Data Fellows Premiers F-Secure VPN+
by Mia Westerholm 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

For immediate release 10 July 1998 DATA FELLOWS PREMIERES F-SECURE VPN+ New Software Line Offers IPsec-Based Strong Security for Mission Critical Networks Helsinki, Finland, July 10, 1998 -- Data Fellows, the global leader in Internet security solution development, has begun shipping its new F-Secure VPN+ product family. Compliant with the IEFT's (Internet Engineering Task Force) latest IPsec standards (Internet Protocol Security standard), F-Secure VPN+ provides a peerless software - only solution for both large corporate networks and remote or small office networking. The product line supports several different encryption algorithms, including triple DES (168-bit), DES (56-bit), Blowfish (40-446 bit), and CAST128 (40-128 bit). All VPN+ products are centrally administered with an easy-to-use policy management tool and they also support centrally managed automated installation. F-Secure VPN+ operates at the network (IP protocol) level, which is invisible at the application and end-user level. The product line does not require special hardware, and the ordinary user does not even notice its presence since it requires no changes to network applications or their configurations. F-Secure VPN+ works in conjunction with existing routers and firewalls, off- loading encryption functions from those devices. By combining the products in the F-Secure VPN+ line, companies of any size can use either the Internet or cost-effective public networks to create virtual private networks without requiring special hardware. The F-Secure VPN+ family consists of the following products: - F-Secure VPN+ Client, which operates in Windows and Solaris workstations and encrypts all data traffic from such a workstation to an F-Secure VPN+ Gateway, a server equipped with F-Secure VPN+ Server, or another workstation equipped with F-Secure VPN+ Client. - F-Secure VPN+ Server, which operates in Windows NT or Solaris servers and encrypts all data traffic from the server to workstations equipped with F-Secure VPN+ Client. - F-Secure VPN+ Gateway, which encrypts all data traffic from a LAN through a WAN using the IPsec protocol to other LANs, or to workstations equipped with encryption software. A user can connect to a VPN+ Gateway using either another VPN+ Gateway or VPN+ Client. - F-Secure VPN+ Enterprise Gateway, which encrypts all data traffic from a Local Area Network (LAN) through a Wide Area Network (WAN) using the IPsec protocol to other LANs, and to workstations equipped with encryption software. The Enterprise version allows simultaneous connections from both VPN+ Clients and VPN+ Gateway devices. "What is revolutionary about F-Secure VPN+ is that a virtual private network can now be built cost-effectively between just two workstations," says Mr. Teemu Lehtonen, Product Manager for Data Fellows. "This is great news for small and medium sized organizations. Large organizations can also utilize F-Secure VPN+ to extend their corporate network to sites outside the corporate domain." F-Secure VPN+ integrates fully with the recently-introduced Data Fellows' F-Secure FileCrypto and F-Secure Anti-Virus products. Together, these products offer the most complete security solution for modern corporations. The products support centralized policy based management. F-Secure VPN+ is available from Data Fellows' resellers around the world. The products have been tested for interoperability with almost 20 other vendors' (including Cisco Systems, IBM and Check Point) IPsec-standardized products. About Data Fellows Data Fellows is one of the worlds leading developers of data security software. The companys groundbreaking F-Secure products provide a unique combination of globally available strong encryption and revolutionary anti-virus software.

FOIA, Navajo code talkers, Rule 54(b) and PROGRESS
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Friday 7/10/98 7:39 AM John Young I am reading http://www.jya.com/nsa-foia-req.htm This FOIA stuff appears to be catchy. Will you do a pro se lawsuit in case NSA does not come across? There is some great stuff on the web on on that subject. http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm I just found navahode.htm Navaho Code Expert Dies June 26, 1998 http://www.jya.com/navahode.htm NavaJo is spelled different in the southwest. Carpet intaller George Chavez junior told me yesterday that his father George senior was a code talker. I told Chavez I would send him a copy of what you posted. Chavez told me that Carl Gorman, RC Gorman's father http://www.iwaynet.net/~sabrina/gorman.html was also a code talker. Chavez commented that RC is a 'bit wierd.' Chavez is an UNMISTAKABLE Navajo native American - complete with LONG pony tail. Native Americans in the southwest frequently have TWO names. One an anglo or hispanic name and one their native American name. Like Star Road or White Sun made famous by Taos NM artist Blumenschein. I'll have to ask Chavez if he has another name. Life is to short to do everything in line. I lead multiple lives, that is why I have more adventures. Adam Fortunate Eagle, New Mexican, Sunday, 21 Aug 94 Morales and I believe we are going to win our lawsuits a result of technical legal mistakes made both in district court and the two SHOW CAUSE orders I mailed to you. Partial rulings can cause problems. Rule 54(b) is VERY COMPLEX. Life is ABOUT back to normal. First there was PATTY'S floor tile project in about March. Then the trip to Austin to see our kids and new granddaughter Then there was THE FLOOD. Which was CAUSED BY A MICROCONTROLLER SOFTWARE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION ERROR - blunder! And perhaps some DEFICIENT washing machine hardware design too. Next was the about month delay caused by getting the Allstate insurance adjuster to come around to the carpet sellers, our, and the Allstate insurance agent way of thinking about how much Allstate should pay. Next was the several week delay ordering the carpet. Last Thursday the downstairs carpet got installed. Thursday, also, I spent in the ER - which stopped the Friday carpet completion project. So yesterday the carpet installers finished. Looks GREAT! And both the carpet installers were real nice guys. And some legal filings while all of the other above was going on. So the next two orders of business are 1 finish the digital FX 2 conclude our legal fights with SETTLEMENT - before things get WORSE. On your NSA FOIA I suggest that you seek a waiver of fees since the material you seek benefits the public. I just saw http://www.jya.com/crypto.htm DoE: Pay Bill Payne DoJ: Free Jim Bell DoJ: Free Kevin Mitnick THANK YOU. Best bill

Mixmaster protocol
by ulf＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I'd like to get feedback on the clarity of this draft describing the Mixmaster protocol. I'll post the proposed extensions for version 3 later. Mixmaster Protocol ================== Abstract Most e-mail security protocols only protect the message body, leaving useful information such as the the identities of the conversing parties, sizes of messages and frequency of message exchange open to adversaries. This document describes Mixmaster, a mail transfer protocol designed to protect electronic mail against traffic analysis. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. The Mix-Net Protocol 2.1 Message Creation 2.2 Remailing 3. Message Format 3.1 Cryptographic Algorithms 3.2 Packet Format 3.2.1 Header Chart Format 3.2.2 Body Format 3.3 Mail Transfer Encoding 3.5 Transfer through Socket Connections 4. Key Format 5. References 1. Introduction This document describes a mail transfer protocol designed to protect electronic mail against traffic analysis. Most e-mail security protocols only protect the message body, leaving useful information such as the the identities of the conversing parties, sizes of messages and frequency of message exchange open to adversaries. Message transmission can be protected against traffic analysis by the mix-net protocol. A mix (remailer) is a service that forwards messages, using public key cryptography to hide the correlation between its inputs and outputs. If a message is sent through a sequence of mixes, one trusted mix is sufficient to provide anonymity and unobserveability of communications against a powerful adversary. Mixmaster is a mix-net implementation for electronic mail. This document describes version 2 of the Mixmaster message format. 2. The Mix-Net Protocol The mix-net protocol [Chaum] allows to send messages while hiding the relation of sender and recipient from observers (unobserveability). It also provides the sender of a message with the ability to remain anonymous to the recipient (sender anonymity). If anonymity is not desired, authenticity and unobserveability can be achieved in the same time by transmitting digitally signed messages. This section gives an overview over the protocol used in Mixmaster. The message format is specified in section 3. 2.1 Message Creation To send a message, the user agent splits into parts of fixed size, which form the bodies of Mixmaster packets. If sender anonymity is desired, care should be taken not to include identifying information in the message. The message may be compressed. The sender choses a sequence of up to 20 remailers for each packet. The final remailer must be identical for all parts of the message. The packet header consists of 20 charts. For a sequence of n remailers, header charts n+1, ... , 20 are filled with random data. For all charts i := n down to 1, the sender generates a symmetric encryption key, which is used to encrypt the body and all following header charts. This key, together with other control information for the remailer, is included in the i-th header chart, which is then encrypted with the remailer's public key. The message is sent to the first remailer in an appropriate transport encoding. To increase reliability, multiple copies of message may be sent through different paths. The final remailer must be identical for all paths, so that duplicates can be detected and the message is delivered only once. 2.2 Remailing When a remailer receives a message, it decrypts the first header chart with its private key. By keeping track of a packet ID, the remailer verifies that the packet has not been processed before. The integrity of the message is verified by checking the packet length and verifying message digests included in the packet. Then the first header chart is removed, the others are shifted up by one, and the last chart is filled with random padding. All header charts and the message body are decrypted with the symmetric key found in the header. This reveals a public key-encrypted header chart for the next remailer at the top, and obscures the old top header chart. Transfer encoding is applied to the resulting message. The remailer collects several encrypted messages before sending the resulting messages in random order. Thus the relation between the incoming and outgoing messages is obscured to outside adversaries even if the adversary can observe all messages sent. The message is effectively anonymized by sending it through a chain of independently operated remailers. 2.3 Message Reassembly When a packet is sent to the final remailer, it contains a flag indicating that the chain ends at that remailer, and whether the packet contains a complete message or part of a multi-part message. If the packet contains the entire message, the body is decrypted and after reordering messages the plain text is delivered to the recipient. For partial messages, a packet ID is used to identify the other parts as they arrive. When all parts have arrived, the message is reassembled and delivered. If the parts do not arrive within a time limit, the message is discarded. Only the last remailer in the chain can determine whether packets are part of a certain message. To all the others, they are completely independent. If necessary, the reassembled message is decompressed before sending it to the recipient. When anonymous messages are forwarded to third parties, the final remailer should ensure that the sender cannot supply header lines that indicate a false identity or send Usenet control messages that may have security implications. Appropriate information about the origin of the message should be inserted in the Comments: header line of the message. If the recipient does not wish to receive anonymous messages, the remailer can ensure authenticity be verifying that the message is cryptographically signed [RFC 1991, RFC 2311] by a known sender. 3. Message Format 3.1 Cryptographic Algorithms The asymmetric encryption operation in Mixmaster version 2 uses RSA with 1024 bit RSA keys and PKCS #1 padding [RFC 2313]. The symmetric encryption uses EDE 3DES with cipher block chaining (24 byte key, 8 byte initialization vector) [Schneier]. MD5 [RFC 1321] is used as the message digest algorithm. 3.2 Packet Format A Mixmaster packet consists of a header containing information for the remailers, and a body containing the payload. To ensure that packets are undistinguishable, the size of these encrypted data fields is fixed. The packet header consists of 20 header charts (specified in section A.2) of 512 bytes each, resulting in a total size of 10240 bytes. The header charts and the body are encrypted with symmetric session keys specified in the first header chart. 3.2.1 Header Chart Format Public key ID [ 16 bytes] Encrypted session key length [ 1 byte ] RSA-encrypted session key [ 128 bytes] Initialization vector [ 8 bytes] Encrypted header section [ 328 bytes] Padding [ 31 bytes] Total size: 512 bytes A random 24 bit Triple-DES key is encrypted with RSA, resulting in 1024 bit of encrypted data. The header section encrypted with this session key is: Packet ID [ 16 bytes] Triple-DES key [ 24 bytes] Packet type identifier [ 1 byte ] Packet type 0: 19 Initialization vectors [152 bytes] Remailer address [ 80 bytes] Packet type 1: Message ID [ 16 bytes] Initialization vector [ 8 bytes] Packet type 2: Packet number [ 1 byte ] Number of packets [ 1 byte ] Message ID [ 16 bytes] Initialization vector [ 8 bytes] Timestamp [ 7 bytes] (optional) Message digest [ 16 bytes] Total size: Type 0: 297 bytes (+ 7 if timestamp is used) Type 1: 81 bytes (+ 7 if timestamp is used) Type 2: 83 bytes (+ 7 if timestamp is used) This data structure is padded to 328 bytes. Packet ID: randomly generated packet identifier. Key: symmetric key used to encrypt the following header charts and the body. Packet type identifier: Intermediate hop 0 Final hop 1 Final hop, partial message 2 Initialization vectors: For packet type 1 and 2, the IV is used to symmetrically encrypt the body. For packet type 0, there is one IV for each of the 19 following header charts. The IV for 19th header chart is also used for the body. Remailer address: address of next hop. Message ID: randomly generated identifier unique to (all packets of) this message. Packet number: Sequence number used in multi-packet messages. Number of packets: Total number of packets. Timestamp: A timestamp is introduced with the byte sequence (48, 48, 48, 48, 0). The following two bytes specify the number of days since Jan 1, 1970, given in little-endian byte order. A random number of up to 3 may be substracted from the number of days in order to obscure the origin of the message. Digest: MD5 digest computed over the preceding elements of the encrypted header section. Header charts 2 .. 20 and the body each are decrypted separately using the respective initialization vectors. 3.2.2 Body Format Number of destinations [ 1 byte] Destination addresses [ 80 bytes each] Number of header lines [ 1 byte] Header lines [ 80 bytes each] Payload [ any size] Destination addresses are Internet mail addresses. Additionally, the following special destinations are defined: null: Dummy message, will be discarded by the final mix. post: newsgroup Message will be posted to Usenet. The payload may be compressed using GZIP [RFC 1952] if the capabilities attribute of the final remailer contains the flag "C". When compressing the message, the operating system field must be set to Unix, and file names must not be given. The remailer treats messages beginning with the GZIP identification header (31, 139) as compressed. The resulting message is split into chunks of 10236 bytes. To each chunk, its length is prepended as a 4 byte little-endian number to form the body of a Mixmaster packet. 3.3 Mail Transfer Encoding Mixmaster packets are sent as text messages [RFC 822]. The body has the following format: :: Remailer-Type: Mixmaster [version number] -----BEGIN REMAILER MESSAGE----- [message length] [message digest] [encoded message] -----END REMAILER MESSAGE----- The length field always contains the decimal number "20480", since the size of Mixmaster messages is constant. The MD5 message digest [RFC 1321] of the message is encoded as a hexadecimal string. The message itself is encoded in base 64 encoding [RFC 1421] and broken into lines of 40 characters. 4. Key Format Remailer public key files consist of a list of attributes and a public RSA key: [attributes list] -----Begin Mix Key----- [key ID] [length] [encoded key] -----End Mix Key----- The attributes are listed in one line separated by spaces: identifier: a human readable alphabetical string identifiying the remailer address: the remailer's Internet mail address key ID: public key ID version: the Mixmaster version number capabilities: flags indicating additional capabilites of the remailers The identifier consists of alphanumeric characters, begining with an alphabetic character. It must not contain whitespace. The encoded key packet consists of two bytes specfying the key length (1024 bits) in little-endian byte order, and of the RSA modulus and the public exponent in big-endian form using 128 bytes each, with preceding null bytes where necessary. The packet is encoded in base 64, and broken into lines of 40 characters each. Its length (258 bytes) is given as a decimal number. The key ID is the MD5 message digest of the reprentation of the RSA public key (not including the length bytes). It is encoded as a hexadecimal string. The capabilities field is optional. Clients should ignore unknown flags. The following flags are used in version 2.0.4: C accepts compressed messages. M will forward messages to another mix, when used as the final hop. Nm supports posting to Usenet throught a mail-to-news gateway. Np supports direct posting to Usenet. Digital signatures [RFC 1991] should be used to ensure the authenticity of the key files. 5.

Spend Extra Time With Your Family.
by remove00012＠usa.net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear Prospective Entrepreneur; I have been an attorney for 26 years, but recently I joined a company which is only 3 years old, and is growing at a fantastic rate; in fact, after only 10 months old, it was featured in SUCCESS MAGAZINE, and it has been the #1 rated network marketing opportunity for the last three years. What makes this company and this opportunity I am offering you so great, is the fact that we (Marketing Executives) have "EXCLUSIVE" marketing rights in the United States to new miracle products that are providing dramatic benefits to people who have two of the worst diseases known to mankind. Americans who learn about and need our products, can only get them through us, and not from other companies, or the corner drug store. After getting into other companies in the last several years, and going from company to company, and product to product (mostly companies that failed, or had falsely advertised products), I finally found this company that is truly "CREDIBLE," has tremendous products, a great compensation plan, and, best of all, my customers are calling me back month after month. Since the products actually sell themselves, I'm NOT constantly on the phone, or forever hustling all my relatives and friends. Products that make people feel better (especially natural products that have no side effects, and do have a 60 day money back guarantee) cause people to call me every month, instead of me calling them. Our "exclusive" and "patented" all natural products have also gone through the double blind clinical studies and have produced unbelievable sales in foreign markets, and have only recently been introduced into the United States, so our timing is also perfect. If you are interested in trying our products and/or looking at this business opportunity, call me toll-free at 888-203-6668 and leave your name, telephone number, and/or your address if you want more information. You also can respond to this e-mail if you so wish. If you are ready to make some changes in your life, free up some time to spend with your family, and make some extra money, call me or e-mail me. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE? I made that same call a few months ago, and I promise, you will be happy to hear more about this tre- mendous company, its great products, and about how easy it will be for you to make that extra money. Thanks, Clyde Fontenot This message is brought to you from Clyde Fontenot, Attorney, 504 W. Main St., Ville Platte,LA.70586, 318-363-5535. If you would like to be removed from future e-mails, please "reply" with the word REMOVE in the subject of your reply message.

RE: Junger et al.
by Martin Minow 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

My declaration for the Junger lawsuit (available on jya.com) touched on these issues, but the court chose not to accept my reasoning. My quick reading of the decision is that the court took note that sourc and object code are functional (they control a computer), and chose to ignore their ability to express an algorithm and, hence, to communicate the substance of an encryption algorithm to another human being. The court also appears to assume that, because computer source code requires technical skill and training understand, it somehow loses its First Amendment privileges: this I find confusing.

The Australia/Israel Review list and Jetset Travel
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear One Nation supporter in NSW, It should be noted by One Nation supporters that the man behind the Australia/Israel Review, Mr Leibler, is one of the men behind Jetset Travel. When booking your next holiday trip I would ask you to consider what Leibler's views are on the publication of the list of the names and Suburbs of 2000 One Nation members and donors in the Australia/Israel Review. Mr Leibler said the decision to publish the list of members and donors was in the interests of "political transparency". He said concerns about privacy had been met by not publishing full addresses and telephone numbers. What Leibler failed to mention is that they published the suburbs that members live in. Many One Nation members had phone calls from the media - contacts made directly through the list published by the Australia/Israel Review. The Australia/Israel Review has since shelved plans to publish the names of One Nation's remaining 8,000 members. Mr Leibler said: "We feel we have made our point." Perhaps it is time for One Nation supporters to make their point? Jetset can be contacted on: info(a)jetset.com.au GWB Scott Balson

A Note to 'Nobody'
by StanSqncrs＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hey 'Nobody' (tcmay(a)got.net (Tim May)), you may as well stop sending me all your junk mail. Since you've resorted to attempting to get me kicked off of AOL for responding to individual pieces of it (Cypherpunks, that's a lie. He did that attempt in an attempt to get my website kicked off of AOL), I'm simply deleting everything that comes in from all the anon. remailing services without reading it. If you don't have enough guts to put a return address on your mail, obviously, you aren't worth reading. Stan, Stan and the Sequencers http://members.aol.com/StanSqncrs/

DirFBI: Danger of Encryption
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New York Times, July 12, 1998: Danger of Encryption To the Editor: Re "Privacy in the Digital Age" (editorial, July 6): No law enforcement agency is "trying hard to prevent the growing use of encryption." But encryption represents a serious public safety concern. We are open to any solution that recognizes that it is the ability to collect electronic evidence that has allowed us to prevent airliners from being bombed and to put major drug dealers behind bars. Key escrow is one possible solution. There are others, and certainly a statutory scheme can be devised that will all but eliminate any risk of abuse by law enforcement. But if we do not allow for court-ordered access, for the first time in the history of this country a court order for seizure of evidence will be an absolute nullity. We want to work with industry on a real solution, recognizing that those who acquire encryption over the Internet or from abroad naively make assumptions about the security it affords. We are not fighting encryption, but we know what will happen if technology cannot be made to work for law enforcement as it works for criminals and terrorists. Louis J. FREEH Dir., Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, July 10,1998

RSA DES Challenge starting!
by Trei Family 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I'd like to remind people that Monday, July 13th, 1998, RSA Data Security is releasing the challenge data for the next RSA DES Challenge (the brute force solution of a DES encrypted message). For more information on this challenge, please see http://www.rsa.com. The prize stands at 10,000 USD for the first solution found within 10 days. If wish to attempt the challenge by yourself, I reccomend that you look at Svend Mikkelsen's Bryddes (http://inet.uni2.dk/~svolaf/des.htm) which is by far the fastest Intel implementation I know of - considerably better than my own Deskr. If you're interested in a joint effort, you could do worse than look at http://distributed.net. This group won the RC5-56 and January 1998 DES challenges, and are currently working on RC5-64. Their clients will automatically switch over to DES Monday morning. It looks like they should attain around 86 billion keys/second, which will exhaust the keyspace in under 10 days. However, only a fraction of the prize money goes to the person who finds the key. Cracking DES in these challenges serves a higher purpose than winning a prize or gaining bragging rights. Single DES (the kind used in this challenge) is the strongest general purpose encryption which Americans are currently permitted to send overseas without special and rarely granted waivers. As a result, the US government is turning over the world market in high quality cryptography to non-US firms, with a cost of billions of dollars a year to the US economy, thousands of American jobs, and increased crime and terrorism resulting from the poor security this policy promotes. Demonstrating how vulnerable US 'export quality' encryption actually is creates pressure to remove those restrictions entirely. I regard this as a desirable goal. Peter Trei trei(a)ziplink.net
