IETF had it online publically available until the 3. of September 2008. I fetched this document by then, and uploaded it to several free file hosters: http://www.filefactory.com/file/b2b8488/n/1619-2007-NIST-Submission.pdf http://ul.to/uzyryq http://speedshare.org/download.php?id=EBD56BF911 http://www.mediafire.com/?asf5nocdx75svsa http://rapidshare.com/files/409054345/1619-2007-NIST-Submission.pdf http://collectr.in/?d=16631C421 Be aware though that it's prohibited to copy and/or redistribute this document.
