OK, I've manually regenerated Section II. C., "KEA Specification" -- pp. 9-12
ofNSA's "SKIPJACK and KEA Algorithm Specifications", version 2.0.
All the files are in http://www.cs.umass.edu/~lmccarth/crypto/KEA/
The regenerated version is available as
PostScript: http://www.cs.umass.edu/~lmccarth/crypto/KEA/KEA-spec.ps
LaTeX2e: http://www.cs.umass.edu/~lmccarth/crypto/KEA/KEA-spec.tex
DVI: http://www.cs.umass.edu/~lmccarth/crypto/KEA/KEA-spec.dvi
The aforementioned directory also contains the xfig files (*.fig) and their
exported Encapsulated PostScript versions (*.eps) used to reproduce the
diagrams on pp.11-12.
I produced this by retyping/redrawing my best human reading of a PostScript
export of the PDF file on the NIST web page. Please let me know if you think
you spot inconsistencies with the original document!
Feel free to incorporate this stuff into any superset regeneration of the NSA
document. I'd appreciate it if you kept my name in whatever acknowledgment
footnote lists the folks who did the regeneration. (It'd be nice to hear about
the
bigger project, too!)
