And we’re talking...Q&A with Stephen Budiansky<br /><br /><br />And we’re talking about information that is as much as 70 years old, involving for example Soviet rotor cipher machines from 1947. You can buy a Soviet “Fialka” machine on the collectors’ market these days, but NSA still refuses to acknowledge that such a thing even exists, much less anything about its cryptanalysis.<br /><br />Es kann keine Fialka sein, diese wurde anfang der 1960 in Serie produziert.<br />Ab 1967 in der NVA eingesetzt.

I don’t understand why they keep reviewing documents from the 1940’s. It’s a waste of their resources. That material should be released without review.
