The following seems like the right URL:
The Possibility of Non-Secret Encryption by J H Ellis (1970)
<http://www.cesg.gov.uk/site/publications/media/possnse.pdf>
Fed with "Non-Secret Encryption" the search engine on the site gave 4
other (later) papers. Unfortunately, all are retyped, with added
typos.
In particular X to the power N appears as X N.
