In the chip world a tested netlist that can be turned into Si is "IP" in the sense that it is something a company can offer as a product. AES is no different from USB, bluetooth, IEEE-1384, SCSI, 802.11b, MPEG, PCI cores etc. Yes, actual work is involved in turning a public standard into Si. Yes, people actually pay to include this sort of "IP" in their ASICs along with CPUs, memory, I/O and whatever else they may need to fuel their cash flow. Various licenses may or may not be part of each piece of "IP" used in an ASIC. Each has to be addressed before the part is built or your lawyers can fight it out later in court. I'm more of a SW than a HW guy but this is pretty much the view I've gotten of the business. Mike

alt.anonymous.messages practice
by dmolnar 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

I just took a look at the first 10 messages I could pull down from alt.anonymous.messages using pgp2.6.2 . Eight were encrypted with symmetric encryption. One was encrypted with keyID 591B0E69. A last one identified itself as encrypted with public-key crypto, but in a format not otherwise intelligible to poor 2.6.2 . Now, keyID 591B0E69 isn't in the keyservers, of course, but it will be interesting to watch alt.anonymous.messages for the next few days and see if any other messages encrypted to that key should show up. Well, if I get around to writing the scripts to watch for it, which I probably won't. I don't suppose anyone's been gathering data like this in public? In particular, it'll be interesting to see if 591B0E69 is simply receiving an initial message (to set up a shared password for conventional encryption) -- or if it will receive many more messages. This is a good reason to use Adam Back's Stealth PGP. Although, as David Hopwood has pointed out, ordinary RSA may reveal information about the key used to encrypt, even if the headers are stripped out. There are fixes for that, of course, but not yet deployed AFAIK.

chip fabs gearing up for AES (fwd)

Ponder" <ponder(a)freenet.tlh.fl.us> To: cryptography(a)wasabisystems.com Subject: chip fabs gearing up for AES spotted this article at EE-Times: Encryption cores ramp for pervasive security By Patrick Mannion EE Times (08/09/01, 6:36 p.m. EST) MANHASSET, N.Y. while looking at another article (as noted in Slashdot) in the same issue about Rice Univ. undergrad Adam Stubblefield breaking WEP while interning at AT&T Labs. AES in the chips: http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20010809S0046 couple of quotes: With subtle distinctions, intellectual-property (IP) core vendors are readying implementations of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) security algorithm. The vendors, established and startup, are banking on applications from miniature wireless devices to massively parallel Web servers to support the rapid and pervasive deployment of encryption-enabled devices and systems. The plethora of available AES solutions "is not particularly surprising," said Duncan Kitchin, product architect in the wireless LAN operation at Intel Corp. (Hillsboro, Ore.). "After all, the whole point of choosing AES was that it was pretty efficient in software, and easily implementable in hardware," he said. "It's perfectly possible - it's just a matter of doing it." AES - which uses the Rijndael algorithm - was chosen by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to replace the highly popular but less-efficient data encryption standard (DES). It's the efficiency of AES and its stronger encryption overall that makes it attractive across a wide swath of applications. the other article - Adam Stubblefield breaks WEP: http://www.eetimes.com/story/OEG20010808S0042 --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com
