Crypto Policy Paper
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We offer a paper distributed at the recent NYC crypto forum, "Private Groups and Public Policy: Cryptography and the National Research Council," by Kenneth Dam, professor of law at the University of Chicago, a panelist at the forum, and chair of the NRC panel which produced the report "Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society," May, 1996. http://jya.com/damrole.htm (63K) Professor Dam recounts the impact of the NRC report on the Administration's encryption policy as an example of how private groups help shape public policy.

CDR & SSZ
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, I am in the process of expanding my business. While this will not effect the stability of the Cypherpunks Distributed Remailer, in fact we hope to make it more stable, it will mean some additional resources being available in the near future. I unfortunately can't say more on this now. However, I can say that 'CyberTects' will most likely cease to exist in a matter of days. It will be subsumed in the creation of a newer and larger business entity (we are currently fighting over the name). This new entity will be taking on the SSZ network & its user base. I will still be directly responsible for the operation and customer satisfaction of SSZ users. There will be more announcements in the near future. However, if you have specific questions (no answer promised) please feel free to send them to me. Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

The majority of the time the system is not heavily using the ISDN nor are many users logged in. However, two of my users transmit large blocks of data (one is video and the other is a web-spider) w/o warning and make a significant impact. We also tend to have very spikey web access.

ANNOUNCE:- RSAEuro Version 1.04 (Internet) and 1.10 (Commercial)
by rsaeuro＠repertech.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

ANNOUNCE:- RSAEuro Version 1.04 (Internet) and 1.10 (Commercial) ================================================================ What is RSAEuro? ---------------- RSAEuro is a cryptographic toolkit providing various functions for the use of digital signatures, data encryption and supporting areas (PEM encoding, random number generation etc). To aid compatibility with existing software, RSAEuro is call-compatible with RSADSI's "RSAREF(tm)" toolkit. RSAEuro allows non-US residents to make use of much of the cryptographic software previously only (legally) available in the US. RSAEuro contains support for the following: * RSA encryption, decryption and key generation. Compatible with 'RSA Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #1. * Generation and verification of message digests using MD2, MD4, MD5 and SHS (SHS currently not implemented in higher-level functions to maintain compatibility with PKCS). * DES encryption and decryption using CBC (1, 2 or 3 keys using Encrypt-Decrypt-Encrypt) and DESX(tm), RSADSI's secure DES enhancement. Blowfish and RRC.2 encryption and decryption using CBC (available in commercial versions only). * Diffie-Hellman key agreement as defined in PKCS #3. * PEM support support for RFC 1421 encoded ASCII data with all main functions. * Key routines implemented in assembler for speed (80386 and 680x0 currently supported). * Much improved library documentation with code samples. International Use ----------------- IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please do not distribute or use this software in the US it is 'illegal' to use this toolkit in the US, as RSADSI and Cylink hold patents relating to public-key cryptography. If you are a US resident, please use the RSAREF toolkit instead. On The Web ---------- RSAEuro can now be found at http://www.repertech.com/RSAEuro.html Author Details -------------- With comments and suggestions, please address them to Stephen Kapp, at 'rsaeuro(a)repertech.com', for documentation comments suggestions please address them to Nick Barron, at 'nikb(a)repertech.com' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RSAEURO: rsaeuro(a)repertech.com RSAEURO Bugs: rsaeuro-bugs(a)repertech.com Tel: +44 (0)370 566687 Http: http://www.repertech.com/RSAEuro.html RSAEURO - Copyright (c) J.S.A.Kapp 1994-1997. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RSAEURO - Cryptography for the World.

Re: CFV: moderate sci.cryonics

Lewis McCarthy (lmccarth(a)cs.umass.edu) wrote * [various newsgroups removed from the distribution] * Eli the Bearded writes: * > help prevent the moderator or a third party from inventing * > posts from people. (If someone always posts from the Lucifer remailer * > how can you tell real posts from that person from fakes? They all * > look a like.) * * Three words: "public key cryptography" * * Note that unsigned Usenet articles can be forged by anyone, * regardless of whether or not they're sent through an anonymizer. * Unsigned articles only give the illusion of authentication. At * least with anonymized articles, most people realize more readily * that there's no real proof of identity present (as you noted above). That is correct. A moderated newsgroup can be set up such that messages coming from certain addresses can be required to be digitally signed. This requirement, of course, does not have to apply to all users and can be done on a voluntary basis. Anonymous users can also enjoy the benefits of authentication, if they submit their public keys to the moderator (with the key address set to something like space(a)alien.nowhere) and request that all messages coming with the address "space(a)alien.nowhere" be authenticated. This is a very positive aspect of moderated groups, since anonymous posters can enjoy both anonymity and reputation. The other concern here seems to be forgers who forge valid addresses of existing users. Again, a moderated group has a great flexibility to introduce SOME authentication without even the need for using public key cryptography. The moderator can set up a password-based system. Anyone can request a password sent to them by sending an email to password(a)moderation.site.com. A unique password will be generated, stored and sent back to the requestor. The address that had been assigned the password gets on the "watch list" and all article submissions from that address would be checked for presence of the password. Of course, a password needs to be wiped out from the message priot to teh approval. As long as email remains private (ie, there is no man in the middle or any sniffers acting), this scheme is secure. Again, it may be either purely voluntary or mandatory. Of course, anonymous users need special treatment since they are unable to receive email. Such users may continue to use PGP. igor

How about: To sub-s-c-r-ibe to the Cypherpunks Distributed Remailer is a little different than most mailing lists you may have experienced. The reason is that the list consists of several indipendent systems passing traffic from each system to the others. They use a mutualy agreed upon method for deleting multiple copies. Since all the remailers share a commen remailer package, namely Majordomo, they have a commen interface. The actual mechanism of sub-scr-ip-tion is to send 'majordomo@<system>' an email with 'sub-scr-ibe cypherpunks' in the body.

List of reliable remailers
by Raph Levien 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed information about remailer features and reliability. To use it, just finger remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu There is also a Web version of the same information, plus lots of interesting links to remailer-related resources, at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP encrypting client for outgoing mail. For more information, see: http://www.c2.org/~raph/premail.html For the PGP public keys of the remailers, finger pgpkeys(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu This is the current info: REMAILER LIST This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration options and special features for each of the remailers. The second part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each remailer. You can also get this list by fingering remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu. $remailer{"extropia"} = "<remail(a)miron.vip.best.com> cpunk pgp special"; $remailer{"mix"} = "<mixmaster(a)remail.obscura.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek ksub reord ?"; $remailer{"replay"} = "<remailer(a)replay.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut post ek"; $remailer{"exon"} = "<remailer(a)remailer.nl.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"haystack"} = "<haystack(a)holy.cow.net> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"lucifer"} = "<lucifer(a)dhp.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"jam"} = "<remailer(a)cypherpunks.ca> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek"; $remailer{"winsock"} = "<winsock(a)rigel.cyberpass.net> cpunk pgp pgponly hash cut ksub reord"; $remailer{'nym'} = '<config(a)nym.alias.net> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"balls"} = "<remailer(a)huge.cajones.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"squirrel"} = "<mix(a)squirrel.owl.de> cpunk mix pgp pgponly hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"middle"} = "<middleman(a)jpunix.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek reord"; $remailer{'cyber'} = '<alias(a)alias.cyberpass.net> alpha pgp'; $remailer{"dustbin"} = "<dustman(a)athensnet.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek mix reord middle"; $remailer{'weasel'} = '<config(a)weasel.owl.de> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"reno"} = "<middleman(a)cyberpass.net> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek reord ?"; $remailer{"wazoo"} = "<remailer(a)wazoo.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"shaman"} = "<remailer(a)lycaeum.org> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"hidden"} = "<remailer(a)hidden.net> cpunk pgp hash latent cut"; catalyst(a)netcom.com is _not_ a remailer. lmccarth(a)ducie.cs.umass.edu is _not_ a remailer. usura(a)replay.com is _not_ a remailer. remailer(a)crynwr.com is _not_ a remailer. There is no remailer at relay.com. Groups of remailers sharing a machine or operator: (cyber mix) (weasel squirrel) The alpha and nymrod nymservers are down due to abuse. However, you can use the nym or weasel (newnym style) nymservers. The cyber nymserver is quite reliable for outgoing mail (which is what's measured here), but is exhibiting serious reliability problems for incoming mail. The squirrel and winsock remailers accept PGP encrypted mail only. 403 Permission denied errors have been caused by a flaky disk on the Berkeley WWW server. This seems to be fixed now.

If not listed in conjunction with mon, then only messages destined for public forums are subject to filtering. Raph Levien

DCSB: The Internet as an Auction-Pricing Incubator
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- The Digital Commerce Society of Boston Presents Fred Hapgood "The Internet as an Auction-Pricing Incubator" Tuesday, June 3, 1997 12 - 2 PM The Downtown Harvard Club of Boston One Federal Street, Boston, MA Price, Including Luncheon: $30.00 The low transaction costs and interactivity of the internet are proving a highly favorable incubator for auction pricing. In April Yahoo reported 60+ sites supporting online auctions with more appearing every day. The largest of these hosted more than 50,000 individual auctions (not individual items) simultaneously and was growing at 25% a month. Online auction sites appear to be the only indigenous internet service that is a) generating profits of any scale and b) respectable. Fred will describe how these auctions work, some of their varieties, what they are selling, analyze the online auction site as a business model, review recent developments, and weigh the odds that online auctions will be associated with changes of interest in the structure of the economy and the culture. Fred Hapgood, <http://www.pobox.com/~hapgood>, is a free-lance writer based in Boston. While he often writes about aspects of electronic commerce, that being where the market is, he promises creditworthy clients an attentive and positive hearing to any proposition legal in at least one jurisdiction. Last year he spoke before the DCSB on franchising and the internet. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, June 3, 1997, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $30.00. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress code. We will attempt to record this meeting and put it on the web in RealAudio format at some future date We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, May 31, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $30.00. If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Upcoming speakers for DCSB are: July Win Treese TLS, Digital Commerce, and Export Issues August Duncan Frissell MarketEarth September Christof Paar Elliptic Curve Cryptography October Peter Cassidy Military Fiat and Digital Commerce November Carl Ellison Identity and Certification for Electronic Commerce We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, and you would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Commmittee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah(a)shipwright.com> . For more information about the Digital Commerce Society of Boston, send "info dcsb" in the body of a message to <mailto: majordomo(a)ai.mit.edu> . If you want to subscribe to the DCSB e-mail list, send "subscribe dcsb" in the body of a message to <mailto: majordomo(a)ai.mit.edu> . We look forward to seeing you there!

Has anyone else experienced problems, inside the UK or outside? All of the post that have come through have been sent initially to toad.com, my guess would be that nearly everyone, regardless of where they are sub-scr-ibed, is sending posts to algebra.com, which appears to be down, therefore cyberpass and ssz, even though they are up, have not got many messages to send on, does anyone know where toad.com is forwarding posts to?

Microsoft has been involved for some time with smart-card keyboard readers, and I think some of my cohorts have seen the prototypes (I have not). I figure strong authentication will become part of the the platform within somewhere between 6 and 18 months. With Intel putting crypto on the main board / CPU, this poses very important issues --- it does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Tim May writes: > Could hardware-based chips be coming? At a recent meeting, John Markoff > asked me if I'd heard anything about Intel's rumored contract to buy 20 > million (yes, 20 _million_) keyboards with crypto features built in. I had > not heard this rumor. > > (Since then, though, there have been rumblings that Intel is preparing to > offer such keyboards, possibly with "user authentication" features (don't > know what kind). This might, speculating here, be linked with the Intel-HP > (and maybe Verifone, which HP is buying?) key recovery work. Conceivably, a > plan to sell a large user base (20 million?) on a hardware/keyboard-based > "secure commerce" solution.) I haven't heard anything about this rumor. However, if you look at the new USB chips being built by Cypress et al, it's not hard to imagine keyboards with ISO smart card readers built in. The USB chips contain a simple RISC core, lots of I/O pins and something like 4-8KB of FLASH or OTP memory. The incremental cost is a slot with 6 contacts for the smart card. Unlike PCMCIA, the ISO smart cards are cheap to build and easy to interface to. Schmlumberger is currently promoting it's "CryptoFlex" card which can do 1024-bit RSA sigs as well as triple-DES. I believe that it can do a 1024-bit sig in something like 20 ms. Eric
