I don't know which 2012 paper you refer to.

If you expect to find anything cryptographic about the 2003 and 2010 
papers (other than the word cryptographic in their titles) you will be 
disappointed.

Nor is there any trace of cryptoanarchy.

They do use finite fields, as do some cryptographic methods; but finite 
fields are not necessarily cryptographic, and in this case there is 
nothing cryptographic about them.

(also I think they are bollocks, and more reminiscent of Archimedes 
Plutonium than any kind of "proper" science, but YMMV)
