|date=Spring 1968|volume=XXIII|issue=3|url=https://rbscp.lib.rochester.edu/1004|publisher=Rare Books, Special Collections and Preservation, [[University of Rochester]]|location=Rochester, New York |language=en}}</ref>
The Canadian government sought Friedman's help in 1937 with an opium-smuggling gang, and she eventually testified in the trial of Gordon Lim and several other Chinese. Her solution to a complicated unknown Chinese enciphered code, in spite of her unfamiliarity with the language, was key to the successful convictions.<ref name="NYTimes-Elizebeth-Obit-1980" />
===World War II===
During World {{nowrap|War II}}, Friedman's Coast Guard unit was transferred to the Navy, where they were the principal U.S. source of intelligence on [[Operation Bolívar]], the clandestine German network in [[South America]]. Prior to the Japanese [[attack on Pearl Harbor]] that brought the U.S. into the war, there was concern that Germany could eventually attack the U.S. via Latin America. The Nazi authorities also saw Latin America as a potential opportunity to
Friedman’s team remained the primary U.S. code
Over the course of the war, Friedman’s team decoded 4,000 messages sent on 48 different radio circuits.<ref name= fagone2017 />{{rp|197–202}} The work of Friedman's Unit 387 (Coast Guard Cryptanalytic Unit) was often in support of the FBI and [[J. Edgar Hoover]], and was not always credited.<ref name=Unit387-Memo-1943 /> In fact, Friedman was irritated by the "sloppiness" of the FBI,<ref name="Time2021" /> for example in rounding up spies in South America, thus alerting the Nazis that their codes had been broken.<ref name= fagone2017 />{{rp|243-247}} At the end of World War II, Hoover began a public media campaign claiming that the FBI led the code-breaking effort that resulted in the collapse and arrest of the German spy network in South America. This effort included a story in ''The American Magazine'' titled "How the Nazi Spy Invasion Was Smashed" and a publicity film called ''The Battle of the United States.'' Neither mentioned Friedman or the Coast Guard.<ref name= "Time2021" /><ref name= fagone2017 />{{rp|299–300}}
In 1944, Friedman helped convict [[Velvalee Dickinson]] for having attempted to send information to Japan.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/28/nyregion/answers-to-questions-about-new-york.html|title=Answers to Questions About New York| last= Pollak|first=Michael|date=2013-04-26|work=The New York Times|access-date=2018-02-19|language=en-US| issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Known as the "Doll Woman," her antique doll shop was her cover as she corresponded with Japanese agents using the names of women from her business correspondence.

The work that Gallup had done earlier for Col. Fabyan at Riverbank operated on the assumption that Bacon wrote Shakespeare and used the [[bi-literal cipher]] he invented in the original printed Shakespeare folios, employing "an odd variety of typefaces." The Friedmans, however, "in a classic demonstration of their life's work," buried a hidden Baconian cipher on a page in their publication. It was an italicized phrase which, using the different type faces, expressed their final assessment of the controversy: "I did not write the plays. F. Bacon."{{citation needed |date=September 2017}} Their book is regarded as the definitive work, if not the final word, on the subject. Ironically, it was the Riverbank effort to prove Bacon wrote Shakespeare that introduced the Friedmans to cryptology.

In the 1930s, William Friedman began to show signs of the depression that afflicted him for the rest of his life. Elizebeth supported him and began covering up for him.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|150-151}} In January 1941 he was admitted to the Neuropsychiatric Section at [[Walter Reed Army Medical Center|Walter Reed General Hospital]] in Washington, DC, where he spent two and a half months in a mental ward. His condition was deemed to be anxiety due to overwork on a top secret project.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|218-222}} After the war, Elizebeth spent more and more of her time taking care of her husband. In April 1955, he suffered his first heart attack. His health continued to worsen, and he died on November 2, 1969.<ref name= fagone2017/>{{rp|330-334}}
