NSA Cryptography References?

tqft asks: "As an amateur crypto freak I am interested in the NSA. I have been following them on and off for years. Having read 'Body of Secrets' by James Bamford while I got a good feel for some of the history particularly ELINT and political maneuverings, I am interested in finding a more thorough book, article(s), links on their cypto work. Anyone know of good references on their crypto work? Yes I know they don't publish per se, but the references to what has been published are out there somewhere."

Interestingly enough, with the dept. having one of the highest geeks-per-square-meter counts in government, and with many geeks being avid slashdot readers, "they" should really be "we"!

There will be hundereds of slashdotters in the organisation - not for any dark and shadowy reason, not to spy on Slashdot... but just because they like 'Stuff that Matters'.
