The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) recently
declassified a
number of articles from their _Cryptologic Quarterly_ publication,
including a six-page review from 1985 of the UCSD p-System.
The report is available in PDF at
http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/cryptologic_quarterly/The_UCSD_p_Syst…
After reading it, I really have to wonder why it even needed
declassifying, that is, why it was classified at all. And, indeed, I
see "UNCLASSIFIED" on all pages but the last (which has no content, or
at least no obvious-to-me content), and it looks to me like part of the
scan, not a later add-on.
