CDR: HST on needing killing
by Anonymous 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

Well, we talked for a while, and by that time Hoppe knew it was a joke. I said, "Have times changed? Ive threatened to drag people around Washington by their nuts behind Oldsmobiles at a hundred miles an hour. Ive advocated the slaughter of all politicians. What are the guidelines now?" He had a pretty good sense of humor. He said, "Well, you cant say that he should be strung up. If you say that to people, WHAP! Ten years. You can say he should be tarred and feathered." And I said, "Wait a minute. I dont grasp it. Whats the difference?" And Hoppe says, "I dont know. Thats the way it is. Dont go out any more and threaten to string George Bush up or stomp him to death." Q: Now, to what level of public figure does this extend? Take somebody I really hate, like Meese. Meese is not an elected official. Can I say that somebody should slice Meese open and wrap his intestines around a phone booth? A: No, you probably cant. He should be flogged -- just not to death. Q: What if we said Meese should be fucked by an elk? A: Thats apparantly harmless as hell. I believe that Ed Meese -- being a person without any honor, a fat bastard, really a congenital cheap pig in the style of and on the level of Richard Nixon -- should be locked in a large concrete basement with an elk. And the elk should be ram-fed full of acid before hes put in there. http://www.web-presence.com/mac/elk.html

CDR: NERDS paper published
by Iván Arce 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

For those interested, CORE SDI has published the paper on NERDS (Non-Euclidean Ring Data Scrambler) a new public-key cryptosystem that was presented by two of the authors (Emiliano Kargieman and Ariel Waissbein) at the Crypto 2000 Rump Sessions It can be downloaded in PDF format from: http://www.core-sdi.com/papers/nerds.pdf The Abstract follows: "In this paper we introduce the Non-Euclidean Ring Data Scrambler public-key cryptosystem, NERDS. This cryptosystem consists of efficient liner algebra procedures and its security relies on different problems in Algebraic Number Theory over orders of number fields, such as the non-existence of division algorithms (nor efficient factorization algorithms) over non-euclidean domains" -ivan --- "Understanding. A cerebral secretion that enables one having it to know a house from a horse by the roof on the house, Its nature and laws have been exhaustively expounded by Locke, who rode a house, and Kant, who lived in a horse." - Ambrose Bierce ==================[ CORE Seguridad de la Informacion S.A. ]========= Iván Arce Presidente PGP Fingerprint: C7A8 ED85 8D7B 9ADC 6836 B25D 207B E78E 2AD1 F65A email : iarce(a)core-sdi.com http://www.core-sdi.com Florida 141 2do cuerpo Piso 7 C1005AAG Buenos Aires, Argentina.

I am looking for a surplus radome. The minimum diameter is 20 meters, but the bigger, the better. The disassembled radome will need to fit into standard ISO dry cargo containers. Alternatively, I am looking for manufacturers of new radomes. Any pointers are appreciated. Feel free to forward this inquiry to more appropriate fora that you might be aware of.

CDR: Cypherus, new encryption suite
by brflgnk＠cotse.com 21 Nov '00

21 Nov '00

I saw in one of the tech email newsrags that F. Lee Bailey was at Comdex promoting a package called Cypherus. Their website, http://www.apmsafe.com/, is a little light on details. It only mentions that Cypherus uses Blowfish with up to 448-bit keys. There's some blather about a "Key Manager" and self-decrypting envelopes, but nothing about asymetrical crypto. No evaluation version that I could find. They claim they'll be shipping in Dec. Anyone heard anything at all about Cypherus?

Also Sprach sunder: > > > 2. If you protect the cable as well, they can use a keyboard capture > program, or they can tempest detect your keystrokes. Tempest works not on just the keyboard but the entire machine. Monitor, system unit, cables, and keyboard all give off tempest emissions. The usual way this is handled is to have the room the system(s) are in shielded, and or completely underground, or both. The Zenith "tempest" 286 PC had 72 screws and a very solid steel CPU casing, and it's cables were completely unshielded. Your tax dollars at work.
