Listing the Fab Four who were AES finalists with Rijndael, I wrote: >Serpent is public domain, now under the GNU PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL), although >Serpent website warns that "some comments in the code still say otherwise." <>http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/serpent.html> I should have been more careful. Serpent, per se, has been given over to the public domain. What has been released under the more restrictive GPL terms are the optimized Serpent implementations -- by a variety of talented folk, in a variety of useful languages -- which were in the AES submission package. They are now available from the Serpent website at: <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/serpent.html>. As the website puts it: "Serpent is now completely in the public domain, and we impose no restrictions on its use. This was announced on the 21st August at the First AES Candidate Conference. The optimised implementations in the submission package are now under the GNU PUBLIC LICENSE (GPL), although some comments in the code still say otherwise. You are welcome to use Serpent for any application. If you do use it, we would appreciate it if you would let us know!" Sorry if I confused anyone. _Vin

CDR: fingerprinting homeless

Looking forward to chip-implants in homeless people... California county plans to fingerprint homeless October 10, 2000 Web posted at: 9:32 AM EDT (1332 GMT) RIVERSIDE, California (AP) -- County officials are planning a voluntary fingerprint program for the homeless as part of an effort they say will provide better services. "This is strictly for the purpose of identifying an individual so we can track their services more effectively and better plan for their needs," Kevin Gaines, spokesman for the Riverside Countys Department of Public Social Services, said Monday. But some of the homeless and their advocates say the move is too intrusive. "Im not hiding anything but I think its just getting into my business a little bit," Gary Cervantes said. "It feels a little bit like they are tagging an animal." Attorney Dan Tokaji of the American Civil Liberties Union said homeless people would be intimidated into taking part in the program. "When you have someone in position of power requesting information from a needy person, there is inherent coercion," he said. Officials say fingerprinting will provide a more reliable count of the homeless and access to more federal grants to help them. They are planning to visit shelters beginning next month. Some transients see the benefits of the program. Angel Monroy recalled that doctors had troubled identifying him after he lapsed into a coma in 1992. "When you live on the streets anything could happen where you would need to be identified," he said.

New Penalties for Upskirt A videocamera can now be counted as a criminal tool Video Peeping Ohio Hikes Jail Time and Fine for High-Tech Toms Oct. 10, 2000 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Gina Bell was waiting for a carnival ride at a church festival with her baby daughter when she became spooked by the man behind her. When she shifted in line, he would move with her. "As I crouched down to put the baby in my stroller, I saw a video camera sticking out of his bag, taping up my dress," the 34-year-old former kindergarten teacher recalled Monday. "It rocked my whole sense of security." Ban secret taping in public Beginning today, Ohio law increases the penalties for secretly taking pictures up a womans skirt or down her shirt, called "upskirting" and "downblousing." Most states have laws that prohibit taking pictures of people in private places such as dressing rooms or restrooms, but only Ohio and California specifically ban the practice of secretly filming someone under their clothing in public places for sexual gratification, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Similar legislation is pending in New York. Web sites promote voyeurism The Internet has made the practice more common, with Web sites posting images, buying pictures from high-tech Peeping Toms and telling users where to buy hidden cameras, the laws supporters say. "These Web sites basically promote the practice and encourage people to go out and try to do this to as many women as possible -- kind of like a mission impossible challenge," said state Rep. Ed Jerse, who sponsored the Ohio legislation after hearing Bells story. The man who photographed Bell, David Bartolucci, pleaded no contest to voyeurism and possession of criminal tools and served 10 days in jail. He was also ordered to spend 30 days in home detention, serve 200 hours of community service and enroll in a therapy program. Suspect photographed himself Bartolucci had secretly photographed 13 women that day and had unknowingly filmed his own face, which police used to identify him, police said. Bartoluccis attorney, John Luskin, says his client was under the influence of alcohol. California lawmakers banned upskirting and downblousing after police discovered hidden cameras had filmed women at Disneyland, the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival and an Orange County, Calif., beach. Many of those images were transmitted on the Internet, but police couldnt file charges against the photographers because there was no specific law against the activity. The new Ohio law increases penalties to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, from the current 30 days and $500 fine. California, where the law went into effect Jan. 1, has the same punishment.

CDR: Burglar Politics, Tempesting PC's that watch TV and DVD regions

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/1/13863.html <SNIP> And, just in case you were wondering how on earth they'll know you're watching the news online, Mr Hardwell adds, "Finally our detection equipment is capable of picking up television reception via computer. And no, the BBC do not look at IP addresses for licence fee evasion." It's my understanding that TV detector vans work by picking up the radiation emitted by cathode ray tube TVs - which should mean that, if you're rich enough to run an LCD monitor they'll never know you're a secret Paxman admirer. <SNIP> http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/1/13875.html Burglar.com is illegal, coppers claim By: Lucy Sherriff Posted: 10/10/2000 at 13:19 GMT A web site that connects the victims of a burglary with the people who have their property is illegal, according to the police. Theburglar.com bills itself as a "link to the underground". There are three ways to register. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/1/13834.html <SNIP> Time Warner's home video division has changed DVD's region coding scheme to make it even harder to play movies sold in one territory in another. Other DVD distributors are expected to follow suit. Sony subsidiary Columbia Tristar has already agreed to do so. According to a leaked internal Warner Home Video document posted on Web site DVD Debate, the company began shipping discs with an "enhanced" region code at the start of this month. <SNIP> -- ----------------------Kaos-Keraunos-Kybernetos--------------------------- + ^ + :Surveillance cameras|Passwords are like underwear.
