Crypto can serve an important role in human rights activities - I support that, but I can't say that I support the ICC at this point. Sovereignty is an important concept for data/freedom/privacy havens, and "world government" seems to be adopting "unfair sovereign competition" rules. "UN" ICC FACT SHEET @ gopher://gopher.igc.apc.org/00/orgs/icc/undocs/faq_dpi.txt Can a citizen be prosecuted from a country that is not party to the agreement establishing the Court? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, provided the country where the alleged crimes occurred is a State Party or the UN Security Council refers the case to the Court. However, under the principle of complementarity, the Court will act only if the national court of the accused does not prosecute him or her. <snip> "Complementarity?" ~Aimee

Two Free Offers to MAKE MONEY
by Rock Solid 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

Hello Friend, Check these out. Here are 2 separate MONEYMAKING OFFERS that are COMPLETELY FREE. OFFER #1 You can get paid FIVE happy little U.S. dollars a day (plus referrals) for doing nothing except going on line once a day for 2 minutes and clicking a button. That's US $150.00 a month plus. It's FREE! There is absolutely no cost to sign up and no cost to maintain. And it's EASY! Two minutes after I downloaded the small program my account was credited with $5.00. I logged on again today and got another $5. The highest check paid out to anyone so far for one month is US $7,237.00. REFERRALS: If you want to make even more per month all you need to do is send this email to anyone you know who might like to make some pocket money. That's it - there are no products to sell - no follow ups to make - no meetings or conference calls - no quotas to meet. Here's an example of how the referrals work (Remember we're talking U.S. dollars) You on your own 2 Minutes a day: $5.00 x 30 days = $150.00 per month 1st Level Referral 2 Minutes a day: $1.00 x 30 days = $30.00 per person 2nd Level Referral 2 Minutes a day: $0.50 x 30 days = $15.00 per person 3rd Level Referral 2 Minutes a day: $0.25 x 30 days = $7.50 per person 4th Level Referral 2 Minutes a day: $0.10 x 30 days = $3.00 per person Example for a 4 level referral system: Suppose you have 3 people in your 1st level and suppose these 3 people only have a total of 6 people between all of them for your 2nd level and then suppose those 6 people only have a total of 9 people between them for your 3rd level and then suppose those 9 people only have a total of 12 people between them for your 4th level. Your earnings per day would be as follows: 1 x $5.00 + 3 x $1.00 + 6 x $0.50 + 9 x $0.25 +12 x $0.10 = $14.45 per day This totals up to $433.50 per month for every month with 30 days. However, if you introduce 4 people to this opportunity and for four levels your team has 4 people each the total per month could equal $1758.00 for being on line 2 minutes a day. (Remember - it's U.S. dollars!) You don't have to get referrals - you can just 'earn' your US $5 a day and leave it at that. How and why do they do it? It's all explained on their website at http://www.insultmedia.com/ -Click this URL or copy it and paste it into your address bar. TO SIGN UP FILL OUT THE BRIEF FORM USING MY REFERRAL ID IM60985 (They don't ask for credit card details - just your name, address and phone #). Then download the Program to somewhere you can easily find it. I made a shortcut on the desktop so I won't forget to click on daily. If you like it spread the word! (That way we'll both make a little money) You should 'copy and paste' my explanation - if you simply forward it on as is it'll have all those silly little > > things all through it. BUT do make sure you change my Referral ID to your Referral ID! (Sorry - you can't sign up granny, the dog and the kids unless they've all got their own computers - it will only allow one access per day per computer) Don't forget to enter my referral ID IM60985 when you fill out the form. All the Best, Rock Solid OFFER #2 The program explained below is a genuine Free Offer - it will never cost you anything, but you will make money - guaranteed. Take this simple test and I can prove I'm right! IF EVERYBODY THAT RECEIVES THIS LETTER JUST PARTICIPATES IN THIS PROGRAM FOR FREE it is guaranteed that you will make some money. No, I'm not going to make any wild amount claims, but your bank account will sure appreciate it! Never Send, Spend, Or Ask For Money and Still Make a Significant Amount (read on to see an example of just how much you could make). I know what you're thinking, "Yeah right. I've heard that before!". Well try this! It does not cost you one cent. As a matter of fact, you get paid $10.00 just for signing up (no strings attached). With a small amount of effort, you can make considerably more. How, you ask? Just follow the steps below. FIRST, the vehicle for our venture is Resource-A-Day.com. (DO NOT GO THERE YET, READ THIS FIRST.) Listed below are three email addresses & sign-up URLs. Sign-up at Resource-A-Day.com under the FIRST ID and you'll get $10 just for joining. (Simple so far. And by the way, each person is allowed two accounts, so if you are already a member, no problem.) SECOND, Send an email to the #3 person on the list and put in the subject line: "I signed up under #1". THIRD, Copy this letter, delete the email address & sign-up URL for the #1 person, move the other two up and insert your email address & sign-up URL at the bottom, in the #3 position. (Please be sure you type your email address & your new Resource-A-Day.com URL correctly.) NOW, send this letter to as many people as you can until you receive 3 emails saying "I signed up under #1". (That's it, 3 responses is all you need, not 6, or 10 or 20... just 3.) When your address gets to the #1 position, you will have 27 people signed up under you! Not bad, but ONLY the beginning. A short (very short) time later, each of those 27 people will have 27 people signed up under them, and so on. After the Fourth Level is completed you will be $17,000 richer. (See the calculations below.) Here is the list: 1. bayleyhelen(a)hotmail.com http://www.resource-a-day.com/members2/ecash/ 2. rmarks164(a)hotmail.com http://www.resource-a-day.com/members2/rmarks/ 3. RockSolid153(a)hotmail.com http://www.resource-a-day.com/members2/RockSolid/ Why not try it ... just for the heck of it. You have nothing to lose, and a LOT of money to gain. So go now to the URL listed under #1 and sign up to get started. (P.S. If you are a US Citizen, you can earn even more money from Resource-a-day with their 10-5-QA program.) Calculation of Earnings Your own sign up $10.00 First Level 27 x 0.40 = $10.80 Second Level 729 x 0.20 = $145.80 Third Level 19683 x 0.05 $984.15 Fourth Level 531441 x 0.03 = $15943.23 Total Potential Earnings $17093.98 Cost to you - Nothing but the 15 minutes to do this program. Remember, "Success is a series of planned events" All the Best, Rock Solid There is no need to request removal from my email list if you are not interested in either of these two opportunities because you will not receive any additional offers from me if these do not interest you. I obtained your email address because we both received the same email from a mutual friend or we both were sent another Internet opportunity or you sent me an opportunity through the Internet. I have looked at almost every opportunity available on the Internet but these two offered the biggest payout for the least amount of work with no cash outlay on my part. If you don't like either of these two opportunities I will have to assume you would not be interested in any opportunity to make money on the Internet so I will never bother you again, rest assured. Have a great day!! _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

[ANNOUNCE] Release of OpenSSL 0.9.6a
by Richard Levitte 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

OpenSSL version 0.9.6a released =============================== OpenSSL - The Open Source toolkit for SSL/TLS http://www.openssl.org/ The OpenSSL project team is pleased to announce the release of version 0.9.6a of our open source toolkit for SSL/TLS. This new OpenSSL version is mostly a bugfix release and incorporates at least 55 changes to the toolkit (for a complete list see http://www.openssl.org/source/exp/CHANGES) The most significant changes are: o Security fix: change behavior of OpenSSL to avoid using environment variables when running as root. o Security fix: check the result of RSA-CRT to reduce the possibility of deducing the private key from an incorrectly calculated signature. o Security fix: prevent Bleichenbacher's DSA attack. o Security fix: Zero the premaster secret after deriving the master secret in DH ciphersuites. o Reimplement SSL_peek(), which had various problems. o Compatibility fix: the function des_encrypt() renamed to des_encrypt1() to avoid clashes with some Unixen libc. o Bug fixes for Win32, HP/UX and Irix. o Bug fixes in BIGNUM, SSL, PKCS#7, PKCS#12, X.509, CONF and memory checking routines. o Bug fixes for RSA operations in threaded enviroments. o Bug fixes in misc. openssl applications. o Remove a few potential memory leaks. o Add tighter checks of BIGNUM routines. o Shared library support has been reworked for generality. o More documentation. o New function BN_rand_range(). o Add "-rand" option to openssl s_client and s_server. We consider OpenSSL 0.9.6a to be the best version of OpenSSL available and we strongly recommend that users of older versions, especially of old SSLeay versions, upgrade as soon as possible. OpenSSL 0.9.6a is available for download via HTTP and FTP from the following master locations (you can find the various FTP mirrors under http://www.openssl.org/source/mirror.html) o http://www.openssl.org/source/ o ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/ [1] OpenSSL comes in the form of two distributions this time as well. The reasons for this is that we want to deploy the external crypto device support but don't want to have it part of the "normal" distribution just yet. The distribution containing the external crypto device support is popularly called "engine", and is considered experimental. It's been fairly well tested on Unix and flavors thereof. If run on a system with no external crypto device, it will work just like the "normal" distribution. The distribution file names are: o openssl-0.9.6a.tar.gz [normal] o openssl-engine-0.9.6a.tar.gz [engine] Yours, The OpenSSL Project Team... Mark J. Cox Richard Levitte Andy Polyakov Ralf S.

AR Politics
by John Young 08 Apr '01

08 Apr '01

(Cyberpass is down.) Jim testified for himself Friday afternoon, presenting as good a narrative as Jeff's. He's due to continue on Monday. Both Jim and Jeff made little use of exhibits, and an observer might think their testimony was scripted by a single writer: both had been well-rehearsed in acting style and voice direction to perform a single story with two Rashomons of the same events, both equally compelling or unbelievable depending on what a viewer wanted to see. The main difference is that Jeff has the backing of a bloated, self-serving justice system: the courthouse, the judge, the agents of several TLAs, guards, marshals, SEATAC, and much more maw needing cases -- Tacoma court is a wasteland of little used overspending. Jim has a roll of the dice with the jurors, all of whom are dressed and look more like Jim than the mani-uniformed and dark-suited officials and rats. Jim has no witnesses: Judge Jack denied all requests, compared to a couple of dozen for the government. Most of Jim's request for discovery have been denied, while the gov gets all it asks for. At the end of Friday Judge Jack denied Jim's request for access to his own discovery notes for use during his testimony. Jim has so far demonstrated that he is several grades of intelligence above that of his official tormentors. And far less prejudicial. So what if the show is scripted that way, that the hero is doomed to be condemned by the king's police, for crowd-pleasing anti-revolutionary politics. And it's blood-quickening incendiary. A local says the news media are staying away from the trial in fear of subpoena -- for the trial, for the grand jury cooking up iA victims.
