Washington (CNN) -- The Pentagon is bracing for the release of more secrets by the whistleblower website WikiLeaks, a Pentagon official said Tuesday, as the Defense Department drafts a new plan to securely distribute and protect military and other information.

Pentagon spokesman Col. Dave Lapan said WikiLeaks has more Defense Department material beyond what site founder Julian Assange has admitted publicly to possessing.

"We believe that WikiLeaks has in its possession additional documents that may be released in the future," Lapan told reporters at a briefing. "They still have the 15,000 documents from Afghanistan. They still have a video from Afghanistan. Those are things they have talked about publicly."

"And we have reason to believe they have other documents as well," he added, without elaborating.

Currently, WikiLeaks has a large encrypted "insurance" file on its site, in addition to the documents it already released. The mysterious file has fueled much speculation about its contents. One theory is that it contains the entire WikiLeaks stash of unreleased documents that would be shared only if the government takes action against WikiLeaks or Assange. WikiLeaks itself has not commented on what is in the file.
