Sun vs. FUD: Elvis is waiting; Sun puts high-strength encryption software aside
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/technology/wired/story.html?s=n/reuters /980310/wired/stories/sun_4.html Tuesday March 10 9:58 AM EST Sun puts high-strength encryption software aside SAN FRANCISCO (Wired) - Sun Microsystems, which had hoped to market high-strength encryption software developed by a Russian firm, has put the plans on hold due to ongoing scrutiny by the US Commerce Department, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The software, partially based on a Sun security protocol, was developed by a Moscow company called Elvis+, a firm started by former Soviet space scientists in which Sun now owns a 10 percent stake. The deal attracted widespread attention because it appeared to give Sun a way around the Clinton administration's regulation of strong-crypto exports. Sun contended the Elvis+ products fall outside the purview of US government policy. The administration has been reviewing the deal for nine months now. Sun executives, who had hoped to put the encryption software on the market last August, have shelved the plans for the moment, but they remain hopeful, the Journal reported. ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig(a)otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu "I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence."

Tuesesday March 10, 1998 3/10/98 E-mail Federico.F.Pena(a)hq.doe.gov and mail Federico F. Pena The Secretary of Energy United States Department of Energy Washington, D.C. 20585 Dear Secretary Pena: Purpose of this letter is to appeal a denial of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request. I wrote on Tuesday February 17, 1999 15:11 e-mail and mail Ms. Elva Barfield Freedom of Information Office U. S. Department of Energy Albuquerque Operations Office/OIEA POB 5400 Albuquerque, NM 87185-5400 EBARFIELD(a)DOEAL.GOV Dear Ms. Barfield: VP Al Gore is in the crypto business. Information SuperSpyWay Al Gore Approved Encryption for China in Return for Campaign Donations by Charles R. Smith Portions of the above document posted on Internet at http://www.us.net/softwar/ and http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ states 1. Gore charged with encryption policy according to PDD-5 and PRD-27 on April 16, 1993. 2. Government officials represent themselves on Al Gore's behalf for RSA patent purchase negotiations in Feb. 1994. 3. RSA chairman Bidzos meets with Chinese officials at the same time as Ron Brown in Oct. 1995. 4. RSA Chairman Bidzos enters into merger negotiations with Security Dynamics, a company backed by Sanford Robertson, in Nov. 1995. 5. VP Gore calls Sanford Robertson from the White House for a donation in Nov. 1995. 6. Robertson delivers $100,000 donation ($80,000 soft - $20,000 directly into the Clinton/Gore campaign) in Jan. 1996. 7. RSA signs deal with China in Feb. 1996. The administration previously prosecuted similar deals but this time does nothing. 8. Justice Dept. approves RSA merger with Security Dynamics in April 1996 for $280 million dollars, netting Sanford Robertson's company a cool $2 million just to write the deal. In 1991 I was in involved with Sandia National Laboratories Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty seismic data authenticator. At that time Sandia director Tommy A Sellers had assumed responsibility for directorship from Robert Clem. Sandia supervisor Tom Wright replaced my supervisor, John Holovka, who was the supervisor for the CTBT seismic data authenticator. Wright brought in Ph.D. Steven Goldsmith to supervise me. Sellars, Wright, and Goldsmith were new to crypto-type projects. Much of this is documented at http://www.jya.com/whp021598.htm. This is evidenced by Sellar's attached SEP 24 1991 memorandum, which Goldsmith help author, addressed to Dr James J Hearn at the National Security Agency. The SEP 24 memorandum contained a number of technical errors. I corrected these errors in my attached December 20, 1991 memorandum. Department of Energy and it predecessors have a well-documented history of not requiring technical expertise for pursuit of interests. Stewart Udall, The Myths of August, writes, Any cover-up must be implemented and enforced by designated agents, and one man emerged in 1953 as the quarterback of the AEC's damage-control effort. His name was Gordon Dunning. Although the personnel charts of the 1950s list him as a low-level "rad-safe" official in the Division of Biology and Medicine, documents demonstrate that he was clothed with authority to manage and suppress information about the radiation released by the testing of nuclear weapons. ... About the time Sellers and Sandia Ombudsman gave me a directed transfer to break electronic locks for the FBI/ERF [engineering research facility], Goldsmith and Wright, certainly with the approval of Sellers, placed a contract with RSA Inc [http://www.rsa.com/] I was told. Ms Barfield, we think the American public needs to know more about RSA's work with Sandia National Laboratories. Therefore, Under the provision of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC 552, I am requesting access to: 1 ALL purchase requisitions, including any attached statement of work, issued by Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratories, or DOE/ALOO between January 1, 1991 and February 17, 1998 to RSA Inc. 2 Copies of all invoices from RSA Inc received by Sandia National Laboratories, Los Alamos National Laboratories, or DOE/ALOO between January 1, 1991 and February 17, 1998 If there are any fees for searching for, or copying, the records I have requested, please inform me before you fill the request. As you know, the Act permits you to reduce or waive the fees when the release of the information is considered as "primarily benefiting the public." I believe that this requests fits that category and I therefore ask that you waive any fees. Your office agreed to waive fees before. This request is surely of "public interest." December 13, 1994 DOE/AL FOIA officer Gwen Schreiner waived fees for the reason, "We have considered your request and have determined that release of the requested records is in the public interest, that disclosure of this information is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations or activities of the government, that you or the organization you represent have little or no commercial interest in the material contained in the records, that you or the organization you represent have the qualifications and ability to use and disseminate the information, and that the records are not currently in the public domain. A waiver of fees is therefore granted." This waiver of fees was, undoubtedly, issued as a result of former Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary's Openness initiative. Heart of America paid my way to hear Secretary O'Leary's celebrated whistleblower speech. If all or any part of this request is denied, please cite the specific exemption(s) which you think justifies your refusal to release the information and inform me of your agency's administrative appeal procedures available to me under the law. I would appreciate your handling this request as quickly as possible, and I look forward to hearing from you within 20 working days, as the law stipulates. I received no response to the above FOIA. Therefore I appeal as a result of non-response. As you may be aware (6)(A) Each agency, upon any request for records made under paragraph (1), (2), or (3) of this subsection, shall-- (i) determine within ten days \1\ (excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays) after the receipt of any such request whether to comply with such request and shall immediately notify the person making such request of such determination and the reasons therefor, and of the right of such person to appeal to the head of the agency any adverse determination; and And you may also be aware ------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ Under section 12(b) of the Electronic Freedom of Information Act Amendments of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-231; 110 Stat. 3054), the amendment made by section 8(b) of such Act striking ``ten days'' and inserting ``20 days'' shall take effect on October 3, 1997. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (ii) make a determination with respect to any appeal within twenty days (excepting Saturdays, Sundays, and legal public holidays) after the receipt of such appeal. If on appeal the denial of the request for records is in whole or in part upheld, the agency shall notify the person making such request of the provisions for judicial review of that determination under paragraph (4) of this subsection So I expect a response to this appeal within the time allotted to you by law. Much of this unfortunate matter is appearing on Internet. http://www.jya.com/whp021598.htm http://www.jya.com/cylinked.htm Letter from Bill Payne Regarding Cryptography at Sandia http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ Crypto AG: The NSA's Trojan Whore? http://caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html NSA, Crypto AG, and the Iraq-Iran War http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm How Secure is America's Nuclear Arsenal? http://www.aci.net/kalliste/nukearse.htm And, of course, we continue to seek settlement.

Brian, that post was a feeble one-time attempt to write straight prose, uninflected, unaccusatory, undiabolical, un-nuts, un-understandable. It took days of agony to arrive at empty perfection, to say nothing with crystal clear aplomb, foreign policy piquant, transparent balderdash cover-up of bald-face lies delivered deadpan grammatically. I been studying James Rubin's disarmingly weird repartee at the State Department press conferences. Today he asked a reporter to define "who's got the con" for foreign policy. (Laughter, the transcript hooted.) "Charming weirdo" is the Secretary of State's and Rubin's demonic auto-epithet for her, emulating homicidal Maggie Thatcher hiding her demure will to slaughter. Swear to god this is the last time I'll try to ape well-mannered civil discourse. You got the con: It's too sicko wacko. Back to incoherent snarl of ignorant brutes chewing leg off for freedom.

emailed prez. death threat conviction
by David Honig 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

http://biz.yahoo.com/upi/98/03/11/general_news/usclinton_2.html Wednesday March 11 5:39 AM EST Teen convicted of Clinton e-mail threats MIDLAND, Mich., March 11 (UPI) _ A 17-year-old high school honors student faces jail after being convicted of sending e-mail death threats to President Clinton. Heidi Sullivan of Midland, Mich., was sentenced Tuesday to eight days in jail and two years probation for sending threats to the White House in January from a computer at Midland High School. Midland County Probation Officer Tom Adams says Sullivan could have received 20 years for threatening the president, but probably got the reduced sentence because of her family's history. [...] ..................... In other news President Might Go Under Knife WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sorry, Bill, it's for your own good. After consulting with his proctologist -- and hearing an appeal in favor of neutering from actress Doris Day -- First Lady Hillary Clinton has decided on the procedure for the President. But the reluctant First Lady reserved the right to change her mind. In announcing Hillary's decision Tuesday, White House spokesman Barry Toiv said Mrs. Clinton was ``inclined'' to allow the procedure. The National Organization of Women, the nation's largest women's rights group, applauded the First Lady's decision, saying she was doing the right thing. ``Neutering or spaying politicians is one of the most important acts a responsible society can take,'' said Martha Armstrong, a society vice president. ``It promotes better physical and behavioral health, and it helps to address the ubiquitous sexual misconduct crises.'' Hillary set no immediate date for putting her husband under the knife, leaving some to wonder whether the 50 year old former Arkansas governor has been told of his fate. ``Bill's a little too young to understand,'' Toiv said. Indeed, the President seemed blissfully unaware of any pending surgery as he played fetch with Buddy, the first dog, on the South Lawn with a green tennis ball Tuesday. White House press secretary Mike McCurry said today the procedure was ``not likely anytime soon given the dispositions and pending indictments.'' Toiv said Mrs. Clinton's decision was driven by concerns for her husband's health. She denied that it was motivated by the encounters Bill has had with Socks the family cat and various White House staff and interns. Dr. Jacqueline Suarez, a proctologist with the Alexandria (Va.) Army Hospital, said neutering can help curb politicians' aggression toward other politicians and tendency to fornicate in unwelcome places. ``Although, if we have people questioning if they should or shouldn't, those health reasons are good reasons to neuter as well, so we'll use them as part of the case for neutering,'' Suarez said. Miss Day, president of the Doris Day Humanitarian League, sent Clinton a letter in December expressing concern that the nation would suffer if he were left intact. Among them was a risk of impeachment in addition to testicular cancer and prostate infections that could lead to problems with urination. In January, McCurry said there were no plans to neuter the President, who had moved into the White House in 1993. However, Clinton physician Connie Mariano has now told Miss Day in a letter that Mrs. Clinton had decided to neuter the president on the advice of White House advisor James Carville. Armstrong said that politicians need not worry about losing their procreative abilities. ``Politicians don't have a real concept of identity or ego. Its all drive for power. Neutering a politician or justice department official will not change his basic personality,'' she said. ``They don't suffer any kind of emotional reaction or identity crisis when neutered.''

The technical people I know who work for the government seem to get salaries that would be low in industry for someone with that background. And I'd be surprised that bus drivers out in silicon valley were really making the $60-95K that ordinary senior engineers designing bus drivers make around here (the NE). If they are, they are getting lots more than other municipal employees such as school teachers with masters degrees. (In fact, I've heard that demand had recently driven salaries in the valley way up and maybe my numbers for engineers are low, especially for software engineers.) There is, of course, that nasty law that classifies engineers as exempt professionals but allows companies to treat them as just cannon fodder workers stuffed into cubicles and treated with little of the respect the term professional would suggest - to be forced to work large amounts of completely uncompensated overtime. Bus drivers (non exempt) do get paid for every minute they are on the job, and many times work schedules are deliberately arranged to guarantee significant amounts of overtime at time and a half, so many bus drivers actually make a significant multiple of their nominal salary for the same hours engineers get base salary and no more. But I do think that Prof. Froomkin is right that a lot of top managers and legal types and others in government whose private sector equivalents get huge salaries do work at a considerable loss. Salaries for top of the heap government employees such as judges and managers of large departments with budgets in the tens or hundreds of millions rarely get more than $150K, whereas similar people would get much more in the private sector. Of course the job security differences are vast, and government workers are one of the very few classes of workers left in the economy who have any actual job security long term at all. -- Dave Emery N1PRE, die(a)die.com DIE Consulting, Weston, Mass.
