Reinsch: Crypto export law changes soon.
by Trei, Peter 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

On NPR's "Talk of the Nation" yesterday, Bill Reinsch, who is an undersecretary for Export Administration in the Department of Commerce, stated that a change in the export regs should be expected around Labor Day. The context was that the 'promise to compromise your future products, and we'll let you export un-escrowed DES until the end of 1998' deal is running out, and BXA wants business to know (slightly) ahead of time what the new regimen will be. The entire ToTN article can be heard on Real Audio: http://www.npr.org/programs/totn/archives/1998/current.html Peter Trei ptrei(a)securitydynamics.com

illegitimate America
by attila 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I heard Clinton's voice for the first time -really- at the barbershop on Wed. I thought he was labeled a great speaker --his accent is one thing, but the resonance I expected was more nasal and hard (despite the fact he was on the attack). one thing was immediately apparent from his body language --mean, a wounded jackal, and the ominous signs of a dirty fighter just below the surface. he should have been a circus barker or patent medicine hawker. I dont remember what Clinton said as it was just the usual accusations of persecution. a made for TV president? I suppose, when you consider what TV, the potentially great teacher, degenerated to: nothing more than bread and circi, gladiators and moral decadence. the average six year old has seen 2,000 murders, many of the graphic --and then we wonder why the current generation has no concept of the value of life, or that death and sex are easy and maybe interchangeable? I read part of Clinton's text --no speech writer in Washington, even the real slime-balls, even James Carville, would, on camera, skirt the whole issue, not even admitting to the concept of a sexual affair; dismissing the faked apology in 30 seconds and then spending 3 1/2 minutes in a fierce, partisan, false-premise attack on Starr. there was a NYTimes story on Jordon. apparently Jordon dropped a bomb with the grand jury stating he had been deceived by Clinton. likewise, Betty Currie hung him out to dry and that she had been used. Jordon was not willing to take the fall for Slick Willie, or even be a part of deception. Jordon has been around too long, and is a respected part of the Washington legal crowd (well, as respectable as lawyers can ever be...). Betty Currie, black, is known as a Christian, righteous and dependable, the last stop before the boss for years --she came with Clinton from Arkansas. that man is dangerous.... Ambrose Evans-Price is back in Washington --I suppose for the kill; expect him to really start digging again to finish his prior work. Bubba is a 3 year old who has had a toy (which he stole from a 2 year old) taken away from him, and is truculently throwing his tantrum as if his g_d-given rights to rape, pillage, and burn were being trampled. I have subscribed to the oft stated presumption that Clinton is an illegitimate Rockefeller --Lawrence, Winthrop's brother. Hot Springs and the countless door openings. the story of a William Blake, a traveling salesman, was pure swamp-water; they picked Blake since he was dead --remember the second half-brother (paternal) which turned up right after election whose mother actually was married to Blake --sure like to see a DNA comparison. As a pure Poor Southern White (trailer) Trash, Clinton would never have been given the opportunities he received. Bubba has the strange mix of the trailer trash he really is and the connections of the Rockefellers. Clinton is not the only extremely intelligent child to grow up in an Arkansas trailer park, but he is probably is the only one to do more than wear his CAT or Mack cap backwards. my friend, foreign correspondent Eric Margolis said yesterday: A number of readers have reminded me I predicted four years ago Clinton would be undone by personal scandals in his second term. I didn't need a crystal ball. Having observed Clinton's career since he followed me by two years at Georgetown University, I knew he was a ruthlessly ambitious politician, whose utter lack of honesty, character, or honor would one day bring him low. consider the book Primary Colors, of which (joe?) Klein has been unmasked as the writer: it exposes the total lack of character in both Bill and Hillary --total amorality, riding scandal after scandal with plausible denials. affair after affair... and there is a white-black child in Australia, but the mother is silent --money or fear? more DNA anyone? someone else made the comment that the women consider him a likable rogue --soap opera. Clinton plays the women like violins, pressing all the hot buttons of the 25-45 class and they give him a 20-25% edge, a figure quoted by many polls and, of course, it was enough to dump "just plain ol' dull George". Margolis made another interesting (and obvious) comment: Far from the wronged, last-to-know wife, Hillary Clinton is an Arkansas Lady Macbeth. She is the guiding force behind the Clinton presidency, who accepts her husband's sleazy infidelities as a price of power. Mrs Clinton's ardent left-liberal views did not deter her from taking $100,000 in commodity payoffs from big business, spearheading the Whitewater land fraud, hiding documents from government investigators, terrorizing White House employees, or amassing illegal files on Republicans. nothing we have not known, but better stated. a way of life... can you even consider the Clintons a dysfunctional family? --it's more like something out of Charles Adams. Angela Houston played the perfect Hillary, and her sleazy husband fits Bill. it makes you wonder about Chelsea. there she was on the tarmac with her father, ugly as ever, but up front. she may have looked like she had been whupped by an ugly stick (normal), but she sure wasn't hiding --how can she return to Stanford this fall? being the daughter of a sitting President isn't easy --but Chelsea? (...and we thought Amy had a tough time...). more Margolis: The Clintons haven't yet been caught red-handed because they are both lawyers, the curse of modern America. Both knew precisely how to conceal their questionalble dealings behind an impenetrable smokescreen of legal ambiguities, how to skirt the law and avoid open illegality, to never leave written evidence. That's why the Special Prosecutor, Judge Starr, has had such a difficult time in untangling the Gordian Knot of the Clinton's finances... "...lawyers, the curse of modern America" --yes, the U.S. has honed their skill to a new and deeper cesspool, but the lawyers have been with us from antiquity --the Pharisees, for instance. well, let's see if my 1986 prediction, even before the name Clinton burst upon the national political scene, falls into place. Bush could very well be the last U.S. president to finish his elected term. any way the game plays out now is a potential disaster. Clinton is not going to leave office willingly or voluntarily and Hillary's FBI files will just be a beginning for the Republicans --even the NYTimes and Washington Post will end up looking like the National Enquirer in this blood bath. a) impeachment: James Carville will have a field day opening the Congressional sewer. Clinton will still be commander-in-chief and the U.S. will quickly be in a foreign war which will bring actual warfare to the American land. if Al Gore, with his unfolding problems, moves to 1600 Pennsylvania, the welfare state will roll out of the garage and take off --the military falling into disarray, unprepared and unsupplied to keep the lid on Pax Americana. America is not loved, probably not even by the Brits as they hang in there now since they need the company while they play standoff with the EC. b) assassination: I dont think the country could survive another one, and the results following the chaos would be the same. c) accident: there is a joke running around about Clinton visiting a class room and asking if anyone knew what a 'tragedy' was. the first child suggested when a friend is run over on a bike. Clinton said no, that would be an 'accident'. a second child suggested when a school bus went over a cliff. Clinton said no, that would be a 'great loss'. finally, a child said that a 'tragedy' was if an airplane carrying Bill and Hillary crashed and they were killed. Clinton said that yes, that would be a 'tragedy' and asked the child why that would be a 'tragedy'. "Simple", said the child, "it wouldn't be an 'accident' and it certainly would not be a 'great loss'". this begs the old joke of how do you create a "flood"...? Janet Reno has been protecting Al Gore for some several years, but the pot is beginning to show foul smelling fistules. the campaign funds sleeze which oozes out of that pot will cripple the Democratic party --the fund swapping with the Teamster president's election fund alone is pure racketeering, while the Chinese connections are treasonous. and the Democrats will retaliate in kind. you cant vote the politicians out of office --the inbred two-party (supposedly) system is self-sustaining with reformers learning very quickly that reelection is dependent on playing the line, with few notable exceptions. this collection of power hungry thieves drops sleeper legislation into unrelated laws, legislation which now brings us a national ID card by fall 2000, complete with biometrics, credit record, driving record, criminal record, medical record, and whatever else they want to slide in --the mark of the beast is upon us and "the number of the beast is six hundred three score and six". [RV 13:15-18] the American people can not win a war against Washington; Clinton and friends would not hesitate to use UN troops against American targets; and who can supply a rebel army today? is Russia going to help the "patriots" with arms and supplies and provide the clandestine radio/TV facilities? besides, Clinton's Gestapo is root out and exterminating the militias. militias composed today of only of the foolish brave. that leaves massive civil disobedience --such as withholding taxes. but joe six pack and friends are never going to accept what that means --the destruction of the U.S. infrastructure and the consequent invasion of America by her "friends" to divvy up the spoils and subjugate what's left of the population --probably less than 50 million when the cities collapse and are wasted. unfortunately, joe six pack will be trying to tune in another sitcom when it all collapses --when the cold beer runs out, he will only be confused. pessimism? I dont think so. the question is "when?" the cards are all on the table: world economics, Islamic jihad (the cruise missiles coalesced the divergent groups into even more hatred), irresolvable corruption in virtually all national governments: total instability in Russia, the Japanese "house of cards" with a gangster compromised political system which will not force the changes required, and China about to pay the piper for her financial cronyism. the "conspiracy" theorists have no clue. there is no conspiracy. it's nothing more than greedy men around the world, in concert with corrupt governments who have taken away any semblance of civilization's morality. the worldwide unfunded paper credit is bigger than even the central bankers can even conceive, let alone handle; it is estimated that 80% of the float is in paper copies of credit card debt and checks traversing the system. a 10% loss is enough to level most balance sheet. even Microsoft with its ill-gotten filthy lucre could not sustain a 20% write off, or an 80% collapse. a global crash this time around will cripple mankind, plunging the globe into starvation and disease as the infrastructure implodes. the U.S. is the most vulnerable --how many can be supported in the population centers? who survives? probably less than 1% of the urban population --lack of water, food, and sanitation; the last is the real killer. much of the third world lives in squalor; but their mortality rate will only be set back 50 years. armies move on their stomachs and require enormous supply trains of food and ammo. America settled two European wars (plus the Japanese) by being able to feed and arm both our armies and those of of our allies. consider that _one_ production line in Southern California was cranking out a new B29 every 30 minutes --48 per day-- that's production, and Rosie the Welder. and the knowledge, in wartime Germany, of another B29 every 30 minutes --from one line, was was demoralizing as the payloads were devastating. you cant do that when your infrastructure is being bombed by the continuous flow of more and more U.S. B24s and B29s --ask Germany. and then people wonder why I live in the Intermountain Empire --but probably not far enough from its borders. attila out... rant mode off.

GAH. Sorry about that truncated comment -- Morning misfire - went to postpone to look up cites and sent instead. Grumble finger macros, grumble. The upshot being that a hostile work environment/harassment case with these facts would serve as a great 'tie breaker' in any Supreme Court decision between the "code is not speech" and "code is speech" split we're seeing between federal jurisdictions. That is to say, in the American jurisprudence system, if you want something protected from prior restraint as speech, you also have to take the responsibilities the system imposes on you for the effects of that speech. -M Michael Brian Scher (MS683) | Anthropologist, Attorney, Policy Analyst strange(a)cultural.com | http://www.tezcat.com/~strange/ strange(a)uchicago.edu | strange(a)tezcat.com Give me a compiler and a box to run it, and I can move the mail.

Of most interest to me was Old mainframes make sheer size of problem nearly overwhelming By Chris Allbritton The Associated Press NEW YORK - The shear number of unique solutions needed for the Year 2000 bug, not the technical aspects, are the real problem behind this glitch in time. ... for the reason of my book and translation Machine, Assembly, and System Programming for the IBM 360, New York: Harper & Row, 1969 Programacion en Lenguaje de Maquina, Asemblador, y de Sistemas con el IBM 360, Harper & Row, 1971 In the 1970s some IBM 360/70/40xx were STILL running IBM 650 simulators which hosted code which companies did not want to rewrite! The message published in the Monday ABQ J 98 Warning! Due to serious bugs and compatibility problems, we join many other PC builders in recommending AGAINST Windows 98 at this time. http://www.c-works.com/ makes me speculate that the hardware vendors were able to try out their new hardware on DOS, Win 3.xx, 95, NT but not on 98. Since Microsoft may not have had new hardware like the AMD K6 -2 [3d], 98 was not fully exercised on the newer architectures. I will send you page on Y2K. And also the copy of NSA deputy director Barbara McNamara's wrote me a letter dated 19 August 1998. http://www.nsa.gov:8080/mission.html McNamara DENIED my fee waiver appeal for search for invoices NSA spent on public key chips. From my inside dealings with NSA's R division and Sandia employees I learned that both had some VERY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCES with public key. I am sending both you and John Young copies of NcNamara's letter. McNamara wrote, This response may be construed as a denial of your appeal. Accordingly, you are hereby advised to your right to seek judicial review of my decision pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4) (B) in the United States District Court in the district in which you reside, in which you have your principal place of business, in which the Agency's records are situated (U.S. District Court of Maryland), or in the District of Columbia. http://www.jya.com/hr105-37.txt I wonder if http://www.taliban.com/ is the real thing or an intelligence agency spy plot?

I am reading http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ Impeachment Watch The High Cost of the War on Terrorism Bill Clinton's $100 Million Crusade Against Ken Starr by Charles R. Smith August was an expensive month for the U.S. taxpayer. For example, Bill Clinton shot $100 million on August 20, 1998 at "terrorist" sites in Sudan and Afghanistan. The 79 Tomahawk cruise missiles signaled a new "war" that Bill Clinton decided to declare on terrorism and not to be confused with the $100 million White House "war" on Ken Starr. ...

A program designed to extract randomization values from the raw data for use as a cipher key could takevarious forms. One form would be to serially store non-repeating samples of data into fixed length blocks for processing, such as 8 or 16 bytes. The sampled values would then be summed, XORed, left or right shift registered (LSR/RSR), least significant bit extracted, or any combination of math processes. The resulting byte of data would then represent the combination of photon values taken over the time period of the sample. Other processes could make use of various formulas, such as lossy or LZ, to give still other values for photons taken over the selected time period of the sample. 10 CLS:DEFINT A-Y:DEFDBL Z 20 OPEN "R",#1,"TEST.WAV",1 30 FIELD #1, 1 AS D$:J=1:O=0 40 Z1 = LOF(1):ZR=64:A=0:O$="" 50 ZR=ZR+1:IF ZR>Z1 THEN GOTO 100 60 GET #1,ZR:I$=D$ 70 GOSUB 110:IF FA=0 THEN GOTO 50 80 E=E+1:IF E>255 THEN E=0 90 GOTO 50 100 CLOSE #1:STOP 110 FA=0:SK=ASC(I$)+SK:IF SK>32510 THEN SK=SK-32510 120 IF S$<>I$ THEN GOTO 130 ELSE RETURN 130 FA=1:S$=I$:A=A+1:O$=O$+I$ 140 IF A=16 THEN GOTO 160 150 RETURN 160 A=0:B=0:O= E XOR J:K=SK MOD 256:O = K XOR O 170 FOR N=1 TO 16:X$=MID$(O$,N,1) 180 B=ASC(X$):O = B XOR O 190 NEXT N:O$="" 200 IF O=J THEN RETURN 210 PRINT O;:J=O 220 RETURN I STARTED to analyze what Smiths BASIC code did.

On the other hand, if the input voltage goes SOMEWHAT LOWER, then the terminal bit MAY BE A 0 and not random. If the input voltages goes LOTS HIGHER OR LOWER than the limits, it is SAYONARA a/d converter! The Real World again. SOME NSA KG schematics Brian Snow showed me had statistical test hardware built in to ATTEMPT to detect non-random output. If the output failed the test, then the KG unit shut down. Smith, I think, has a neat idea which needs to be looked at VERY CAREFULLY. Some of us continue to feel that the crypto key must be as long as the message encrypted. As was pointed out by Gilbert S. Vernam and Joseph O. Mauborgne in 1918. Pseudorandom sequences DONT WORK VERY WELL FOR ENCRYPTION. Pcypher Light is designed to measure the number of photons from around your PC (light particles) and create a random numbers from that light. Pcypher Light is NOT just software but hardware as well. It is easy to install and use. We give you SOFTWAR's advanced technology Light Probe, a highly sensitive phototransistor, which the software samples at thousands of times per second. Think of it as a microphone for light. In fact all you have to do is plug it directly into the MIC input of any PC sound card. That is it. Run the PC Windows software and start making REAL randomized keys. NOT A PSEUDO KEY GENERATOR. Two reasons are 1 There should always be TWO KEYs. The real key and the key you claim IN A LEGAL-SENSE is the real key in case you get CAUGHT. A Nuke them B Send flowers If you send A be sure to have a B key and a receipt for the flowers. 2 Pseudorandom sequences MAY make it difficult to find the SECOND key.

Is Hate Code Speech?
by mcw＠atreus.ncs.ncsc.mil 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I've searched the web and newsgroups several times, and found no mention of "Willa Jackson". I find it unlikely that this is real. Despite my respect for Mr. Geiger, I must disagree - I don't find the suit frivolous at all. Briefly, I think that anyone who maintains software will agree that naming variables & functions by any standard other than that of their function is poor programming practice, and impedes maintenance. Clearly the authors of the code had some intent other than that of writing maintainable code. The fact that there were one or more coherent themes in the names chosen indicates that their agenda was probably coherent. The fact that management took no action when informed of this indicates a complicity. In essence, I believe that we are all entitled to a workplace free of hate, and full of respect for our professional abilities. For sheer economic reasons, I think that the management of any responsible firm will act to ensure that (respect is worth quite a few $$ in compensation). I acknowledge that you're welcome to use whatever variable names you want in code you write in private. BUt if you want to sell that code, it should be held to a standard of professionalism.

I worry that, in the process of laying all this flame-bait, y'all are hoping that naive people might think that a job where there's racial and sexual hate-speech isn't a hostile work environment. Putting this sort of language in code does not shelter it from co-workers. It doesn't matter that the offensive names weren't directed at her. It's much worse that they were directed towards an entire group. Or maybe you just admire ethnic slander in terms of cost-efficiency, a sort of more-bang-for-the-buck maximization of intolerance where it's a question of offending the greatest number with the least amount of effort, and simply admire the mechanism by which it's been accomplished? This isn't an issue of free speech. Well, maybe. The coder is free to name her/his/its variables what they like, all ethical issues aside, and equally free to live with the consequences of those actions, which should have been the company not using something so vastly unprofessional and guaranteed to eventually open them up to a suit like this. There are standards of behavior in a workplace that are slightly more restrictive than standing on a soapbox on the quad. A software company's code is an internal company document. The code that you write at home is your document. You may find this distinction instructive. I'm sorry to digress, since this isn't why the article was originally posted, but I was forced to succumb to the troll. Free speech is essential in an open society. Freedom from discrimination is essential in a democracy. Carry on. > ---------- > From: William H.

Friday 8/28/98 10:07 AM J Orlin Grabbe You may have gotten it TOO RIGHT http://www.aci.net/kalliste/apocalyp.htm Morales and I met. We got a response from a deputy clerk to our attached letter. No form for 54(b) certification and no examples. We have a plan of what to include in our response to http://www.jya.com/chrysler98.htm AND 54(b) certification. We see that we can respond by e-mail. e-mail: vhardy(a)detroit.bozell.com But we'll use certified snail mail too. Reporter Spohn of the ABQ Trib 1990 Lawrence Spohn, Albuquerque Tribune http://www.aaas.org/AAAS/awards.html http://www.atiin.com/atiin/tribune.htm http://www.abqtrib.com told me he is going to make FOIA requests for the invoices NSA spent or wasted funding public key cryptography chips TOO. Morales and I also discussed our up-coming NSA fee waiver lawsuit. NSA deputy director Barbara McNamara's wrote me a letter dated 19 August 1998. http://www.nsa.gov:8080/mission.html McNamara wrote, The key issue I considered in my review is whether disclosure of the information is likely to contribute to the public understanding of the operations or activities of the government. ... This response may be construed as a denial of your appeal. Accordingly, you are hereby advised to your right to seek judicial review of my decision pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4) (B) in the United States District Court in the district in which you reside, in which you have your principal place of business, in which the Agency's records are situated (U.S. District Court of Maryland), or in the District of Columbia. We've learned a lot with our current NSA lawsuit. So the NEXT lawsuit should be more devastating for the government. But let's hope we get this UNFORTUNATE matter settled so that we can move on to other projects.

Sincerely William H. Payne Arthur R. Morales 13015 Calle de Sandias NE 1024 Los Arboles NW Albuquerque, NM 87111 Albuquerque, NM 87107 Friday February 27, 1998 11:18 AM By e-mail and US mail Lieutenant General Kenneth A Minihan, USAF Director, National Security Agency National Security Agency 9800 Savage Road Fort George G. Meade, MD 20755-6000 Dear General Minihan: Purposes of the letter are to 1 request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2 explore settlement possibilities of our current lawsuit. In about 1986 Sandia National Laboratories assigned me the task of design and construction of a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty seismic data authenticator. In the initial stages of the project, Sandia cryptographer Gustavus Simmons attempted to convince both Sandia management and NSA employees Tom White, Mark Unkenholtz, and Ed Georgio that a form of public key authentication should replace NSA employee Ronald Benincasa's National Seismic Station/Unmaned Seismic Observatory 11-bit data authentication algorithm. My Sandia supervisor John Holovka and project leader H B [Jim] Durham ordered me to write a paper explaining public key cryptography. This paper, RSA ENCRYPTION, along with my SAND report describing my implementation of Benincasa's algorithm and filings in our lawsuit, now appear on Internet at http://www.jya.com/index.htm, click CRYPTOME, then OpEd, then http://www.jya.com/whprsa.htm. Sandia explored the merits of switching from Benincasa's algorithm to a public key-based authentication method suggested by Simmons. For Sandia's evaluation of the merits of public key, electronic tagging, and Bureau of Engraving and Printing projects , I bought for Sandia samples both the Cylink CY1024 and AT&T A & B two chip sets for modulo m arithmetic computations. NSA employee Tom White sent me a copy of the SECRET classified NSA report on IBM's hardware public key chip FIREFLY. I wrote in my tutorial paper RSA hardware computations The slow speed of software RSA computations plus the potential wide use prompted several companies to build chips which compute modular arithmetic to at least several hundred bits. Most of these chips "cascade" to compute with a larger number of bits. Corporations involved in building these chips are 1 IBM Firefly 2 AT&T 3 Motorola (apparently a three chip set) 4 Cylink Pittway-First alert 5 Sandia Labs (Algorithm M and predecessor chip) Details of the IBM chip is classified. AT&T as of July 1987 has not released details of their chip. Little information is available on the Motorola chip set. The Cylink chip is commercially available. Its price dropped from $1,500 to $600 each in June 1987. Data is transferred to and from the chip with serial shift register communication. The early Sandia chip was limited in speed. The replacement chip is cascadeable, communicates with 8 or 16 bits parallel, matches the speed of the Cylink chip, but is not out of fabrication. Rumors circulate that there is about an order of magnitude performance difference between some of these chips. These hardware chips improve exponentiation speed about 3 orders of magnitude over software implementation benchmarked on an Intel 8086 family microcomputer. Whitfield Diffie writes about both the Cylink and Sandia chips. And is quoted at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/nukearse.htm. Sandia had terrible luck with its public key chips. I reported SOME of the troubles to Electronic Engineering Times editor Loring Wirbel [http://techweb.cmp.com/eet/823/] on March 23, 1994. Dr. John Wisniewski was a supervisor at Sandia's Center for Radiation-hardened Microelectronics. Wisniewski was a graduate student at Washington State University in about 1975. I was a professor at WSU. Wisniewski knows all about the failing Sandia chips in the nuclear arsenal. I took notes on February 13, 1993. Wisniewski reviewed the problems again for me. 1 No quality initiative. Each chip lot had a different process. 2 Overall yield - 40-50%. Down to 10% after packaging. 3 Metalization problems. No planarization. No flow of glass. Couldn't use high temperature. Step coverage problems. Layed down over tension. 100% field returns over several years. 4 Sandia would store lots of parts for replacements. Sandia management made the decision to place low yield parts in the nuclear arsenal. Sandia must meet DOD schedules management reasoned. Hundreds of millions spent on CRM. Sandia must show productivity. Wisniewski told me that low yield chip test survivors are those which the tests failed to detect failures. Wisniewski will talk. 503-625- 6408. Wisniewski now works for Intel in Oregon. Have Wisniewski tell you about the fire in the CRM clean room! Sandia supervisor Jerry Allen later told me it cost $300,000 each to remove Sandia's failing chips at Pantex from a nuclear bomb. NSA apparently is biased toward hardware implementations of cryptographic and authentication algorithms. As opposed to software implementation. NSA representatives and Sandia management decided not to use a public key authentication scheme for its CTBT seismic data authenticator because of all of the problems with implementing public key algorithms. But NSA surely has spent MUCH MONEY on public key chip implementations. NSA is promoting its Clipper crypto chips as described at http://cpsr.org/dox/clipper.html. And we get some information about technical specifications of NSA's Clipper chip at http://www.us.net/softwar/http://www.us.net/softwar/clip.html Clipper Chip Information MYK-78 CLIPPER CHIP ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION ON A CHIP 1 micron double level metal CMOS technology 0.35 watts power 28 pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package Transistor to transistor logic (TTL) interface Chip ID, family key and device unique key are installed at programming. Chip ID, family key and device unique key are installed at programming facility and are completely transparent to the user. Therefore, Under the provision of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 USC 552, I am requesting access to: 1 Copies of all invoices from A AT&T B Motorola C IBM D Sandia National Laboratories to NSA for payments for developing ANY public key-related chips between January 1, 1980 and February 27, 1998. 2 Copies of all invoices to NSA from ANY corporation involved in development of ANY Clipper chip-related hardware between January 1, 1980 and February 27, 1998. The public has a right to know how much NSA spent on TRYING monoploize the crypto business. 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. 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. With respect to our current FOIA lawsuit, I feel that we should settle this unfortunate matter. I see from your biography at http://www.nsa.gov:8080/ and http://www.nsa.gov:8080/dirnsa/dirnsa.html that you are 1979 Distinguished Graduate Master of Arts degree in National Security Affairs Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, California One of my former M.S. and Ph.D students in Computer Science, Ted Lewis, is currently the chairman of Computer Science at Naval Postgraduate School [http://www.friction-free-economy.com/] Small world. But I think that this emphasizes that WE SHOULD all be on the same side. Not engaged in a conflict in US federal court. Or on Internet. NSA attempts to withhold requested information are possibly unwise. In our wired world the aggrieved know what happened to them. http://www.wpiran.org/,http://www.netlink.co.uk/users/impact/namir/namirm.h… And moderates in Iran, http://persia.org/khatami/biography.html, appear want settlement too. My family and I have been damaged by these crypto wars. I ask you that consider fair settlement of damages caused by the National Security Agency. I cannot find your e-mail address on Internet. Therefore I will forward the e-mail copy of this FOIA/settlement letter to Ray Kammer of NIST [http://www.nist.gov/] who along with the FBI [http://www.fbi.gov/, http://www.fbi.gov/fo/nyfo/nytwa.htmand] and NSA are trying to control the crypto business so that Kammer can possibly forward an e-mail copy of the FOIA/Settlement letter to you.

She threw out Paula Jones' case because Paula hadn't even PRESENTED any damages done to her. She may well have been "harassed" and Bubba may have done exactly what she said, but she was not harmed in any tangible way. -- Yours, Col.

N. Cukier" <100736.3602(a)compuserve.com> Subject: Searched at UK Border for Net Porn Sender: "K. N. Cukier" <100736.3602(a)compuserve.com> Dave, Some days its a bad hair day, other days you see the suite of Western values since the Enlightenment quashed in an instant by a single, soulless, civil servant. Here's what happened to me last Friday when I arrived in London from Paris on the channel tunnel train: As I walked through UK immigration, two guys pulled me aside, flashed badges, and said: "UK Customs. Come with us." They walked me behind a wall where they handed me off to one of a fleet of waiting agents. A customs officer told me to lay my computer bag on the table, and inspected my ticket and passport. After learning I was a reporter, she demanded to see my press card (issued by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and asked about where I was going in London, why, and for how long. "Do you know there are things that are illegal to bring into the UK?" she asked. "Uh, yeah.... There are *many* things that are illegal to bring across borders -- do you have in mind any thing in particular?," I said. "Illegal drugs, fire arms, bomb making materials, lewd and obscene pornographic material...." I felt a rush of relief. I was late and now was assured I could get on with my journey. "I am carrying none of that," I replied, staring directly at her, with a tone of earnest seriousness. "Is that a computer in your bag?" "Yes." "Does it have Internet on in?" Here, I confess, I really didn't know how to answer. What does one say to a question like that?? I was struck dumb. "I use the computer to access the Internet, yes," I said, rather proud of myself for my accuracy. "Is there any pornography on it?" she said, stoically. Here, I figured out what's going on. But I'm mentally paralyzed from all the synapses sparkling all at once in my head: Does she not understand that Internet content is distributed around the world? That I'm just dialing a local number, be it in France or the UK, and that whether I cross a border is moot to what I'm able to access? "There is no pornography stored on the hard drive," I stated. "Do you mind if I check." she says rather than asks, and begins to take the computer out of the bag. "I'm just going to hook it up over there and scan the hard drive..." she continues. And then her face turns dour. "Oh! It's an Apple," she says, dejectedly. "Our scanner doesn't work on Apples." At this point, it's all a little bit too much, too fast, for me to handle. >From seeing my personal privacy ripped out from under me with a computer-enema to an immediate about-face and witnessing my oppressors flounder in the pap of their own incompetence was just too much to bear. Then, of course, I sort of relished the irony of it all. I swung into naive-mode: "Oh. Oh well," I said and began packing up. "Why not?" "I dunno -- it just doesn't," she said. "Is this a common thing that you do? Scan PCs?" "It happens quite often," she said. (Note: I wrote this entire dialogue immediately after the incident, but that particular quote I wrote the moment we parted, to have it exactly right.) "Do you catch a lot?" "Sometimes," she says, cautiously. What's the fine? The penalty?" I asked. She started to become uncomfortable and tried to move me along. "It depends. Every case is different. It depends what they have." "What about if I had encryption -- do you check for that too?" I said, disdaining the risk that she might want to check the computer "by hand" since I'd mentioned the dreaded C-word.... "Huh?! I don't know about that...." "You don't know what cryptography is?" I asked. "No. Thank you, you can go now," she said. And thus ended my experience with inspector "K. PARE_," whose name tag was partially torn at the final one or two letters of her last name. Of course I was burning up. Lots of thoughts raced through me. For example, would I have really let her inspect my hard drive, even knowing I was "innocent." That, of course, was entirely irrelevant to me -- it's about a principle. I thought of my editor -- or ex-editor -- if I didn't make the day-long meeting. And I immediately thought of John Gilmore, and how much I respected him when he refused to board a flight a few years ago when the airline demanded he present a form of identification. Had I acquiesced to their mental thuggery? As soon as I realized I was "safe" from being scanned, I was tempted to pull out my notepad, go into reporter-mode, and make a small scene getting names and superiors and formal writs of whatever.... but suspected it would only get me locked in a room for a full day. Then I thought of how, despite in their kafakain zeal to abuse my privacy, they couldn't even get that right. Not only did they not have a clue what the Internet is, they confirmed their ignorance by not even being able to digitally pat me down. Insult to injury! It brought back something John Perry Barlow once told me about why he doesn't fear US intelligence agencies. "I've seen them from the inside," he said (as I recall), "they will suffer under the weight of their own ineptitude." What's at the heart of this is "thought crime"; and scanning one's computer is paramount to search and seizure of one's intellectual activity. What if they found subversive literature about the proper role of government authority in civil society? Would that have gotten me busted? And do they store what they scan? Are business executives with marketing plans willing to have their data inspected under the umbrella of public safety from porn? Just the night before I read in the memoirs of William Shirer, who wrote The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, about how he was blacklisted for a decade after his name was cited in Red Currents, a magazine that destroyed hundreds of careers during the McCarthy era. He was powerless to defend himself. I see parallels: We are approaching the point were we are incapable of reasonable discourse on Internet content. Refuse to boot up for inspection means you've got something to hide. Defend civil liberties of the accused means you condone guilty acts. Question the nature of the censorious policies in the first place means you are filthy, and as unhealthy as the wily-eyed porn devourer.... State the obvious: That a large part of the drive for Net content regulation is driven by hucksters seeking recognition, and that it is taken to idiotic extremes by a mass movement of simpletons ignorant of the history of hysteria in the US, and, well, you're just a typical lawless cyberlibertian. Finally, it dawned in me. This wasn't an aberration at all, but part of a much deeper trend. It's a British thing, really. "As might be supposed I have not had the time, not may I add the inclination to read through this book," wrote Sir Archibald Bodkin, the director of public prosecutions, on 29 December 1922. "I have, however, read pages 690 to 732 ... written as they are, as it composed by a more or less illiterate vulgar woman ... there is a great deal of unmitigated filth and obscenity." And so James Joyce's Ulysses was banned in Britain for 15 years. Interesting, that. The policy was made by a chap who didn't actually read the work he felt justified to prohibit others from reading. Wonder if the fellows who implemented Britain's scan-for-skin policy actually use the Net themselves...?
