Legality of *non*-encryption
by Sparkes, Ian, ZFRD AC 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I heard an interesting new slant on the legality of encryption today. I was talking to a colleague who is employed in a law firm here in Germany. It appears that under the current interpretation of German law, communications of a confidential nature (for example, contracts, medical records and so forth) over an insecure network *MUST* be encrypted to protect the Client. It is therefore a breach of German law to send unencypted eMail, unless it can be proved that every stage of the transmission happens over internal (secure?) paths. I will dig further on this - perhaps there is a useful precedent to be established here. At very least we might be able to keep lawers (and doctors) off the net ;-)

Forwarded message: >From owner-travel-advisories(a)stolaf.edu Wed Feb 11 04:13:44 1998 Date: Fri, 6 Feb 1998 14:37:33 -0500 From: owner-travel-advisories <owner-travel-advisories(a)stolaf.edu> Subject: NEW TRAVEL INFO -- Kuwait Sender: "U.S. Department of State" <76702.1202(a)compuserve.com> To: travel-advisories(a)stolaf.edu Message-ID: <199802061439_MC2-3241-E30(a)compuserve.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Precedence: bulk STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL INFORMATION - Kuwait ============================================================ Kuwait - Public Announcement February 6, 1998 On February 5, 1998, the American Embassy in Kuwait was authorized to issue the following warden message: "We are monitoring the situation with Iraq closely. Although we see no direct threat to the safety of American citizens in Kuwait at this time, we believe it would be prudent now for all citizens to heed the standing preparedness advice for American citizens living abroad. Specifically, you should: --assemble all vital documents such as passports, birth and marriage records, vaccination, insurance and bank records in one readily accessible location; --check to be sure that your passport and any necessary visas are valid and that you are registered at the Embassy with your current address and phone number. If you need to obtain a new passport or to update your registration, please do so at the Embassy as soon as possible, any working day from 8:30 to 11:30 am or 1:00 to 3:00 pm; --make or update as necessary a complete inventory of your household effects, in duplicate; --maintain an adequate supply of food and water in your home. Make sure your car is in good working order. Keep the gas tank full and check oil, coolant, tires and battery. We do not want American citizens in Kuwait to become unduly alarmed. These are precautionary measures only. We are not advising Americans to leave. However, given the potential seriousness of the current situation we believe it is important for all citizens to maintain readiness in case of an emergency. We will promptly inform you of any significant developments and advise you accordingly." For further information on travel to Kuwait, please consult the latest Consular Information Sheet for Kuwait or contact the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. This Public Announcement expires May 6, 1998. Kuwait - Consular Information Sheet August 28, 1996 Country Description: Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy with a modern economy. Day-to-day life has returned to normal after the 1991 Gulf War, and facilities for travelers are widely available. The workweek in Kuwait is Saturday through Wednesday. Entry Requirements: Passports and visas are required for U.S. citizens traveling to Kuwait. For more information concerning entry requirements, travelers may contact the Embassy of Kuwait at 2940 Tilden St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008, telephone (202) 966-0702, or the Kuwaiti Consulate in New York City, telephone (212) 973-4318. Areas of Instability: Travel to and near the Iraq-Kuwait border is very hazardous. U.S. citizens having legitimate work-related business near the border may receive updated information from the U.S. Embassy, and may also wish to consult with their employer's security personnel. Unexploded bombs, mines, booby traps, and other items remain in open areas and beaches throughout Kuwait. U.S. Embassy personnel have been forbidden to travel off paved surfaces outside Kuwait City. Medical Facilities: The health care delivery system continues to rebuild, with many medical facilities, both government and private, available in Kuwait. Medical care at government-run clinics and hospitals is generally provided free of charge or at low cost to residents of Kuwait, while private physicians and hospitals charge a fee for services. Non-residents have found that private doctors, hospitals and clinics expect immediate cash payment for their services. U.S. medical insurance is not always valid outside the United States. Medevac insurance, for emergencies requiring treatment outside Kuwait, and supplemental medical insurance with specific overseas coverage have proven useful. Additional information on health matters can be obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's international travelers hotline, telephone (404) 332-4559 or visit the CDC Home Page on the Internet at http://www.cdc.gov. Crime Information: The crime rate in Kuwait is moderate. However, weapons left over from the 1991 Gulf War remain in the hands of the populace, and shooting incidents have occurred, Both physical and verbal harassment of women is a continuing problem. The loss or theft of a U.S. passport abroad should be reported immediately to local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Useful information on safeguarding valuables, protecting personal security, and other matters while traveling abroad is provided in the Department of State pamphlets, "A Safe Trip Abroad" and "Tips for Travelers to the Middle East and North Africa." They are available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Currency Regulations: Travelers checks and credit cards are widely acceptable. Kuwaiti currency is readily convertible to U.S. dollars. Drug and Crime Penalties: U.S. citizens are subject to the laws of the country in which they are traveling. Alcohol, pork products, and pornography are illegal in Kuwait. Penalties for importation, possession, use, manufacture or sale of illegal drugs, alcohol, or pornography are severe, and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and fines. Religious proselytizing is not permitted. Terrorist Activities: Americans in Kuwait should be alert to their surroundings and take prudent security precautions. U.S. citizens may wish to consult the Department of State or the U.S. Embassy for updated information. Child Custody: In Kuwait, child custody decisions are based on Islamic law. It is extremely difficult for an American woman, even a Muslim, to obtain custody of her children through a Kuwaiti court decision. Regardless of their parents' marital status, minor children of a Kuwaiti father may not leave Kuwait without the father's permission. Traffic Safety and Road Conditions: Driving in Kuwait can be hazardous. Although Kuwait has an extensive and modern system of well-lighted roads, excessive speeding on both primary and secondary roads, coupled with lax enforcement of traffic regulations, lead to frequent and often fatal accidents. Embassy Location and Registration: U.S. citizens are encouraged to register at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy and to enroll in the Embassy's emergency alert network, and to obtain updated information on travel and security in Kuwait. The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait is located at Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa Street, Plot 14, Block 14, Bayan, Kuwait. The mailing address is P.O. Box 77, Safat 13001, Kuwait; telephone (965) 242-4151 through 9. No. 96-150 This replaces the Consular Information Sheet for Kuwait dated September 20, 1994, to update information on areas of instability, drug and crime penalties, terrorist activities, and the address of the U.S. Embassy, and to add information on child custody and traffic safety and road conditions. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- The "travel-advisories(a)stolaf.edu" mailing list is the official Internet and BITNET distribution point for the U.S. State Department Travel Warnings and Consular Information Sheets.

The Aussies are obligated by treaty for the crypto/spying stuff. We Americans spy on all your domestic traffic by treaty. You can also request specifically targeted AU-domestic information from our personnel manning in AU the spy equipment, and we hand it to them. That's what the UKUSA (pronounced you-koo-za) agreement is all about: none of your people have broken any domestic spy laws. The British provide that service for us in Fort Meade, VA, we provide that service to the British in Menwith Hill... The EU recently declared the NSA was performing massive EU-domestic spying: that's how we have access. (It also confirms the entire massive US-domestic NSA spying claim of the Cryptography Manifesto) There has been a stunning lack of outrage to the EU statement: I'd have thought USA-based privacy groups and reporters would jump all over it. # "Moynihan Says U.S. Killed His Anti-Spy Measure" # By Irvin Molotsky, The New York Times, September 11, 1985 # # Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan charged that the CIA and State Department # had killed a measure he had introduced aimed at protecting American # citizens from having their telephone conversations intercepted by foreign # agents in this country. # # The Senator's bill would have made telephone call interception by foreign # agents illegal and would have provided for their expulsion. # # The Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence opposed the measure # as unnecessary and could lead to disclosing "sensitive intelligence # sources." British wiretappers at the helm of the NSA's domestic spy-fest. You are "secondary" parties to the treaty...low on the totem pole. See the Cryptography Manifesto at: http://www.erols.com/paulwolf/cointelpro/cointel.htm (scroll down once there). Here is the Australian section... You'll have to purchase the "Project L.U.C.I.D." book for more details [that I snipped] from the Australian "National Surveillance" report. Snipped: some Australian politicians chased around trying to find out what the NSA was doing, then reversing themselves ("nothing's happening.."). I have to admit, it wasn't until I read this Australian report that I realized most of NASA's space shots were military. ---guy ****************************************************************************** Australian ECHELON Spotted ---------- ------- ------- * http://www.texemarrs.com, Living Truth Ministries 800/234-9673 Texe Marrs and his organization are big on the "Anti-Christ" aspects of all the technology the UKUSA governments have deployed to monitor people. I am just glad he knows the Beast when he sees it, that it is Evil (without the people involved necessarily being evil in intent: agreed!) and that unless we do something soon, it will be too late: Earth will become Hell. His book-jacket bio: Texe Marrs was a career U.S. Air Force officer (retired). He commanded communications-electronics and engineering units around the globe. * "Project L.U.C.I.D.", by Texe Marrs, 1996, ISBN 1-884302-02-5 * * Appendix 2: World Surveillance Headquarters * * The report that follows, originally entitled "National Surveillance", was * written by Australia's Peter Sawer and published in Inside News (P.O. Box * 311, Maleny, Queensland 4552, Australia). It first came to my attention * when it was printed in the U.S. by LtCol Archibald E. Robert's Bulletin, * the newsletter of the highly respected Committee to Restore the Constitu- * tion (P.O. Box 986, Fort Collins, Colorado 80522). * * The article caused a flurry of activity and a round of vigorous denials, * admissions, coverups, and more denials by Australian political leaders. * * The article contends that (1) America's National Security Agency (NSA) * is the world surveillance headquarters, and (2) Australia has it's own * secret "computer center", linked with the NSA via satellite, which * illegally watches over Australia's citizenry. Article snippets... capitalization by the original authors... * On a fateful fall day in America, on November 4th, 1952, a new United * States government agency quietly was brought into existence through * presidential decree. * * The birth of the National Security Agency on that day so long ago * heralded the beginning of the world's most sophisticated and all * encompassing surveillance system, and the beginnings of the greatest * threat to individual liberty and freedom not only in Australia, but * the entire planet will ever see. * * The NSA grew out of the post war "Signals Intelligence" section of the * U.S. War Department. It is unique amongst government organizations in * America, and indeed most other countries, in that there are NO specified * or defined limits to its powers. * * The NSA can (and does) do just about whatever it wants, whenever, and * wherever it wants. Although little known in both the U.S. and elsewhere, * the NSA is quite literally the most powerful organization in the world. * * Not limited by any law, and answerable only to the U.S. National Security * Council through COMSEC, the NSA now controls an information and * surveillance network around the globe that even Orwell, in his novel * "1984", could not have imagined. * * Most people believe that the current "computer age" grew out of either * the space program or the nuclear weapons race; it did not. * * ALL significant advances in computer technology over the last thirty * years, from the very beginnings of IBM, through to the super computers * of today, have been for the NSA. In fact, the world's very first super * computer, the awe-inspiring CRAY, was built to specification for the * NSA, and installed in their headquarters in 1976. * * The entire twentieth century of development of computer technology has * been the result of the NSA's unquenchable thirst for ever bigger, ever * faster machines on which to collect, collate, and cross-reference data * on hundreds of millions of honest, law-abiding, and totally unsuspecting * individuals. And not only in America, but in many other countries as * well. Including, as we shall see, Australia. [ "The Rise of the Computer State", David Burnham, 1984 p134: ...the technical advances that were occurring did so not entirely by chance. The computers' ability to acquire, organize, store and retrieve huge amounts of data was an essential factor leading to the broad definition of intelligence that was fostered by the National Security Agency and its godfather, the National Security Council. Computer research was supported by NSA in a major way by secret research dollars. Thomas C. Reed, Director of the Pentagon's Telecommunications, Command and Control System, referring to domestic intercity telephone microwave radio trunks, said in 1975, "Modern computer techniques make it possible to sort through that traffic and find target conversations easily." p126-127: Since the wiretap law barred the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs from installing a tap on New York City's Grand Central Station pay phones, bureau head John Ingersoll asked the NSA for help. Within a few months the spy agency was sorting through all the conversations it was already acquiring for general intelligence purposes. Of course, the technicians were required to acquire, monitor, and discard a large number of calls made by people with no connection with the cocaine business in South American cities. But so pleased was Mr. Ingersoll with the tips he was getting from the dragnet monitoring that he ultimately persuaded the NSA to monitor simultaneously nineteen other U.S. communication hubs. ] * "Project L.U.C.I.D.", continued... * * Fort Meade is the hub of an information gathering octopus whose tentacles * reach out to the four corners of the earth. * * The principal means of communicating this information is by the National * Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) satellite communications * system, which most people erroneously think exists primarily for the * space program. * * It does not. * * The satellites, indeed NASA and the entire American Space Program, exist * largely to supply the NSA with its telecommunications system. That is why * the bulk of its operations are officially declared 'secret'. This * ultimate 'Big Brother' machine even has an official name 'Project * Platform'. [ "The Puzzle Palace": all these computer systems are linked together under Project Platform. The first Cray went to the NSA. p138 ] * Although the NSA was officially formed in 1952, it grew out of an * International Agreement signed in 1947. Officially termed the "UKUSA * PACT," this was an agreement between Britain, the U.S.A., Canada, New * Zealand, Australia and the NATO countries. * * The UKUSA PACT was, quite simply and bluntly, an agreement between these * countries to collect and collate information on their respective citizens * and to share this information with each other and pass on to Fort Meade. * * On March 9th 1977, the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. Bill Hayden, asked * "questions on notice" on the subject. On April 19, Prime Minister Malcom * Fraser, declined to answer the questions, "in the interests of national * security." * * The first clue of the Australian Headquarters of PROJECT PLATFORM appeared * in 1975. Then, as today, government undertakings involving expenditure * over a certain amount must be presented to a Senate body, the Joint * Parliamentary Accounts Committee (JPAC). In 1975 JPAC was asked to * examine and approve finance for the construction of a new building in * Deakin, a leafy suburb of Canberra. * * This quite massive building was to be constructed behind an existing, much * smaller one, which, until then, had been known to the public only as the * "Deakin Telephone Exchange." * * That it was not, and never had been, simply a "telephone exchange" finally * came to light in the 1975 JPAC Approval Report, when it admitted that the * existing building had a comprehensive basement which housed NASA's micro- * wave communications headquarters in Australia. Part of the justification * of the "need" for the new, much larger building, was that by 1980, it was * expected that NASA would run out of room in their existing home. * * Apart from NASA, it is now admitted that Deakin houses the National * Computer Headquarters for, amongst others, the Australian Defense * Department, the Australian Taxation Office, the Department of Social * Security, the Commonwealth Department of Education, and the Department * of Transport and Communications. * * Both Tax and Social Security are, in turn, directly linked to Medicare. * In fact, the Department of Health used Social Security's computer * facilities there until their own were completed. * * A small, but highly significant, part of the building is, in fact, * occupied by Telecom. This is the part that contains the networking * junctions for the optical-fiber lines leased by the banks for their * "Electronic Funds Transfer System" (EFTS).

My guess is this: if it has the name of a US citizen in the copyright notice, it will be assumed to have been made in the US. if the morons even go after you. you still may have a plausable excuse if ever taken to court. after all, you "exported" youself, which is a perfectly legal thing to take out of the country, and "yourself" accidentally spewed a copy of something that couldn't cross the border. I don't think anybody has tried this and been challenged. then again, a lot of us don't have the opportunity. It's easier to ask forgivness than permission... Another easier excuse would be to publish it freely in hardcopy form, and just "happen" to have somebody end up "typing" in your source code abroad, making a legit international copy... -Anon2

ruling on deceitful domain names
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Seems a wee bit o' infowar is breaking out in the DNS... ........................................ http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/technology/wired/story.html?s=n/reuters /980213/wired/stories/domain_1.html Friday February 13 2:17 PM EST Planned Parenthood wins ruling in domain dispute By Jen Sullivan SAN FRANCISCO (Wired) - In a decision that underscores the thorny and ongoing issue of brand identity and domain names, the U.S. Second Court of Appeals upheld a preliminary injunction issued last March that prevented the use of the plannedparenthood.com domain name for a personal anti-abortion Web site. U.S. District Court Judge Kimba Wood ruled that there was "significant likelihood" that the Web site by Richard Bucci of Syracuse, New York, would cause confusion among individuals seeking Planned Parenthood's actual site, plannedparenthood.org. The .com version has been placed "on hold" by Network Solutions Inc. (NSI) and is not accessible to Web browsers. Planned Parenthood general counsel Eve Paul lauded the decision. "We aren't a big company that owns factories, we just have our name, and women all over the country trust our name," Paul said. "We can't afford to let someone use it for their own political purposes." Paul praised the court's finding that Bucci's use of the domain was misleading. "When you went to that Web site, it said 'Welcome to the Planned Parenthood home page,"' said Paul. "It really had a very negative effect on our ability to reach a great audience out there." In addition to espousing anti-abortion views, Bucci's site promoted his friend's anti-abortion book. Bucci, an anti-abortion activist who also hosts a local radio program several times a week called "Catholic Hour," stopped using the disputed domain name after the judge issued her preliminary injunction, but plans to fight the court's decision, taking appeals all the way to Supreme Court if possible. "Do you remember General Patton? We're going to continue to hold Planned Parenthood by the nose and kick them in the derriere," Bucci said. Though pleased with the end result, Paul expressed dismay over the slow speed of the process, first with NSI, and then with the ensuing legal action. "Network Solutions was very slow," said Paul. "If they had been available, it certainly would have been cheaper. "Our trademark lawyer wrote them a letter, and they sent back a very bureaucratic response, saying that we hadn't crossed our T's and dotted our I's. We went to court but that turned out to be a longer process than we had hoped," she said. Network Solutions' stated policy is that they do not arbitrate in trademark infringement cases. "What insanity has gotten into the minds of the people when they think of domain names and the Internet," said David Graves, director of business affairs at NSI. "What mechanism does the Newspaper Association of America have in place when an advertiser infringes on a trademark in an advertisement? They don't have separate mechanisms." Stanton McCandlish, program director of the Electronic Frontier Federation (EFF), agreed that trademark infringement is purely a legal issue. "NSI has not been doing a very good job," McCandlish said. "They lose registrations, things get screwed up. But trademark is a big open issue. I don't think that anyone can expect NSI to solve that one. Lawsuits are inevitable. There is not any way to get to heart of the matter." Paul said Planned Parenthood was in the process of acquiring the "plannedparenthood.com" domain name. ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig(a)otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu Has Nike hired Monica to endorse kneepads yet?

BXA, UK Ban, McCain-Kerrey
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In response to Greg Broiles' and Ulf Möller's posts and the prospect of a UK ban on non-escrowed encryption next Tuesday: Opening Address Under Secretary William A. Reinsch Bureau of Export Administration U.S. Department of Commerce Update West 98 Los Angeles, California February 10, 1998 [Excerpt] Encryption One of the reasons why our licensing load is inching back up is the transfer of encryption licensing to Commerce earlier this year. No speech from me would be complete without a paragraph on encryption, so here it is. Our policy is intended to balance the competing interests of privacy, electronic commerce, law enforcement, and national security. We believe that use of key recovery technologies is the best way to achieve that balance. We do not focus narrowly on a single technology or approach. We expect the market to make those judgments, but we are taking steps to facilitate the development and dissemination of these products. Our regulations allow recoverable encryption products of any strength and key length to be exported freely after a single review by the government. To encourage movement toward recoverable products, we have also created a special, two-year liberalization period during which companies may export 56 bit DES or equivalent products provided they submit plans to develop key recovery products. This provides an incentive for manufacturers to develop these products, which in turn will facilitate the development of key management infrastructures. So far, we have approved 47 plans, from companies large and small, and have five more pending. In terms of licenses, in calendar year 1997, we received 2076 applications, and approved 1801 licenses with a dollar value of $4.7 billion. (The reason for the high dollar value is because we approve encryption licensing arrangements for extended periods of time, from 4 to 10 years.) The interagency working group on cryptography policy, which includes representatives from BXA, NSA, and the FBI, continue to meet to discuss ways to streamline the licensing process on encryption export licenses. Several items have been identified and progress is being made in these areas. We have established a pre-Operating Committee group to discuss contentious cases. In part as a result, no encryption cases have been escalated to the OC since mid-December. We have created an Autolist to eliminate agency referrals. So far, we have agreed to list specific products amounting to 20% of the products we see. This means, once implemented, that a subset of licenses can be processed by Commerce without prior referral to other agencies. Finally, we have posted on our web page "helpful hints" to make the encryption licensing process more transparent: http://www.bxa.doc.gov/encguide.htm We continue to work on other initiatives to streamline the process. We are also discussing with our trading partners a common approach to encryption policy. We have found that most major producing countries have public safety and national security concerns similar to ours. We are working together with these governments to ensure that our policies are compatible, and that they facilitate the emergence of a key management infrastructure. With respect to legislation, we believe the McCain-Kerrey Bill, S. 909, the Secure Public Networks Act, provides a sound basis for legislation acceptable to both Congress and the Administration. In particular, we appreciate the bill's explicit recognition of the need to balance competing objectives and of the potential for key recovery to become a market-driven mechanism to facilitate maintaining that balance. ... [Other excerpts of speeches by BXA officials at the seminar:] Encryption Controls Export Enforcement has new responsibilities in the encryption area. Over the past year, Export Enforcement has opened many new investigations involving alleged violations of the encryption regulations. These cases are being watched very closely. The national security of the United States depends in part on the government's ability to obtain timely information about the activities and plans of potentially hostile foreign parties, such as terrorists and drug dealers. ... the Department of Justice and National Security Agency participate in processing licenses for encryption. ... The increase in licenses we are experiencing is attributable not only to increased exports, but to transfer of items from the Munitions List to Commerce jurisdiction. Encryption licenses account for a significant portion of the increase. We created a special division to handle those. As of today, there is only one encryption case that has been pending over 40 days. ----- For full speeches: http://jya.com/bxa-west98.htm
