[crypto] 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:

"This is an appeal of a denial of access by Louis F. Giles, Director of 
Policy, dated February 13, 2007, for information deleted from documents 
provided and nine documents (163 pages) withheld in their entirety on 
the topic of non-secret encryption, better known as public key 
cryptography (PKC). The material provided by Mr. Giles has been 
published on the website Cryptome.org."

Saluti,
