NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION PETROLEUM AND PROJECT DIVISION TEL: +234-1-4702516,FAX: +234-1-4400023 P.M.B 2071, LAGOS - NIGERIA. 28TH JUNE, 2002 tonyokeke(a)jordanmail.com DEAR SIR This letter is not intended to cause any embarrassment in whatever form, rather is compelled to contact your esteemed self, following the knowledge of your high repute and trustworthiness. Firstly, I must solicit your confidentiality, this is by the virtue of its' nature as being utterly confidential and top secret though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the day. A bold step taken shall not be regretted I assure you. I am Mr. Tony Okeke and I head a seven man tender board in charge of contract awards and payment approvals, I came to know of you in search of a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business transaction which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to foreign account requiring maximum confidence. My colleagues and I are top officials of the NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION {NNPC}. OUR DUTIES INCLUDE VETTING, EVALUATION AND FORESEEING THE MAINTENANCE OF THE REFINERIES IN ALL THE DESIGNATED OIL PIPELINES. We are therefore soliciting for your assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said funds. Our country losses a lot of money everyday that is why the international community is very careful and warning their citizens to be careful but I tell you "A TRIAL WILL CONVINCE YOU". The source of the fund is as follows; during the last military regime here in Nigeria this committee awarded a contract of US$400million to a group of five construction companies on behalf of the NIGERIA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION for the construction of the oil pipelines in Kaduna, Port-Harcourt, Warri refineries. During this process my colleagues and I deliberately inflated the total contract sum to the tune US$428million with the intention of sharing the inflated sum of US$28. The government has since approved the sum of US$428 for us as the contract sum, but since the contract is only worth US$400million, the remaining US$28million is what we intend to transfer to reliable and safe offshore account, we are prohibited to operate foreign account in our names since we are still in government. Thus, making it impossible for us to acquire the money in our name right now, I have therefore been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to look for an oversea partner into whose account we can transfer the sum of US$28million. My colleagues and I have decided that if you/your company can be the beneficiary of this funds on our behalf, you or your company will retain 20% of the total sum US$28million while 75% will be for us the officials and remaining 5% will be used for offsetting all debts/expenses incurred during this transaction. We have decided that this transaction can only proceed under the following conditions: 1. That you treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality and conviction of your transparent honesty. 2. That upon the receipt of the funds you will release the funds as instructed by us after you have removed your share of 20%. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above telephone and fax numbers. I will bring you into the nomenclature of this transaction when I have heard from you. Your urgent response will be highly appreciated as we catching on the next payment schedule for the financial quarter. Please be assured that this transaction is 100% legal/risk free, only trust can make the reality of this transaction. Best Regards, MR. TONY OKEKE

RE: Ross's TCPA paper
by Scott Guthery 28 Jun '02

28 Jun '02

Privacy abuse is first and foremost the failure of a digital rights management system. A broken safe is not evidence that banks shouldn't use safes. It is only an argument that they shouldn't use the safe than was broken. I'm hard pressed to imagine what privacy without DRM looks like. Perhaps somebody can describe a non-DRM privacy management system. On the other hand, I easily can imagine how I'd use DRM technology to manage my privacy. Yes, it would be nice if we didn't need safes but until we don't, I'll use one. You can choose not to use DRM to manage your privacy but like stacking your money on your front porch, you don't get to grump if people take it. It's called contributory negligance, I believe. Cheers, Scott -----Original Message----- From: Ross Anderson To: Dan Geer Cc: cryptography(a)wasabisystems.com; cypherpunks(a)lne.com; Ross.Anderson(a)cl.cam.ac.uk; Ross.Anderson(a)cl.cam.ac.uk Sent: 6/25/02 11:56 AM Subject: Re: Ross's TCPA paper I don't believe that the choice is both privacy and TCPA, or neither. Essentially all privacy violations are abuses of authorised access by insiders. Your employer's medical insurance scheme insists on a waiver allowing them access to your records, which they then use for promotion decisions. The fizx is fundamentally legislative: that sort of behaviour is generally illegal in Europe, but tolerated in the USA. There may be symmetry when we consider the problem as theoretical computer scientists might, as an issue for abstract machines. This symmetry breaks rapidly when the applications are seen in context. As well as the legal aspects, there are also the economic aspects: most security systems promote the interests of the people who pay for them (surprise, surprise). So I do not agree with the argument that we must allow DRM in order to get privacy. Following that line brings us to a world in which we have DRM, but where the privacy abuses persist just as before. There is simply no realistic prospect of American health insurers or HMOs settling for one-time read-only access to your medical records, no matter how well that gets implemented in Palladium Ross --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com

Diffie-Hellman and MITM
by Marcel Popescu 27 Jun '02

27 Jun '02

Is there a defense against MITM for Diffie-Hellman? Is there another protocol with equivalent properties, with such a defense? (Secure communications between two parties, with no shared secret and no out-of-band abilities, on an insecure network.) Thanks, Mark
