The full title is:

> National Security Agency (NSA) paper: Fifty Years of Mathematical Cryptanalysis (1937-1987), 1988

For context [1][2]:

> Weirdly, this is the second time the NSA has declassified the document. John Young got a copy in 2019. This one has a few less redactions. And nothing that was provided in 2019 was redacted here.

Why did they bother releasing this document—and twice at that? It is so redacted as to be both worthless and an annoyance.
