Later Career
Kahn was awarded a doctorate (D.Phil) from Oxford University in 1974, in modern German history under the supervision of the then Regius professor of modern history, Hugh Trevor-Roper.
Kahn continued his work as a reporter and op-ed editor for Newsday until 1998, and also served as a journalism professor at New York University.
Despite past differences between Kahn and the National Security Agency over the information in The Codebreakers, Kahn was selected in 1995 to become NSA's scholar-in-residence. On 26 October 2010, Kahn attended a ceremony at NSA's National Cryptologic Museum (NCM) to commemorate his donation of his lifetime collection of cryptologic books, memorabilia, and artifacts to the museum and its library. The collection is housed at the NCM library and is non-circulating (that is, items cannot be checked out or loaned out), but photocopying and photography of items in the collection are allowed.
Kahn lives (as of 2012) in New York City, New York. He has lived in Washington, D.C.; Paris, France; Freiburg, Germany; Oxford, England; and Great Neck, New York.
