Dave, Thanks for the details about the hobby listening. I looked through the bill quickly again, and couldn't find the prohibitions you describe. The bill as passed by the House is here, with the Senate version near- identical: http://www.house.gov/rules/homeland.pdf Got a page number? -Declan

17 Cypherpunks subscribers on watch list, Project Lookout
by Tim May 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

A company I am involved with has been on the distribution list for the FBI's Project Lookout watch list, the list being shared with banks, electronics companies, consulting firms, transportation companies, and 1100 other firms. Cross-indexing with the CP subscriber list, I find 17 names on both lists. We must be vigilant! Civil rights are only for innocents, not guilty persons. --Tim May -- Timothy C.

the wrong poem

The saddest thing here is that this gets reported without any comment. Snuffing journalists seems far more cost effective than offing pigs. http://www.startribune.com/stories/1576/3443476.html .. Baker discounted claims by federal authorities that Maali had financially supported terrorist groups when he made donations to Palestinian charities, and that an essay and poems he had written showed sympathy for suicide bombers in Israel. ..

[ANNOUNCE] OpenSSL 0.9.7 beta 4 released
by Richard Levitte - VMS Whacker 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

The fourth beta release of OpenSSL 0.9.7 is now available from the OpenSSL FTP site <URL: ftp://ftp.openssl.org/source/>. This beta contains numerous fixes (among others, security-related ones) since beta 3, which explains the long time that has passed between the two. This is NOT a final beta. Beta 5, which is planned to be the final one, will be released in two weeks if everything works well. The final release of OpenSSL 0.9.7 is scheduled for Tuesday 2002-12-10. To make sure that it will work correctly, please test beta 4 thoroughly, for example with your favorite piece of software, and please report back to us! Also, please test on as many platforms as you have available and you have time for, especially on less common platforms. If you're interested in helping further, please join the openssl-dev(a)openssl.org list, where test requests on specific development snapshots will be announced. Changes between 0.9.7 beta 3 and 0.9.7 beta 4 include: o Support for new platforms: Windows CE, Tandem OSS, A/UX, AIX 64-bit o Extended support for some platforms: VxWorks o Enhanced support for shared libraries. o Support for pkg-config. o Lots of new manuals. o A few new engines added in the demos area. The full set of changes between 0.9.6{x} and 0.9.7 beta 4 include: o New library section OCSP. o Complete rewrite of ASN1 code. o CRL checking in verify code and openssl utility. o Extension copying in 'ca' utility. o Flexible display options in 'ca' utility. o Provisional support for international characters with UTF8. o Support for external crypto devices ('engine') is no longer a separate distribution. o New elliptic curve library section. o New AES (Rijndael) library section. o Support for new platforms: Windows CE, Tandem OSS, A/UX, AIX 64-bit o Extended support for some platforms: VxWorks o Enhanced support for shared libraries. o Support for pkg-config. o Lots of new manuals. o Change DES API to clean up the namespace (some applications link also against libdes providing similar functions having the same name). Provide macros for backward compatibility (will be removed in the future). o Unify handling of cryptographic algorithms (software and engine) to be available via EVP routines for asymmetric and symmetric ciphers. o NCONF: new configuration handling routines. o Change API to use more 'const' modifiers to improve error checking and help optimizers. o Finally remove references to RSAref. o Reworked parts of the BIGNUM code. o Support for new engines: Broadcom ubsec, Accelerated Encryption Processing, IBM 4758. o A few new engines added in the demos area. o Extended and corrected OID (object identifier) table. o PRNG: query at more locations for a random device, automatic query for EGD style random sources at several locations. o SSL/TLS: allow optional cipher choice according to server's preference. o SSL/TLS: allow server to explicitly set new session ids. o SSL/TLS: support Kerberos cipher suites (RFC2712). o SSL/TLS: allow more precise control of renegotiations and sessions. o SSL/TLS: add callback to retrieve SSL/TLS messages. o SSL/TLS: support AES cipher suites (RFC3268). The distribution file name is: o openssl-0.9.7-beta4.tar.gz MD5 checksum: 43cf89b428fbdd7873b5aae2680cd324 The checksum was calculated using the following commands: openssl md5 < openssl-0.9.7-beta4.tar.gz -- Richard Levitte levitte(a)openssl.org OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org/~levitte/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com
