The National Security Agency/Central Security Service

has served as America's codemakers and codebreakers for over 50 years. At no point in the Agency's history has it been more important to share information about its rich legacy and to educate the public on its missions to protect our nation.


The NSA/CSS Public and Media Affairs Office works closely with elements throughout the Agency, to include the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) Office and the Center for Cryptologic History, to provide accurate and timely unclassified information in response to public and media requests.


In addition to answering specific queries, NSA/CSS regularly releases information to the public in the form of hard copy and electronic press releases, congressional testimony, public speeches and briefings, special reports, Freedom of Information Act releases, and declassification intiatives.


NSA/CSS understands that its long-term success is absolutely dependent upon the nurturing of future generations of U.S. cryptologists. Thus, the Agency is totally committed to continual learning and development for its current workforce, and reaches out into the community with a plethora of educational programs for students of all ages. Programs aimed at developing and recruiting the best and the brightest computer/electrical engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, linguists, cryptanalysts, and signals analysts in the world. » More
