Non Secret Encryption

Buonasera,
volevo segnalarvi, per chi ancora non l'avesse visto, un link apparso 
recentemente su cryptome: http://cryptome.org/nsa-nse/nsa-nse-01.htm

"The National Security Agency has released under FOIA nine crypto papers 
in response to a request for informaton on Non-Secret Encryption filed 
in October 1999 <http://cryptome.org/nsa-foia-recap.htm>. Three of the 
papers were formerly classified Top Secret Codeword, one was formerly 
classified Secret and were declassified for this request"

I paper in oggetto sono:

"Elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC)"
"The authentication problem" (J. H. Ellis)"The story on non-secret 
encryption" (J. H. Ellis)"An Identity Based Public Key System" (Clifford 
Cocks)"Modular PKI Status Report"
"A Digital Signature Scheme Constructed with Error-correcting Codes"
"A New Public-key Cryptosystem based on k-th power Residues"
"Appendix: VII: Public Key systems"
"A Proposal for Unclassified Public Key Signature and Key Exchange 
Standards"

Riguardano essenzialmente la storia e lo sviluppo della crittografia a 
chiave asimmetrica e, com'è facile intuire, alcuni dei nomi relativi a 
questi scritti sono stati oscurati.
John Young, autore della richiesta, ha successivamente inviato un 
appello per ricevere altre informazioni in merito:
