That's more > money per unit, however. Perhaps this idea would work on low volume remailers. An iButton could be loaded with an applet to perform public key crypto, and thus, a sort of mixmaster remailer could be constructed. But, the memory constraints on iButtons (I believe 134K is the max currently available) and their slow speed may even rule this out for a low-volume remailer. And, as Bill mentioned, latency and reordering would not be feasible. Without those features, the amount of anonymity is reduced. > I'm envisioning that the code would announce itself to some set of > web servers so that people can know where to find a few of these > transient remailers when they wanted to send some messages. Problems occur if the locations of these tini remailers are spread through such means. If the addresses are posted to a web site, tracking down such remailers would be simple, quick, and as thorough as the list of the remailers. > Also, due to the small memory footprint, it doesn't look > like a lot of messages can be stored locally, so there's > not a lot of room for latency and message re-ordering. Use of these tini remailers should really only be done in a remailer-chained message. Of course, the chain would need to include one or more non-tini remailers. This way, even if all tini remailers are monitored, you still have a remailer that provides some level of obfuscation through latency and reordering. But, this disposable remailer idea is solid. As a quick example scheme, if there were some sort of remailer protocol that functioned like routing protocols, as disposable remailers came online, they could announce themselves to other remailers. Pseudorandom hopping from one disposable remailer to another could occur in a remailer-chained message, instead of manually encrypting a message for a chain of remailers. The sender could encrypt the message for the gateway and final non-disposable remailers and then specify a hop count. The first non-disposable remailer would decrypt one layer of encryption, decrement the hop count, pick pseudorandomly a disposable remailer to pass this message to, encrypt this message and pass it on. When the hop count hits one, the message is just forwarded to the final non-disposable remailer in the chain, which would then decrypt the final layer of encryption and passes it on to the recipient. Of course, this example is just something I pulled out of my ass...read up on more advance schemes if interested. The dynamic property of such a scheme would be ideal for disposable remailers. As they are discovered and removed, the system would compensate. With cheap cost, simple set up, and ease of hiding, disposable remailers could be brought online faster than they are taken down. And, if placed anonymously, there will no one to be held responsible for the devices. So, are small devices like tini's the ideal form of the future remailer? Is some sort of distributed, dynamic remailer scheme based on small devices the way to go? The stable remailer running on a box is subject to all sorts of legal issues, isp problems, etc. These covert, anonymous remailers have a great deal more freedom. On a side note, what other throw-away internet-ready devices would be of interest? Motion detectors? Access control devices? Door locks? -andrew

Well, they are original. I do not recall any other instance when a government said "we will not snoop." --- "Former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic has no longer any influence on the police and army force in the country, and all phone taps, both fixed and mobile in Serbia have stopped, stated Zoran Djindjic, one of the leaders of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS), in an interview for B2-92." "Djindjic also said that the first step toward change is that all telephone tapping has been stopped in Serbia."

CDR: Government again enters Somalia
by James A.. Donald 07 Oct '00

07 Oct '00

Some time ago, the president of Somalia returned from his exile to Mogadishu, the former capital of Somalia, which was going to be the new capital of Somalia. Lots of people gave lots of speeches about how popular and successful the new government was, and CNN gave a glowing account of how pleased the Somalis were to have a government again. Approximately twenty four hours later, the new government did a moonlight flit out of Somalia back into exile. Recently the new government announced it was returning from its exile to Baidoa, which is to be the new government of Somalia. Lots of notables gave lots of speeches about how popular and successful the new government was, and CNN gave a glowing account of how pleased the Somalis were to have a government again. Unfortunately neither the president or any senior members of the new government were able to make it Baidoa in time for the press conference.
