Previously unreleased bibliographies and indexes of National Security Agency publications

>>> This page contains indexes of four periodicals published by the National Security Agency, plus a listing of publications from the NSA's Center for Cryptologic History. These indexes haven't been publicly released until now, and many of the Cryptologic History publications weren't previously known to the public. Researcher Michael Ravnitzky has discovered a huge cache of information about the NSA, intelligence, and cryptography. Any of the articles or publications listed in the files below can be requested through a Freedom of Information Act request to the NSA. For a sample request letter, see the bottom of this page. |
