She co-developed one of the U.S. Navy's cipher machines, the Communications Machine. This cipher machine became a standard enciphering device for the Navy for most of the 1920s. Driscoll led the attack on the Japanese M-1 cipher machine. In October 1940, she worked on breaking the German naval Enigma cipher.
