This paper was later published in the CACM.  There is nothing in the
published article which indicates it was censored in any way.
The reference is:

     A Method for Obtaining digital Signatures and Public-Key Cryptosystems
     by R.L. Rivest, A. Shamir, and L. Adleman
     Communications of the ACM
     February 1978
     Volume 21, number 2
     pp 120-126
