Amway and Brave Combo Evidence Update
by StanSqncrs＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

On that page I point to with the X-tian fish discussion, I linked the "moderator nazi" with the right-wing because of his use of this symbol "&" to replace the "And" in "Andy". I have come to learn, it's got 2 meanings. It looks like the symbol for the "Know-nothing" movement is - "K & N". Of course, to know the significance of that, you have to know something about the "Know-nothing" movement. I think anyone that's ever observed many of the lists around, will see some remarkable similarities. Check this out - ==== Know-nothing (1827) 1 a : IGNORAMUS b: AGNOSTIC 2 cap K & N : a member of a 19th century secret American political organization hostile to the political influence of recent immigrants and Roman Catholics Know-nothingism (1854) 1 cap K & N : the principles and policies of the Know- Nothings 2 : the condition of knowing nothing or desiring to know nothing or the conviction that nothing can be known with certainty esp. in religion or morality 3 often cap K & N : a mid-twentieth century political attitude characterized by anti=intellectualism, exaggerated patriotism, and fear of foreign subversive influences Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition ==== 'Know-Nothing' Movement U.S. political movement in the mid-19th cent. The increased immigration of the 1840s had resulted in concentrations of Roman Catholic immigrants in the Eastern cities. The Democrats welcomed them, but local nativist societies were formed to combat "foreign" influences and uphold the "American" view. The American Republican party, formed (1843) in New York, spread to neighboring states as the Native American party and became a national party in 1845. Many secret orders sprang up, and when outsiders made inquiries of supposed members, they were met with a statement that the person knew nothing; hence members were called Know-Nothings. The Know-Nothings sought to elect only native Americans to office and to require 25 years of residence for citizenship. Allied with a faction of the WHIG PARTY, they almost captured New York in the 1854 election and swept the polls in Massachusetts and Delaware. In 1855 they adopted the name American party and dropped much of their secrecy. The issue of slavery, however, split the party, and many antislavery members joined the new REPUBLICAN PARTY. Millard FILLMORE, the American party's presidential candidate in 1856, won only Maryland, and the party's national strength was broken.

If you are serious about freedom, you must go out and register to vote, and you must vote the real punks (Christian Coalition types (the CC is simply a front for the Know-nothing movement, and I'll bet you now believe me. ;-) )) out of power. They are the bastards that are controlling speech (and thought, IMHO) on that Camelogue list (the Humpheads). AND they were doing the same thing on that Brave Combo list (The Bucketheads gang that I seem to have incapacitated. Hey, can I say that I saved the Brave Combo? ;-) ) And the evidence is on Brave Combo cds. Not only the one that I'm on, but now that I've gone in looking at it from this angle, I see they've been documenting the invasion of the Bucketheads for 10 years. It starts with Humansville with the cover showing a "the" 'beast', IMHO raising it's ugly head out of the water. Also on that one, is a song called "Move" which starts with a message that was left on Jeffrey Barnes answering machine one night, that threatened him to turn down his music. There was no music being played in his house that night. They were trying to tell him to censor the Brave Combo. I haven't had a chance to search that album for other stuff yet. Those were the obvious things. The theme continues for the next 4 Brave Combo (only (they were doing collabarations also during this period)) studio releases. Since yous guys are Cypherpunks, I'm not gonna give you that many more clues (for right now, there are some songs patterned after certain specific Bucketheads that you probably won't get the connection, but if you think of various folk you've met on the net, I'll bet you find some remarkable similarities in the lyrics/titling/liner notes) So, it continues on to the next ones (and in this order) - Night On Earth No No No-Cha Cha Cha Polkas For A Gloomy World (BTW: Grammy nominated, lost (probably due to the Know-nothings. Study this one's liner notes VERY carefully (and Mystery Spot Polka lyrics for sure)) And up to the one I'm on - 'Group Dance Epidemic - Fun ...... and Functional!' Those are all excellent cds, but if you don't want to spend the money, all of the lyrics are on the Discography page (http://www.brave.com/bo/discography/) at the official website (which the Bucketheads still seem to have some control of. How do I know? Guess which lyrics they DON'T have there. The Jeffrey. (and other reasons) I forced them to put the Mystery Spot Polka's lyrics up there when I attempted to discuss it on the list (and I was censored.) They had to try to show that it wasn't being censored.) So, I'll post my interpretation of The Jeffrey because of that - ===== The Jeffrey (Barnes, Cripps, Finch, Hernandez - Wise Monkey Music) (Jeffrey (spoken)) I am the master of my own universe And I dance just as good as I want to ====== I am a genius because I want to be ==== I have created a dance in my own image Look at me! ====== I have written a song and dance just like me, I expect all BRAVE Combo fans to look for it's meaning! I'm not happy! (see insert photo of the Part 1 (The) Jeffrey) ==== (backup) One, two, three, four ====== I want you to analyze my song and dance line-by-line. ==== Nothing ((backup) Nada) ====== I'm waiting. I've been waiting. ==== Amazing! ====== Wow! Someone came along and analyzed my song, and (pretty much) nailed it! ==== How can you tell the dancer from the dance. ====== That is what is revealed by careful analysis of my song - how YOU can know about certain-type of people that "lurk (dictionary definition)" the Brave Combo list ==== (girl) moans - Oh, Oh, Oh Oh Jeff, your dance is devine ==== I like your song, Jeff (SERIOUSLY! :-) (I really mean this, Combo fans! ;-) )) ====== Teach me to dance Jeffrey ==== I want to learn how to tell the difference between reality and perception of reality ====== Move my body with your hands ==== Dazzle me with how simple it all is ====== How should I move my hips? ==== How can I learn how to do that? ====== (Jeffrey) Your hips will take care of themselves. ==== Jeffrey's answer - Join FreeGroup (http://members.aol.com/whtsametau/FreeGroup.html) and/or Visit What's A Meta U (http://members.aol.com/WhtsAMetaU/) ====== (backup (sung)) Your hips will take care of themselves ==== Hippies will take care of themselves ====== (Jeffrey) 'Hip'ssssssss ==== Hippies ====== Creator ==== Yes, he's the creator of his song and dance. The song describes a dance created by man, the "Know-nothing" movement (otherwise known around here as the "Chicken" Coalition). The dance is, well, I've already given you a hint as to where that is, Cypherpunks! ====== Nowwwww. Resume the active things! ==== Get off of your butts and stop being politically apathetic. NOW! Take these guys out of power (they're preventing you from expressing yourself, and they're trying with all their might to prevent Jeffrey (Carl, etc.) from expressing himself) ====== (backup (sung)) Hips will take care of themselves Hips ==== Hippies ====== I am the master of my own universe And I dance just as good as I want to ==== I am a (UNDISPUTED) genius, because I used my own free will to decide to play the 'United Snakes ... ' ;-) in the BRAVE Combo (he plays 2 saxaphones at the same time. In harmony) ====== I have created a dance in my own image ==== My song and dance is just like me. ====== LOOK AT ME! ==== He's Mad! Only one Combo fan knowing the true meaning of his song and dance is NOT good enough for a genius! Analyze his song and dance. He's waiting. A review of recent history reveals that Brave Combo fans that truly 'get' their music are HIGHLY rewarded. (liner notes) The band once discovered Jeffrey Barnes doing this dance all by himself in a corner. He denies all responsibility, as his conscious mind was elsewhere at the time. Part I All dancers get on dance floor (with great enthusiasm) 1. Do nothing. 2. Stand with your arms folded across your chest. 3. Shift your weight from one leg to another 4. Exhibit all symptoms of extreme boredom. When this becomes unbearable, move on to Part II. ====== Part I represents 'closed-mindedness'/censorship/Bucketheads ==== Part II 1. Put fist out with thumbs up. 2. Attach your thumbs to turntables in your mind. 3. Rotate your thumbs clockwise. ====== Check out the right ==== 4. Rotate your thumbs counter-clockwise. ====== Check out the left ==== 5. Your hips will want to wiggle, let them. ====== But Hippies will want to investigate things other than just left and right, you better let them. :-) ==== When this becomes unbearable, return to Part I. ====== Part II represents "open-mindedness"/freedom/Stan ==== Repeat Part I and Part II until you wish to stop. ====== So you Bucketheads can do your 'dance' for as long as you want, but while you're doing that, us Hippies will take care of ourselves. Stan ============ Various lines in there refer to various posts that I posted during that so- called "flame" war. If anyone wants to see a few of those, let me know. "I want you to know", that compared to breaking the Buckethead gang, getting on that cd meant very little to me, except, that it was designed as a tool for me to use against the Know-nothings. I think I'll go post that over on the Brave Combo list. 'Tis a shame that my only audience, is the Bucketheads (and the Camelogue moderator nazi is lurking (dictionary definition) the list.). The Bucketheads ran everyone who wouldn't "drink" with them off. Guess what, Cypherpunks. I'm betting that 95% of the music (probably other forums as well (Republicans For All Americans is one I know about for sure)) lists (and websites) are in control of the "Know-nothings." We have got to get those kooks out of power, or it will be too late. It's VERY possible that your favorite musicians are trying to send secret messages out to thier fans through their music/lyrics and cover art, personal notes, etc., on this very same subject matter. Look for these clues to find out if your favorite bands lists/websites have the same "pesky" problem. They can't tell you outright because they got Know-nothing goons watching 'em. "That's all we know." Serious shit, Sherlock(s)! Stan

Spiking keyboards, digital cash, appeals, shift registers
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Monday 6/8/98 7:53 AM John Young I am reading http://jya.com/sitesec.htm a bit more carefully. You have NEVER WRITTEN SO MUCH. Fishing was great. I used a $10 THE INSTANT CALLING CARD [TM] VOCALL COMMUNICATIONS CORP The World's Most advanced prepaid Calling Card which allows access with a pin of 718-2455-7091-xxx [my SECRET] in ENGLISH, SPANISH, ARABIC, URDU, KOREAN, JAPANESE, GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN to call you TWICE on Saturday. At only $.14/min. I left one message about Xandi and spiking computer keyboards. Xandi MADE low-power transmitters, http://www.gernsback.com/HyperNews/get/forums/resource/226.html like the kind I MIGHT use IF I were going to spike a keyboard [most which use an 8051 http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2] so that the keystrokes would be broadcast. This, of course, defeats crypto attempts to cipher keystrokes. But I DO NOT DO, or have to do, ILLEGAL THINGS for the FBI or any other government agency. I, as a DOE contractor employee, was protected under 10 CFR 708. http://av.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=10+cfr+708&hc=0&hs=0 But 10 CFR 708 does not appear to be working well in my case. Therefore, we had to try other remedies. VOCALL is getting real close to digital cash, one of Orlin Grabbe's interests. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/dcguide.htm I have to do mostly technical work on the digital FX this week but will try to get two notices of appeal to the Tenth circuit written. http://jya.com/whp043098.htm Morales and I, with all the publicity you and Orlin have given us, can go all the way to the Supreme Court with our genocide and crypto deficiency lawsuits. http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm Pro se, of course. Too bad NSA did not take my criticisms of its shift register work more constructively. http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm, click on Appendix S Perhaps NSA should have worked with some of us at Sandia to come-up with fixes to overcome deficiencies. This unpleasantness could have been avoided. Ive had ideas to improve shift register algorithm operation before. http://www-hto.usc.edu/software/seqaln/doc/html/gfsr.3.html Lets all hope for settlement of this UNFORTUNATE matter before it gets worse.

Campaign Against Global War on Drugs
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The New York Times today has a two-page ad: "We believe the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself," with a letter to UN Secretary General Annan signed by hundreds from around the world, across the political spectrum. Web site for list and invitation to sign: http://www.lindesmith.org/news/un.html Public Letter to Kofi Annan June 1, 1998 Mr. Kofi Annan Secretary General United Nations New York, New York United States Dear Secretary General, On the occasion of the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Drugs in New York on June 8-10, 1998, we seek your leadership in stimulating a frank and honest evaluation of global drug control efforts. We are all deeply concerned about the threat that drugs pose to our children, our fellow citizens and our societies. There is no choice but to work together, both within our countries and across borders, to reduce the harms associated with drugs. The United Nations has a legitimate and important role to play in this regard -- but only if it is willing to ask and address tough questions about the success or failure of its efforts. We believe that the global war on drugs is now causing more harm than drug abuse itself. Every decade the United Nations adopts new international conventions, focused largely on criminalization and punishment, that restrict the ability of individual nations to devise effective solutions to local drug problems. Every year governments enact more punitive and costly drug control measures. Every day politicians endorse harsher new drug war strategies. What is the result? U.N. agencies estimate the annual revenue generated by the illegal drug industry at $400 billion, or the equivalent of roughly eight per cent of total international trade. This industry has empowered organized criminals, corrupted governments at all levels, eroded internal security, stimulated violence, and distorted both economic markets and moral values. These are the consequences not of drug use per se, but of decades of failed and futile drug war policies. In many parts of the world, drug war politics impede public health efforts to stem the spread of HIV, hepatitis and other infectious diseases. Human rights are violated, environmental assaults perpetrated and prisons inundated with hundreds of thousands of drug law violators. Scarce resources better expended on health, education and economic development are squandered on ever more expensive interdiction efforts. Realistic proposals to reduce drug-related crime, disease and death are abandoned in favor of rhetorical proposals to create drug-free societies. Persisting in our current policies will only result in more drug abuse, more empowerment of drug markets and criminals, and more disease and suffering. Too often those who call for open debate, rigorous analysis of current policies, and serious consideration of alternatives are accused of "surrendering." But the true surrender is when fear and inertia combine to shut off debate, suppress critical analysis, and dismiss all alternatives to current policies. Mr. Secretary General, we appeal to you to initiate a truly open and honest dialogue regarding the future of global drug control policies - one in which fear, prejudice and punitive prohibitions yield to common sense, science, public health and human rights. ---------- There are a gang of heads of state gathering at the UN, with cavalcades of limosines and guards racing around Manhattan to indifference, except for me, the only one jumping hurray at the sirens, whirling lights and bristling vans. All the SS guys facing backwards finger shot my middle digit aimed at them, then a sniper behind me put a red dot on it, scaring me shitless, I ran home.

In a message dated 6/8/98 5:34:38 PM Central Daylight Time, hedges(a)infonex.com writes: << And Marijuana remains California's number one cash crop as long as it is illegal... documented way back when by Dukmejian's (sp) agriculture secretary, whom he fired after the report. The cops cite you, confiscate it and smoke it, and everyone's happy because they're all making $480 per ounce from the end consumer on this crazy gene-engineered greenbud designed, catalogued, and bred by the University of California biology departments (esp. Santa Cruz). If it were legal, tobacco shops would stock joints for a tenth the price... they need new markets with the stricter tobacco legislation; maybe there's a lobby. I watched Dennis Peron battle it out with some meat-fisted guy from the Sherrifs' orgs in Congress. The cop went on about how "if we decriminalize marijuana, marijuana would no longer be illegal" >> It's illegal because of 1 reason. The "Know-nothings" have control of the illegal market. It's how they invade the bands. They create a dry spell, and then they come around offering free/cheap smoke, gain the trust of the band, and then they say - 'Say, could I create a little official webpage for you? You need to be on the net anyway (the big lie). I'll take care of it all for you.' Stan

NOTICE OF APPEALs
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Tuesday 6/9/98 1:10 PM Lawyers Morales and I met for lunch today to discuss legal strategies. Morales is scheduled for a court hearing on Thursday. Therefore, it is time to increase the pressure. These cases are not going away. A fellow from Washington DC visited me some months ago. The fellow told me that LOTS of people fighting with the IRS are watching this pro se lawsuit seen at http://www.jya.com/whp052898.htm. Reason I was told is that the IRS is using lawyers to go after taxpayers. Taxpayers NOW feel that either they have to pay what the IRS DEMANDS OR get a lawyer to fight the IRS. Hiring a lawyer is usually uneconomical. And an ineffective way to fight the US government. Readers of jya.com want to learn how to do pro se lawsuits EFFECTIVELY. Morales and I are, of course, showing how to do pro se lawsuits effectively and inexpensively. Morales and I are experienced at WINNING appeals at the Tenth Circuit. http://jya.com/whp-10usca.htm But we have yet to address the problem of Tenth Circuits awarding the win to Sandia when, in fact, Sandia lost on the common technicality of not filing its Brief of the Appellees on time. Sandia did not request an enlargement of time in both our cases. In my case Sandia falsified the certificate of service. Tenth Circuit rules forbid stamping FILED on late briefs where permission to file late is not requested at least five days prior to the deadline date. We will be getting around to filing criminal complaint affidavits on the judges and clerks involved. At the right time, of course. But the time has come for Morales and I to file attached NOTICE OF APPEALs. We really should settle these unfortunate cases before matters get WORSE.

Morales will sign and I will file our joint appeal tomorrow. Morales showed me an e-mail he received from Gilmore http://www.cygnus.com/~gnu/. Gilmore apparently is not interested in pursuing a joint NSA fee waiver lawsuit. The public CAN UNDERSTAND a federal agency squandering their tax dollars on a project which did not work out for the government. Public key chips. Likewise, the public can understand how the government killed Iranians. http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm I conducted a survey on NON-TECHNICAL people to see if they understood what the government did to Iran. Everyone I talked to understood. Trying to get much subtler with crypto with the public or even judges might not work.

Differential Power Analysis
by Paul Kocher 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Information is now available online about three related attacks we have developed at Cryptography Research: Simple Power Analysis, Differential Power Analysis, and High-Order Differential Power Analysis. The basic idea of the attacks is that the power consumption of a device (such as a smartcard) is statistically correlated to the operations it performs. By monitoring the power usage (or electromagnetic radiation, etc.) during cryptographic operations, it is possible to obtain information correlated to the keys. The collected data is then analyzed to actually find the keys. The three attacks use increasingly sophisticated analysis methods. We have implemented the attack against a large number of smartcards, and have found all to be vulnerable. At this point, we do not believe that any smartcards on the market are immune to these analysis techniques. There is now an initial summary on Differential Power Analysis on our web page at http://www.cryptography.com/dpa, and more information will be put on the website as it becomes available. A condensed text version is attached below. At this point, it's fine to talk about this with anyone and to forward this message. Anything you can do to keep discussion of this technically accurate would be much appreciated. Regards, Paul Kocher --------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: Power Variation Integrated circuits are built out of individual transistors, which act as voltage-controlled switches. Current flows across the transistor substrate when charge is applied to (or removed from) the gate. This current then delivers charge to the gates of other transistors, interconnect wires, and other circuit loads. The motion of electric charge consumes power and produces electromagnetic radiation, both of which are externally detectable. Therefore, individual transistors produce externally observable electrical behavior. Because microprocessor logic units exhibit regular transistor switching patterns, it is possible to easily identify macro-characteristics (such as microprocessor activity) by the simple monitoring of power consumption. DPA type attacks perform more sophisticated interpretations of this data. Simple Power Analysis (SPA) In SPA attacks, an attacker directly observes a system's power consumption. The amount of power consumed varies depending on the microprocessor instruction performed. Large features such as DES rounds, RSA operations, etc. may be identified, since the operations performed by the microprocessor vary significantly during different parts of these operations. At higher magnification, individual instructions can be differentiated. SPA analysis can, for example, be used to break RSA implementations by revealing differences between multiplication and squaring operations. Similarly, many DES implementations have visible differences within permutations and shifts (e.g., the PC1 permutation or rotates of the C and D registers), and can thus be broken using SPA. While Cryptography Research found many smartcards to be vulnerable to SPA analysis, it is not particularly difficult to build SPA-resistant devices. The figure above [see web site] shows SPA monitoring from a single DES operation performed by a typical smartcard. The upper trace shows the entire encryption operation, including the initial permutation, the 16 DES rounds, and the final permutation. The lower trace is a detailed view of the second and third rounds. Differential Power Analysis (DPA) DPA is a much more powerful attack than SPA, and is much more difficult to prevent. While SPA attacks use primarily visual inspection to identify relevant power fluctuations, DPA attacks use statistical analysis and error correction techniques to extract information correlated to secret keys. Implementation of a DPA attack involves two phases: Data collection and data analysis. Data collection for DPA may be performed as described previously by sampling a device's power consumption during cryptographic operations as a function of time. For DPA, a number of cryptographic operations using the target key are observed. The following steps provide an example of a DPA attack process for technical readers. (More detailed information will follow in the near future.) The following explanation presumes a detailed knowledge of the DES algorithm. 1. Make power consumption measurements of the last few rounds of 1000 DES operations. Each sample set consists of 100000 data points. The data collected can be represented as a two- dimensional array S[0...999][0...99999], where the first index is the operation number and the second index is the sample. For this example, the attacker is also assumed to have the encrypted ciphertexts, C[0...999]. 2. The attacker next chooses a key-dependent selection function D. In this case, the selection function would have the form D(Ki,C), where Ki is some key information and C is a ciphertext. For the example, the attacker's goal will be to find the 6 bits of the DES key that are provided as the input to the DES S box 4, so Ki is a 6-bit input. The result of D(Ki,C) would be obtained by performing the DES initial permutation (IP) on C to obtain R and L, performing the E expansion on R, extracting the 6-bit input to S4, XORing with Ki, and using the XOR result as the input to the standard DES S4 lookup operation. A target bit (for example, the most significant bit) of the S result is selected. The P permutation is applied to the bit. The result of the D(Ki,C) function is set to 0 if the single-bit P permutation result and the corresponding bit in L are equal, and otherwise D(Ki,C) yields 1. 3. A differential average trace T[0...63][0...99999] is constructed from the data set S using the results of the function D. In particular: [See web site for formula] 4. The attacker knows that there is one correct value for Ki; other values are incorrect. The attack goal is to identify the correct value. In the trace T[i][0...99999] where i=Ki, D(i,C[k]) for any k will equal the value of the target bit in L of the DES operation before the DES F function result was XORed. When the target device performed the DES operations, this bit value was stored in registers, manipulated in logic units, etc. -- yielding detectable power consumption differences. Thus, for the portions of the trace T[i=Ki] where that bit was present and/or manipulated, the sample set T[i] will show power consumption biases. However, for samples T[i != Ki], the value of D(i,C[k]) will not correspond to any operation actually computed by the target device. As a result, the trace T[i] will not be correlated to anything actually performed, and will average to zero. (Actually, T[i != Ki] will show small fluctuations due to noise and error that is not statistically filtered out, and due to biases resulting from statistical properties of the S tables. However, the largest biases will correspond to the correct value of Ki.) 5. The steps above are then repeated for the remaining S boxes to find the 48 key bits for the last round. The attack can then be repeated to find the previous round's subkey (or the remaining 8 bits can be found using a quick search.) While the effects of a single transistor switching would be normally be impossible to identify from direct observations of a device's power consumption, the statistical operations used in DPA are able to reliably identify extraordinarily small differences in power consumption. The figure below [see web site] is a DPA trace from a typical smartcard, showing the power consumption differences from selecting one input bit to a DES encryption function used as a random number generator. (The function of D was chosen to equal the value of plaintext bit 5.) The input initial permutation places this bit as part of the R register, affecting the first-round F function computation and results. Round 2 effects (due to the use of counter mode) are also strong. The trace was produced using 1000 measurements, although the signals would be discernable with far fewer. High-Order Differential Power Analysis (HO-DPA) While the DPA techniques described above analyze information across a single event between samples, high-order DPA may be used to correlate information between multiple cryptographic suboperations. Naive attempts to address DPA attacks can introduce or miss vulnerabilities to HO-DPA attacks. In a high-order DPA attack, signals collected from multiple sources, signals collected using different measuring techniques, and signals with different temporal offsets are combined during application of DPA techniques. Additionally, more general differential functions (D) may be applied. More advanced signal processing functions may also be applied. The basic HO-DPA processing function is thus a more general form of the of the standard DPA function, for example: [see web site for formula] Today HO-DPA are primarily of interest to system implementers and researchers, since no actual systems are known that are vulnerable to HO-DPA that are not also vulnerable to DPA. However, DPA countermeasures must also address HO-DPA attacks to be effective. Solving the Problems Cryptography Research has undertaken a substantial development effort to understand hardware security issues and their countermeasures. Cryptography Research has pending patents directed to the technologies and techniques below. DPA and related attacks span the traditional engineering levels of abstraction. While many previously-known cryptanalytic attacks (such as brute force) can be analyzed by studying cryptographic algorithms, DPA vulnerabilities result from transistor and circuit electrical behaviors which propagate to expose logic gates, microprocessor operation, and software implementations. This ultimately compromises the cryptography. Techniques for addressing DPA and related attacks can be incorporated at a variety of levels: Transistor: No feasible alternatives to semiconductors are available today, but alternate computation technologies (such as pure optical computing) may exist in the future. Cryptography Research has developed gate-level logic designs that leak substantially less information. Circuit, Logic, Microprocessor, and Software: In physically large systems, well-filtered power supplies and physical shielding can make attacks infeasible. For systems with physical or cost constraints, Cryptography Research has developed hardware and software techniques that include ways of reducing the amount of information leaked, introducing noise into measurements, decorrelating internal variables from secret parameters, and temporally decorrelating cryptographic operations. In applications where attackers do not have physical possession of the device performing cryptographic operations, such techniques can be effective. However, because externally-monitorable characteristics remain fundamentally correlated to cryptographic operations, we do not recommend these approaches as a complete solution for applications where attackers might gain physical possession of devices. Software and Algorithms: The most effective solution is to design and implementing cryptosystems with the assumption that information will leak. Cryptography Research has developed approaches for securing existing cryptographic algorithms (including RSA, DES, DSA, Diffie- Hellman, ElGamal, and Elliptic Curve systems) to make systems remain secure even though the underlying circuits may leak information. In cases where the physical hardware leaks excessively, the leak reduction and masking techniques are also required. _____________________________________________________________________ Paul Kocher President, Cryptography Research Tel: 415-397-0123 (FAX: -0127) 870 Market St., Suite 1088 E-mail: paul(a)cryptography.com San Francisco, CA 94102 _____________________________________________________________________ Paul Kocher President, Cryptography Research Tel: 415-397-0123 (FAX: -0127) 870 Market St., Suite 1088 E-mail: paul(a)cryptography.com San Francisco, CA 94102

Media lies exposed
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

G'day One Nation supporters in NSW Channel 9 has embarked on a blatant campaign of misinformation against One Nation over the last two weeks. The timing in the lead up to the Queensland State election and the resulting impact on voters cannot be ignored by ANY Australian who believes in freedom of speech and the democracy that we hold so dear. Ray Martin exposed: http://www.gwb.com.au/un.html 60 Minutes discredited: http://www.gwb.com.au/60.html Below is a copy of an article that appeared in Perth's Sunday times recently. GWB Scott Balson Judge says no to black state by Joe Poprzeonzy A former Chief Justice of the Australian High Court has urged that any claims by activists for the creation of a separate Aboriginal nation or independent black states be rejected. Sir Harry Gibbs said Arnhein Land, parts of central Australia,, north west WA, islands in the Torres Strait or off northern Australia would be targeted for Aboriginal independence. In a keynote address yesterday at a Perth meeting of the influential conservative group, the Samuel Griffith Society, he said separate laws were emerging in Australia to cover black and white Australians. "There is no doubt that any claims by the Aborigional peoples to determine their own political status, and to assert a right to sovereignty or independence, must be rejected as contrary to the interests of Australia as a whole," Sir Harry said. "Just as any attempt to put the Aboriginal peoples outside the Australian nation must be firmly opposed, so should any attempt to grant statehood, or any degree of autonomy to any particular group or Aboriginal people. "It would obviously be impracticable... to grant sovereign or dominant power to the Aboriginal people in areas such as country towns in which persons entirely of European descent were as numerous as the descendants of the Aboriginal people, many of whom would themselves have had European ancestors. "Experience elsewhere has shown that associations of States, Federal or otherwise, do not endure when one state is composed of persons distinctly different in race, religion or culture from those of another. "The future existence of Australia would be put at risk if statehood or any form of autonomy were granted to small communities chosen on the grounds of race in areas of great strategic importance to this country." Sir Harry who was Chief Justice of Australia between 1981 and 1987 said some people were arguing that there was a right of self-determination within countries. He said groups were working within the UN for the development of such doctrines.

backdoor trojan in ICKill
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

----Forwarded text-------------------------------------------------- Subject: backdoor trojan in ICKill Date: Sun, 7 Jun 1998 19:44:28 -0400 From: Bachrach <bachrach(a)netreach.net> To: BUGTRAQ(a)NETSPACE.ORG First off, I'm not 100% sure if this is the apropriate forum for this since it's not really a weakness, but rather a programmer who is putting backdoors into some programs. Then again technically that's an exploits... Oh I don't know. If this is the wrong place then I apologize profusely for the waste of bandwidth and plead ignorance, but here goes: Well, chances are none of you guys have ever used this program, or even heard of it, but there are alot (35,000) of people who have. I originally downloaded it becasue I've been researching a lot of the weaknesses in the ICQ protocol, (which has become easier as time has gone on. :)) Anyway, after you run it, (ICKill), it creates a file in the directory called 1.exe that acts as a fake explorer. 1.exe accesses your regedit database, and copies itself to windows/system. It changes the regedit so that the fake one will run on startup. It acts mostly the same as the normal explorer with one very crucial execption. It contacts a host (I still can't figure out which one), and executes the commands that are embedded within a text file on the computer. Anyone see it yet? Backdoor city. I contacted the author (who left his e-mail address in the readme), and he's the one who explained th backdoor thing. He also told me a few other things that made me write up to this group. He said that he had gotten almost 35,000 different people's systems calling up his computer at one point; essentuially he has backdoors to 35,000 systems accross the globe. When I asked him why he would go through all the trouble to do this he gave me two reasons: 1. IF (and he emphasized the if) he was a hacker he could use a couple of other people's computers as hops when hacking into a system. Kind of nasty for the sysadmin trying to trace a breaking huh? 2. To quote him "And the backdoors can auto-uptade themselves.. so Imagine I can code a virus like backdoor... Whoaaa! This will be like THAT internet worm.." 3. He also said "Imagine also.. 35,000 backdoored (yeah, I reached this number) connections pinging or SYN flooding some server.." Well if anyone out there is using or has ever used ICKill then get rid of it. I have actually set up a page on this to both inform people and explain how to get rid of all traces of the program that I currently am able to at http://members.tripod.com/~hakz/ICQ/index.html That site also has all of the letters I wrote to him and he wrote to me if you want to see the entire things. It's also got some other info I couldn't fit into this message, including all of the mistakes the author made (guess he needed better beta testing). My last question is this: if one person has backdoors into thousands of computer systems, doesn't that pose some sort of risk to the interent community as a whole? There's one person who's been saying that I should notify the FBI about this. As you can see decided to start here first.
