That document is useless unless the opposing side has an idea of what's in it. This may be a way to release it to ONLY the US Gov... very interesting.

The US Mil
DID NOT create the AES encryption. AES is a standard that the US gov chose, and they chose the best encryption algorithm that was submitted to them for testing.
"In cryptography, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric-key encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government. The standard comprises three block ciphers, AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256, adopted from a larger collection originally published as Rijndael.
The Rijndael cipher was developed by two Belgian cryptographers, Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, and submitted by them to the AES selection process. Rijndael (pronounced "Rhine dall") is a wordplay with the names of the two inventors.[4][5]"
