Aboriginal voting and the 1967 Referendum
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear One Nation supporter in NSW I would draw your attention to the following press release by Pauline Hanson today: Aboriginal voting and the 1967 Referendum It is clear Pauline Hanson is often misrepresented by the press and the recent headlines headlines that suggest she questioned Aboriginal Australian's rights to vote is yet another example of selective reporting. Is this because of the search for what will be the most inflammatory or is it just that some members of the press pick out of context what they believe will do the most damage to Pauline Hanson? "I have not and would not question the right to vote of any Australian citizen. What I question is whether Australians would have thought twice about their vote in the 1967 referendum if they had known their attempt to bring about equality was going to cause the pendulum to go the other way. "The main point of the 1967 referendum was the change of section 51 of the constitution that allowed the government to make special laws with respect to Aborigines. It is from this that successive governments have created race based policies such as Abstudy and 1.5% loans for Aboriginals starting businesses. "Aboriginal Australians like all Australians should and do have the right to vote but no one should be treated differently on the basis of race - all Australians should be treated equally and the same. I am quite certain that if Australians had understood where the 1967 referendum would lead, many would have voted differently. "These special laws based on race have led to reverse discrimination and the rorting of taxpayers money without helping the Aborigines in most need. We must assist Aborigines, but as Australians in need, not on the basis of race. We must not make laws that set Australians apart and are open to abuse by those who pretend to look after the Aboriginal people. "It is often reported that I want to take benefits from Aboriginal people, that is not correct and never was correct. It is true many Aboriginal people are seriously disadvantaged but they do not have a monopoly on being disadvantaged and should not be singled out on the basis of race. Everyone should be assisted on the basis of need." Statement issued by Pauline Hanson MP, member for Oxley ----------- GWB Scott Balson

Re: GAK 4 -- For whom the Doorbell tolls
by Charlie_Kaufman＠iris.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

GAK4 is technically inaccurate but very good metaphor by which to consider this proposal. I believe this is a minor skirmish in the war between civil libertarians and Big Brother with industry playing the role of arms merchant. It is not Government Access to Keys, it is Government Access to Encrypted Data, which for everyones purposes is the same thing. In answer to the question: "Should Cisco and friends be allowed to export this technology?", of course they should. People should be allowed to export whatever they want. Even if you're Big Brother, this proposal enables all the same capabilities as GAK, so there is no reason to oppose it. In answer to the question: "Is this a 'compromise' that addresses the issues of civil libertarians?", not a bit. The devil is in the details, of course, in issues of whether the government can ask the encryption points for copies of the data in real time, in an unaudited fashion, and/or with what kind of "trusted third party" intermediaries. But these questions are exactly akin to the details to be worked out with GAK and self-escrow. In answer to the question: "Is there anything at all different between this proposal and GAK?", the answer is some, and the differences might be relevant to some. This proposal is a little better than GAK for law enforcement because it would be easier to use and they tend to be technically unsophisticated. It is a little worse than GAK for the NSA because the extra data flows mean that it is harder to conduct surveillance in a totally undetectable way. It favors some vendors over others because it favors those who want to encrypt at firewalls over those who want to encrypt end-to-end. It might slow overall progress in network security because end-to-end encryption is technically superior (though harder to deploy) and universal firewall to firewall encryption might reduce the demand for it. In answer to the question: "Would approval of this proposal be a good or a bad thing?", the answer is ambiguous for the civil libertarian side. Any time a new thing is allowed to be exported, it increases the flexibility of vendors in crafting solutions and is likely to increase overall security. On the other hand, anything which makes continuation of export controls less in-your-face-painful will decrease pressure to repeal them and therefore may in the long run decrease overall security. And anything which makes it easier to make systems secure against all attackers other than Big Brother brings closer the disasterous day when non-GAK crypto can be outlawed. If you're Big Brother, approval seems to be uniformly a good thing. It garners political points among the unsophisticated as being willing to make "technical compromises". It costs nothing in terms of access. And it may bring closer the glorious day when non-GAK crypto can be outlawed. --Charlie Kaufman

NYT Crypto OpEd
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The NYT has a fairly good OpEd on encryption today, written by a novelist, who makes a good case for the citizen's need for the privacy protection, now that there are a zillion ways computers pry into private affairs. http://www.nytimes.com For those outside the US: NYT today began its free worldwide online service, so the whole world can log on to its prying computers. (Non-USes heretofore had to pay for privacy loss.) It claims to have 4 million daily online consumers and is happy to run an advertiser drivern operation to suck in millions more around the planet. Take note, Slate.

Steve Langford for Governor
by abcdefg＠mindspring.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

FOUR REASONS TO VOTE FOR STEVE LANGFORD HE IS PRO-BUSINESS Steve Langford is the only candidate for Governor who has paid the bills of a business and passed bills in the General Assembly. Langford Construction, his family business, was awarded the Family Business of the Year Award for 1995 by the Michael J. Coles School of Business at Kennesaw State University. Steve Langford was given a score of 92% by the National Federation of Independent Business (the only other Democratic candidate for Governor in the General Assembly got 67%). HE IS PRO-CHOICE Steve Langford opposes any government interference in your right to make decisions about reproductive health--and he has the voting record to prove it: - Voted against state-mandated lectures and forced waiting periods. - Voted against--and took the Senate well to speak against--Senate Bill 357, which would have banned certain abortion procedures. The Ohio version of this bill was recently ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. HE IS PRO-ENVIRONMENT Steve Langford's Senate Bill 500 is the bill that made the City of Atlanta pay fines for polluting the Chattahoochee--and finally got the city moving toward a solution to the persistent problems of Atlanta's water and sewer systems. Why does it matter? Each time it rains more than 1/10 inch, Atlanta sewers overflow into the Chattahoochee. Of course, if you live downstream of Atlanta, you already knew that. HE IS PRO-TAXPAYER Steve Langford introduced a bill in the 1998 General Assembly that would give you a rebate when the state has a surplus (if you owed $1,000 in Georgia income taxes last year, you would have gotten a $100 rebate on your taxes). No surplus? No rebate. Makes sense, doesn't it? LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE? VISIT STEVE LANGFORD'S WEBSITE AT www.steve-langford.org GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

Langford Construction, his family business, was awarded the Family Business of the Year Award for 1995 by the Michael J. Coles School of Business at Kennesaw State University. Steve Langford was given a score of 92% by the National Federation of Independent Business (the only other Democratic candidate for Governor in the General Assembly got 67%). HE IS PRO-CHOICE Steve Langford opposes any government interference in your right to make decisions about reproductive health--and he has the voting record to prove it: - Voted against state-mandated lectures and forced waiting periods. - Voted against--and took the Senate well to speak against--Senate Bill 357, which would have banned certain abortion procedures. The Ohio version of this bill was recently ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. HE IS PRO-ENVIRONMENT Steve Langford's Senate Bill 500 is the bill that made the City of Atlanta pay fines for polluting the Chattahoochee--and finally got the city moving toward a solution to the persistent problems of Atlanta's water and sewer systems. Why does it matter? Each time it rains more than 1/10 inch, Atlanta sewers overflow into the Chattahoochee. Of course, if you live downstream of Atlanta, you already knew that. HE IS PRO-TAXPAYER Steve Langford introduced a bill in the 1998 General Assembly that would give you a rebate when the state has a surplus (if you owed $1,000 in Georgia income taxes last year, you would have gotten a $100 rebate on your taxes). No surplus? No rebate. Makes sense, doesn't it? LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE? VISIT STEVE LANGFORD'S WEBSITE AT www.steve-langford.org GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

"EFF DES Cracker" machine brings honesty to crypto debate
by John Gilmore 17 Dec '03

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 17, 1998 CONTACTS: Alexander Fowler, +1 202 462 5826, afowler(a)eff.org Barry Steinhardt, +1 415 436 9333 ext. 102, barrys(a)eff.org John Gilmore, +1 415 221 6524, gnu(a)toad.com "EFF DES CRACKER" MACHINE BRINGS HONESTY TO CRYPTO DEBATE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION PROVES THAT DES IS NOT SECURE SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today raised the level of honesty in crypto politics by revealing that the Data Encryption Standard (DES) is insecure. The U.S. government has long pressed industry to limit encryption to DES (and even weaker forms), without revealing how easy it is to crack. Continued adherence to this policy would put critical infrastructures at risk; society should choose a different course. To prove the insecurity of DES, EFF built the first unclassified hardware for cracking messages encoded with it. On Wednesday of this week the EFF DES Cracker, which was built for less than $250,000, easily won RSA Laboratory's "DES Challenge II" contest and a $10,000 cash prize. It took the machine less than 3 days to complete the challenge, shattering the previous record of 39 days set by a massive network of tens of thousands of computers. The research results are fully documented in a book published this week by EFF and O'Reilly and Associates, entitled "Cracking DES: Secrets of Encryption Research, Wiretap Politics, and Chip Design." "Producing a workable policy for encryption has proven a very hard political challenge. We believe that it will only be possible to craft good policies if all the players are honest with one another and the public," said John Gilmore, EFF co-founder and project leader. "When the government won't reveal relevant facts, the private sector must independently conduct the research and publish the results so that we can all see the social trade-offs involved in policy choices." The nonprofit foundation designed and built the EFF DES Cracker to counter the claim made by U.S. government officials that governments cannot decrypt information when protected by DES, or that it would take multimillion-dollar networks of computers months to decrypt one message. "The government has used that claim to justify policies of weak encryption and 'key recovery,' which erode privacy and security in the digital age," said EFF Executive Director Barry Steinhardt. It is now time for an honest and fully informed debate, which we believe will lead to a reversal of these policies." "EFF has proved what has been argued by scientists for twenty years, that DES can be cracked quickly and inexpensively," said Gilmore. "Now that the public knows, it will not be fooled into buying products that promise real privacy but only deliver DES. This will prevent manufacturers from buckling under government pressure to 'dumb down' their products, since such products will no longer sell." Steinhardt added, "If a small nonprofit can crack DES, your competitors can too. Five years from now some teenager may well build a DES Cracker as her high school science fair project." The Data Encryption Standard, adopted as a federal standard in 1977 to protect unclassified communications and data, was designed by IBM and modified by the National Security Agency. It uses 56-bit keys, meaning a user must employ precisely the right combination of 56 1s and 0s to decode information correctly. DES accounted for more than $125 million annually in software and hardware sales, according to a 1993 article in "Federal Computer Week." Trusted Information Systems reported last December that DES can be found in 281 foreign and 466 domestic encryption products, which accounts for between a third and half of the market. A DES cracker is a machine that can read information encrypted with DES by finding the key that was used to encrypt that data. DES crackers have been researched by scientists and speculated about in the popular literature on cryptography since the 1970s. The design of the EFF DES Cracker consists of an ordinary personal computer connected to a large array of custom chips. It took EFF less than one year to build and cost less than $250,000. This week marks the first public test of the EFF DES Cracker, which won the latest DES-cracking speed competition sponsored by RSA Laboratories (http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/) Two previous RSA challenges proved that massive collections of computers coordinated over the Internet could successfully crack DES. Beginning Monday morning, the EFF DES Cracker began searching for the correct answer to this latest challenge, the RSA DES Challenge II-2. In less than 3 days of searching, the EFF DES Cracker found the correct key. "We searched more than 88 billion keys every second, for 56 hours, before we found the right 56-bit key to decrypt the answer to the RSA challenge, which was 'It's time for those 128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys,'" said Gilmore. Many of the world's top cryptographers agree that the EFF DES Cracker represents a fundamental breakthrough in how we evaluate computer security and the public policies that control its use. "With the advent of the EFF DES Cracker machine, the game changes forever," said Whitfield Diffie, Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems and famed co-inventor of public key cryptography. "Vast Internet collaborations cannot be concealed and so they cannot be used to attack real, secret messages. The EFF DES Cracker shows that it is easy to build search engines that can." "The news is not that a DES cracker can be built; we've known that for years," said Bruce Schneier, the President of Counterpane Systems. "The news is that it can be built cheaply using off-the-shelf technology and minimal engineering, even though the department of Justice and the FBI have been denying that this was possible." Matt Blaze, a cryptographer at AT&T Labs, agreed: "Today's announcement is significant because it unambiguously demonstrates that DES is vulnerable, even to attackers with relatively modest resources. The existence of the EFF DES Cracker proves that the threat of "brute force" DES key search is a reality. Although the cryptographic community has understood for years that DES keys are much too small, DES-based systems are still being designed and used today. Today's announcement should dissuade anyone from using DES." EFF and O'Reilly and Associates have published a book about the EFF DES Cracker, "Cracking DES: Secrets of Encryption Research, Wiretap Politics, and Chip Design." The book contains the complete design details for the EFF DES Cracker chips, boards, and software. This provides other researchers with the necessary data to fully reproduce, validate, and/or improve on EFF's research, an important step in the scientific method. The book is only available on paper because U.S. export controls on encryption potentially make it a crime to publish such information on the Internet. EFF has prepared a background document on the EFF DES Cracker, which includes the foreword by Whitfield Diffie to "Cracking DES." See http://www.eff.org/descracker/. The book can be ordered for worldwide delivery from O'Reilly & Associates at http://www.ora.com/catalog/crackdes, +1 800 998 9938, or +1 707 829 0515. ********** The Electronic Frontier Foundation is one of the leading civil liberties organizations devoted to ensuring that the Internet remains the world's first truly global vehicle for free speech, and that the privacy and security of all on-line communication is preserved.

HANSON BEING BANNED: PLEASE ACT ON THIS EMAIL
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

Dear One Nation supporter in NSW, Pauline Hanson has been banned from using council facilities in her electorate of Blair. The Labor-dominated Ipswich City Council, the heart of Pauline Hanson's seat of Blair, has returned to their old politically motivated tricks against the One Nation party. With the recent Queensland State Election turning the mainstream parties on their heads the word has gone out - do anything that you can to deny One Nation their right to a "fair go". The Council allowed One Nation to use their facilities after a 6 month long ban following the breaking of a council hall window at the party's launch by protesters in April 1997. The ban was imposed on the basis of "protecting council staff from danger". http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/news/onenation/launch.html An example of recent (1998) pre-state election use by Pauline Hanson of the Ipswich City Council facilities can be seen at: http://www.gwb.com.au/onenation/qldstate/polaunch/index.htm at the above link Pauline Hanson launched One Nation's state policies without any security problems or risk to council staff. One Nation used Ipswich City Council facilities on several occasions this year without any protesters even making an appearance. The basis of "fair go" and "freedom of assembly" is equity in decision making. At a recent Labor Party meeting One Nation members demonstrated peacefully outside the council venue yet no such threat or withholding of council facilities to Labor has been suggested - nor should it. Following the State Election the rules have apparently changed. The Ipswich City Council this week rejected an application by Pauline Hanson's One Nation to use council facilities on the basis of "concern for the safety of staff". The mayor of Ipswich, John Nugent, was one of those voting against One Nation's use of council facilities. This is laughable as the last time protesters appeared at a One Nation meeting was over a year ago in June 1997. One Nation has (to ensure council staff safety) offered to supply private security and ensure that sufficient police are on standby - this offer has been rejected. The link below will take you to an image of one of the chief protagonists, Councillor Paul Tully, a Labor supporter who has made it his life ambition to destroy what Pauline Hanson and you stand for. http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/news/onenation/gold/tully.jpg Can we let him win? I don't think so. I appeal to you to write, in the strongest terms possible, to the local Ipswich paper, The Queensland Times. Their email address is: qt(a)gil.com.au Remember to keep your letter to under 200 words to ensure publication. Issues to look at: ================== 1) The damage to Ipswich's reputation through these undemocratic antics. 2) Freedom of speech. 3) Labor's underlying undemocratic motives. 4) What role the ratepayers who voted Hanson have been allowed in on this decision by the Labor council? I encourage you to send the Queensland Times an email letting them know how YOU FEEL about the Ipswich City Council's decision to prevent Pauline Hanson from using ratepayer's facilities.
