Oinking one's headlights to signify the presense of a cop in waiting is a well established convention unlikely to be replaced by complicated technology. People who want to play with gizmos to avoid becoming revenue sources will buy radar detectors (unless they live in places like VA, where it is illegal to possess radar detection devices.) -MW-

Inter-("consumer")-node automatic communication of antisocial information over pirate protocols? I don't think so. Yet :-) I'm suggesting that end-user-configurable RF comp/comm devices are a quantum step in the development of "consumer" electronics in the us-vs.-pigs arms race. Or could be. Look dude, I'm just porting/downshifting the Rural Optical Signalling Protocol to a blog-like RF mesh network with a better horizon. You can ignore those noise bursts if you like :-) The main problem is >localisation - each district seem to be using different frequences.

Re: Cryptogram: Palladium Only for DRM

Could you say something about the sense in which Palladium achieves BORE ("break once run everywhere") resistance? It seems that although Palladium is supposed to be able to provide content security (among other things), a broken Palladium implementation would allow extracting the content from the "virtual vault" where it is kept sealed. In that case the now-decrypted content can indeed run everywhere. This seems to present an inconsistency between the claimed strength of the system and the description of its security behavior. This discrepancy may be why Palladium critics like Ross Anderson charge that Microsoft intends to implement "document revocation lists" which would let Palladium systems seek out and destroy illicitly shared documents and even programs. Some have claimed that Microsoft is talking out of both sides of its mouth, promising the content industry that it will be protected against BORE attacks, while assuring the security/privacy community that the system is limited in its capabilities. If you could clear up this discrepancy that would be helpful. Thanks... --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com

> Better than a radar detector for emissionless, but visible, cops. Over > the hill coverage. Issues of This will be banned under WIPO and copyright laws - you may enjoy cop's presence for yourself, but transmitting it is same as broadcasting a live show without permission - after all, the all information cops emit is "present or not", so you, in essence, steal 100% of their IP. Due to a number of various radio equipment that armed people use, and characteristic signatures, it's often more than enough to listen on several frequences and match the spectral fingerprint to detect their presence (car radio, personal radio, etc.) I think that some radar detectors have this built-in. The main problem is localisation - each district seem to be using different frequences.
