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
