Re: Auto-forward: Re: Network Layer Encryption History and Prior Art
I was the last project leader for IPLI and I still have one in my office.
(Kind of booring without a mate - or a pair of KG-84s !)
Many of the IPLI reports were unclassified FOUO and delivered to (D)ARPA.
Would any of these constitute "public" documents for the purposes of
establishing prior art ? If so, then perhaps DARPA would consent
to release some or all ?
