Bell Arguments
by John Young 29 Nov '01

Opening and closing arguments in the Bell trial: http://cryptome.org/usa-v-jdb-op.htm (Opening) http://cryptome.org/usa-v-jdb-cl.htm (Closing) Interesting invocation of Cypherpunks by Bell's attorney, not the prosecutor, in opening arguments. Quotes Eric Hughes and Tim May. "Scary" AP stars. Reminds of John Belushi's fearsomeness to dysfunctional authorities who see themselves in his mirror.

As usual the ditto head doesn't seem to grasp that 'magnitude' isn't the issue, it's that it happens at all. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A25203-2001Nov27.html -- -- ____________________________________________________________________ Day by day the Penguins are making me lose my mind.

work @ home

I sent in the order form with a money order to start working at home for the $3.00 per envelope stuffing. I have not recieved anything yet, and its been a few weeks. I'm am assuming that this whole thing is a fraud which I was ready for, but that sucks. Can you help me out? I sent it to the Better Solutions address on this website. I'm not sure if you are the person I need to write to, but your e-mail address is on here, so I am going to write you. Please get back to me. Thank you. Leslie.

Hey, we just sent billionaire slumlord George Argyros to Spain (suck enough republican dick and you too can have this job..), maybe *he'll* tell em how its done. Or maybe we'll have to occupy Spain, too. >Sending them to a place where they may be tried >by a secret tribunal is also a regarded as a problem What part of "Infinite Justice" did you not think was bullshit?

Re: pipenet padding
by William Hitzke 29 Nov '01

that's a *great* summary. the attack summary leaves me thinking, tho: if you take the pipenet model (w/ end-to-end padding replaced by link padding), and layer on top of that a virtual circuit that is a composite of multiple routes through the pipenet, than are you not resistant to traffic analysis w/o being burdened by the risk of DoS? rather than having a circuit being a single route that can be easily analyzed, you utilize multiple routes, and distribute traffic over those routes both in a fashion meant to guard against passive latency attacks and route tracing, but also capable (given cooperation between the end nodes) of responding to active attacks on any sub-set of the routes? this seems similar to the mix-net mentioned on page 4, but i haven't read much on those. could somebody point to some material? hmmmm, also, w/ multiple channels, you have more room to randomly tear-down channels (rather than all at once). if incoming traffic can be queued at the end node (which i'm trying to do, so that even if somebody has lost all channels, they have a small period of time to reconnect to the end node and revive a session), you can reduce the benefit of manipulating latancy within some fixed local time period (at least for semi-realtime applications like http). iow, how long is an attacker willing to wait for his manipulations to manifest? it buys time for the network to react. i guess the basic idea i have is to move away from a static, synchronous network, and to utilize synchrnous routes w/ an intelligent asynchronous layer on top. thanx, Bill On Wed, Nov 28, 2001 at 04:49:53PM -0800, Anton Stiglic wrote: > You might be interested in this paper: > > http://crypto.cs.mcgill.ca/~stiglic/Papers/traffic.pdf > > In case you have not seen it... > > --Anton
