CZECHOSLOVAK AND POLISH INTELLIGENCE (CRYPTOLOGIC) SERVICES AT THE TIME OF THE INSTITUTIONALISATION OF BOTH STATES AND THEIR ARMIES AFTER 1918

Original language description

In the course of historical development, the intelligence or cryptologic departments ofindividual states, usually associated with military structures, have influenced the outcomes of (military)conflicts (especially during the 19thcentury, World War I and II, and the Cold War), as well as politicalevents. For this reason, it is important to examine not only their political and historical impact, butalso the technologies (codes and ciphers, production of cipher machines etc.) used in their operations.To find out the form and extent of the education of intelligence (cryptologic) personnel, which takesplace at different types of higher (technical, military) schools in theoretical and practical fields, andtheir results applied in the activities of most of the state-controlled power apparatuses (foreign, interior,army-defense, National Security Bureau etc.), as well as in the communication (secure) channels of thestate.Later, especially in the 1990s in Europe, these practices have been used outside the state apparatusin the commercial sphere. There was a demand for encryption devices and for programs for dataprotection (ensuring computer security, e.g. in banks, mobile operators, in the ICT industry, in thefight against international terrorism and organised crime, in ensuring the protection of individual rights,etc.), and for activities in applied cryptology. In the last five years, several cryptology conferences havebeen held each year to exchange knowledge in the field and to characterise and understand the constantstruggle between the creators and the crackers of ciphers, as this connection has in the past led tomany scientific discoveries applicable to the everyday life of individual societies. The paper focuses onthe analysis of the creation and organisation of intelligence services within the Czechoslovak and Polisharmies after 1918.Keywords:History of science and technology, Czechoslovakia, Poland, 1918–1938, intelligence(cryptologic) service, French military mission, army of Czechoslovakia, army of Poland, World War I,Versailles system.
