[Cryptography] Three kinds of hash: Two are still under ITAR.

[Phillip Hallam-Baker]

While doing some research on the history of hashing for a client I
discovered that it is described in the very first edition of the ACM
journal and the paper is a translation of a Russian paper.

One of the many problems with the ITAR mindset is the assumption that all
real ideas are invented inside the US by white men wearing white lab coats
and that the rest of the undeserving world is stealing them.

Anyone with any grasp of history recognizes that the industrial scale
industrial espionage practiced by China on the industrial powers is merely
DIY reparations for the 19th century and the first half of the 20th.
