The security-conscious way to send something to a subprocess is to use a pipe. Looking at environment variables requires just a single extra flag to ps(1). If PGP can't be set up to use a pipe to get the passphrase, it would be best to modify PGP to clear its arguments when it's done getting a copy of them. -- Scott Northrop <skyhawk(a)cpac.washington.edu> (206)784-2083 ObVirus: The demand for obedience is inherently evil.

Alpha testers wanted: GNU Emacs, RMAIL, and PGP
by jpp＠markv.com 27 Jul '93

27 Jul '93

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I have just finished writing a fancy new package for GNU Emacs (pgpmail). It requires PGP, RMAIL, and sendmail. You must be able to run a program from within Emacs. Pgpmail automaticaly checks message signatures and decrypts messages, it helps automate signing outgoing messages (and strips the signatures a bit too!). Pgpmail also helps fix a known security hole -- it doesn't send you passphrase on the command line, but uses the environment instead. If you would like to be an early alpha tester for my software, *and* feel you would provide lots of testing please reply to me directly. j' - -- O I am Jay Prime Positive jpp(a)markv.com 1250 bit key fingerprint = B8 95 E0 AF 9A A2 CD A5 89 C9 F0 FE B4 3A 2C 3F 524 bit key fingerprint = 8A 7C B9 F2 D5 46 4D ED 66 23 F1 71 DE FF 51 48 Public keys by `finger jpp(a)markv.com' or mail to pgp-public-keys(a)pgp.mit.edu Your feedback is welcome, directly or via symbol JPP on hex(a)sea.east.sun.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQBXAgUBLFTK8NC3U5sdKpFdAQG9bwIJAcsJgRnxpKRPcC9EM1qIsXNvFsK9AiRQ g9IqbsWHi2OIyWvsGrf7YEkZkNojOszgkY3AFlddCZvDueapGMmJHuTx -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

As long as we're in our graphic design stage, I'm not much into ideographic clothing, but I wouldn't mind as temporary tattoo for my forehead that said CRYPTOGRAPHY USER All due credit to Neal Stephenson for _Snow Crash_ fame. Eric

T-shirts are for wimps...
by Peter Wayner 27 Jul '93

27 Jul '93

I say lets get tattoos. If you _really_ are committed than you won't have any problems with this. Seriously, it is possible to get fake tattoos printed up with your design. I suggest either the classic heart with the word "Freedom" or "Privacy" replacing "Mom". They should last several days and they could be cheap enough to give out for grins. -Peter Wayner

Gold on Black sounds very stylish, but if it costs no more, why not go for some sort of symbolic coat or arms or logo, along with the words? I like the sword-and-pen idea, myself, although a big-brotherish eye/telescreen with a red slash through it grabs me, too. I'm definitely interested in the idea of t-shirts, in general. There is no unity without a t-shirt and/or a coffee mug, IMHO. Tom DeBoni deboni(a)llnl.gov
