World War II Codebreaker Bletchley Park Is New UK School For Cybersecurity

The 2014 movie The Imitation Game tells the story of Alan Turing, the UK coding genius who built the influential Turing Machine, helped defeat the Nazis, but who also accepted chemically castration as an alternative to being gaoled for homosexual offences. Treated disgracefully by the establishment, he was finally pardoned by the Queen in 2013, following a public apology by then British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in 2009. The film was overdue recognition for the work Turing had done in computing and winning World War II for the allies. During the War, Turing worked for the Government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park, an hour's drive north of London and while Turing died at the tragically young age of 42 and can't come back, Bletchley Park has since resurrected itself as a national monument for the work done there. The Government bought the 581-acre site in 1938 and it was reopened in 1993 as a museum, but is now expected to play a vital role in the current coding threat of cybersecurity, not secret Nazi codes.
