Re: Effects of S.314 (Communications Decency Act)

For my congresional 'representatives'. S.314 is not a moral bill. Making the owner of a computer (or computer network) responsible for what its users store (or transmit) is like making the owners of a parking lot responsible for what is stored in the cars parked there. It just isn't moraly reasonable. S.314 is un-American. America has always been a place where speach is freeest. We have consistently held the expression of ideas to be one of the very most important rights. To hold the owner of a buliten board responsible for the illegal messages posted to it, is to force the buliten board owner to become a government censor in all but name (and wages). It effectively ends the bulliten board's use as a venue of free speach. S.314 is harmfull to America. The kind of 'chilling effect' this bill wil place on the computer (networking) industry would put american companies at a serious disadvantage. Could I really operate an airline reservtion system for a large airline if I could be held liable for illegal information transmitted using my equipment? No. Could I operate the masive software and hardware networks that the phone system requires? No. But, I bet the company I own in Mexico, or in Canada could. They aren't burdened with such (artificially created) liabilities. Or perhaps I could get a special waiver from my friends in Washington. Hmmm. How much will these sorts of 'work arounds' cost american bussiness? S.314 is not enforceable. There is no certain way to tell if a file of data is an illegal one. Stegnography and cryptography, along with the fact that what a bit means depends on which programs are used to interpret it, mean that even this message could be porno, terrorist threats, or arangements for drug trafficing. Imagin searching all the cars in your parking lot for drugs. Very expensive, and not very reliable. Tons of drugs travel past just such inspection sites each year. Now imagine how tough it would be if the drugs could be turned into perfectly normal steal in the body panels of the vehicles! That is what stegnography and cryptography do to data. Turn perfectly 'awfull' data into data perfectly indistinguishable from noise, and then hide the noise as indistinguishable-from-inocent 'errors' in other data. Concider the spelling in this message -- convert each word into a bit -- 1 if it is speled right, 0 if not. Or how about spacing, or, punctuation -- Hmmm. Now supose we add otras idiomas, aux eble muchos languages en cxiu mesagxon. Will computer (network) owners be responsible for the spelling, punctuation, language, word choice, and grammer of all the electronic mail sent, received, and stored? S.314 is bad for *your* career. If you vote to support it, I will vote against you in upcoming elections. I will work to impeach you. I will never employ you, I will not read your memoirs, I will not do business with you in any way what so ever. I urge you to think twice, and then vote no on S.314. j'

USPO & Digital Postage/E-Cash Project
by daleh＠ix.netcom.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The US Post Office just killed a project that would have created a digital postage/e-cash system. This would have been a digital replacement for the Pitney-Bose style Postage Metering machines. To use a PM machine one has to take the entire machine physically to a Postal Station and purchase some fixed dollar amount of postage. The Postal clerk unseals and unlocks the machine, dials in the amount of postage purchased and then relocks and reseals the machine. This mechanical system would have been replaced by a serial-port dongle and a piece of software. The dongle would contain an EEPROM in a replacable button (made by Dallas Semiconductor) into which would be loaded data indicating the amount of postage that had been purchased and not yet used. The software package would be able to print the address, postage seal, routing codes, etc directly on the envelope via a laser printer and decrement the amount of available postage left in the dongle. In the original test, customers would have to take the dongle to a Postal Station to purchase additional postage, but the ultimate goal was to have been to have a commerical dial-up service available that one could dial into and purchase additional postage directly. A proof-of-concept prototype was developed in VB and a production prototype was then developed in VC++. Unfortunately the crypto wasn't very strong. The USPO contracted with Carnege-Mellon to try and break the system and they were able to within a couple of weeks. USPO then killed the project. Dale H.

Use text based command line sequence to check outbound paths, bandwidth available, negotiate quality of service, execute digital payment arrangements, etc. Conclude the transaction and get bumped to your next hop, where it happens all over again. Done right, it could probably be automated. It seems like a lot of effort, but if you remember that once an initial session is established with your Pipe-net Service Provider (tm), a given circuit can be relatively long-lived. >Now here's an important detail that needs to get done right. Is the >forwarding for fixed length packets, variable length packets, or >streams? Is this decision global or local? What are the latency and >aggregatation effects? How important are these for different classes >of data? (telnet v. voice, e.g.) One of the lessons learned in the years-long debate between the telco folks pushing synchronous time-division multiplexing point to point circuit switches and the data folks pushing variable length packet-switched broadcast medium networks is that fixed length packets can give you both TDM and statistical multiplexing. So, at the bottom most session layer, moving bits around in fixed chunks allows you to do things easier like bandwidth pre-allocation, aggregation, circuit based congestion control, and negotiated quality of service agreements to end points in the network. To learn from the efforts that have come from the thousands of people working on ATM, we could take a look at what has emerged as the "ATM Adaptation Layer." AAL specifies methods to encapsulate various data formats and quality of service requirements onto this fixed length, continuous stream of data packets. There is one for voice traffic, which requires fixed bandwitdth and very little relative latency, another for LAN type data packets, which have bursty bandwidth requirements and variable packet sizes. Your comment above is accurate in that the requirements involved in a Telnet session are vastly different from say, PGP Phone over TCP. The good part about all this is that a lot of the thinking, testing, prototyping, and standardization has already been done. The standards exist today for adapting variable bandwidth, variable packet length, variable latency data packets onto a continous stream of fixed length packets moving through a switched network. This reminds me of the old days of Packet Radio which used intelligent repeaters that you would access (via command line), determine your next repeater, then log into it, etc. I once established virtual circuit from Connecticut to Florida over 2 meter packet that took 25 or so hops, and had a transit delay of a half an hour. Primitive, kludgy, unreliable, and essentially useless, but totally cool. An opportunity presents itself here to establish this Pipe-net style service network, that would greatly expand the ability for network users to essentially bypass all the crap which appears to be coming down on us from our friendly representatives in Washington, who are trying so hard to "protect" us from ourselves. >I'd suggest just getting something running first, to get some >prototyping experience. Of course. What I've outline is a pretty ambitious goal. I'd be happy to see primitive switch implementations that do nothing more than forward TCP streams. Its a start and we would learn a lot along the way. Alas, I don't do Unix; my programming expertise is in (gasp) the Windows environment. So it looks like I could start looking at the requirements implementation of a Winsock interface that made all this stuff transparent to an end user. Important consideration. I suppose the IRC folks could add their experience to the mix. In a very real way, IRC _is_ a packet switched unicast/multicast stream service on top of the 'net.

noiz ... and more SKRONK
by strick＠techwood.org 17 Dec '03

MAB: > Also, /etc/noiz is an attractive target > on multi-user machines.... Right. But you notice I made it mode 660, owner root, group kmem, to parallel the /dev/*mem devices. You have the same vulnerabilities as always on a multi-user system, even if you put /dev/noise in the kernel or run a TCP daemon. Another parallel is the randseed.bin file in PGP. >From an information theory point of view, I don't know how to describe the kind of shared-entropy that this pool exhibits. Making the source of the entropy hidden to the users by crunching on the way out with MD5 adds something to the data -- it's not true entropy, but it's some kind of effective entropy, from the point of view of the users. Unless MD5 has weaknesses that I assume it doesn't, it's not really possible for users to know where their spaces of possible random values overlap, so they don't know how to exploit it. A final note -- I should have put /etc/noiz somewhere in the /var filesystem. Perhaps /var/adm/noiz. But one can edit the Makefile to do that, and no other software has to actually know where it is, since its access is totally encapsulated by noizinit, noizstir, and noizout. The location of these in /usr/local/bin/ is what needs to be standardized, so I hope that's good enough for most users. ------- Oh, I meant to thank everyone for the great discussion and constructive criticism of SKRONK and "encrypt tcp connections" hacks. Especially Perry -- your enumeration of projects was good. Based on that, and what I know of the others, the priority of protocols I'd like to support with skronk are 0. my own hack, to get it going 1. Matt's ESM 2. Kerberized connections (kerb4 or kerb5 or both?) 3. Perhaps the SSL from Netscape Thus SKRONK becomes what I wanted it to be: a way for sites to advertize the availability of enhanced services (via the skronk map UDP daemon) and a way to painlessly integrate crypto with existing code. (The last aspect always draws user interface problems -- if it's so transparent, how do you know if you're encrypted? Right now I have the client end scribble to stderr when it skronks.) strick

WSJ Article on Sen. Exon's Legislation
by daleh＠ix.netcom.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

"Government Tackles a Surge of Smut on the Internet" Wall Street Journal Wednesday, February 8, 1995 page B1 ----------Begin Quote---------- Instead, the services would prefer to be treated like phone companies, which claim no responsibility for telephone conversations. With millions of messages passing through each day, the services say couldn't possibly monitor everything even if they tried. Sen. Exon is unconvinced. "If I were against this <the legislation>, if I didn't want to be bothered with it, if I felt it might complicate my ability to make money on the superhighway, that's the argument I would make," he says, adding that a failure by the government to act would be "an open invitation to some of the hardcore pornography getting into our homes." -----------End Quote----------- Dale H.

Kashpureff, the self-styled martyr in hiding from the feds as they move in to seize his computers after he hijacked traffic from Nework Solutions' website to his own (in a desperate attempt to log some hits?). If this is supposed to be some profound statement, I think the message is lost in the idiocy of it all. As I stated in a previous posting, I denounce this type of traffic hijacking as irresponsible practice and as a negative reflection on other independents who are working to open up the address space on the net in the interests of the public. If Kashpureff would like to participate in the evolution of the net, he should not jeopardize its stability of for the sake of personal vanity. This type of drama and diversion are totally unnecessary, and obscures the focus on the real issues at hand in the whole namespace debate. One major factor of the issue is being settled in the name.space/pgMedia anti trust action against NSI...Kashpureff and others could potentially benefit from the outcome of that action if they conduct themselves in a mature and responsible manner. The next step in the implementation of the expanded namespace demands responsible practice if we are to avoid government regulation and corporate beauracracy and let the system evolve and regulate itself naturally. Judging by this recent bahavior though, it appears that some can't deal with it all now, that it's beginning to get too real. The games and posturing are over.

Re: USPO & Digital Postage/E-Cash Project
by haeberli＠apple.com 17 Dec '03

Dale, I would appreciate any citations you can offer which: -Describe the proposed system in some detail -Describe the weaknesses identified by the CMU team. Also, this group might want to know that CMU has (perhaps independently) done work in this area over two years ago. It may well be that the team at CMU which did the USPO contract research is the same team that proposed digital postage in a research paper in that time frame, and it may well be that their system would withstand a much more rigorous attack. I'm afraid I've lost the precise citation, but I found the report browsing the CMU tech reports server about 18 months ago.

THUS SPAKE "Kipp E.B. Hickman" <kipp(a)warp.mcom.com>: # FYI: # # If you haven't already, I suggest you take a look at the SSL spec # (http://home.mcom.com/info/SSL.html) [ carbon to cypherpunks, whom i think would be interested] i've been looking at that. It seems that a special port has to be allocated for each TCP service. So it's not clear to me how to find out if others on the net offer SMTP with SSL, or how I can put SSL into my X11 clients & server. You see what I'm getting at? It also looks like some heavy equipment is necessary to manage these RSA certficiates. Is there anything like PGP's keyring management for manipulating my web-of-trust? Where do I find the docs? # It does what you are trying to accomplish (I think), and it is already deployed # in production code (the Netscape client and server products). In addition, we # announced this week a free (for non-commerical use) reference implementation. # The code will be out on the net as soon as the lawyers are happy :-) aha ... that's the missing link. I'd certainly like to add it to the protocols that SKRONK advertizes and negotiates, but doing my own implementation of these complex protocols, and building machinery for using non-PGP certificates, was way more than I could handle. Please beat your lawyers to a pulp, until they make it useful for us. If I can't create generally useful things with it, and share it with thousands of others on the net for free, it's not going to be used by the cypherpunk community. I recommend you put your reference implementation in the public domain (except for the RSAREF component). Or take Matt Blaze's crypto offerings from AT&T as your model. best regards, strick

Jefferson Wheel Cypher

Message-Id: <v01510103ab5ed2c136c8@DialupEudora> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- A couple of questions regarding Thomas Jefferson's Wheel Ciphyer: 1) How would you classify this cipher? It looks to me like a polyalphabetic with the plaintext also being the key, kind of like an autokey. Am I correct, or is this cipher a different animal entirely? 2) Can anyone point me to references on the cryptanalysis of this cipher?

But not impossible. According to Kahn, the Austrian Black Chamber was quite adept at forging seals in the late 1600's / early 1700's. They were able to take sealed correspondence in at 7 a.m., unseal it, copy the message, re-seal it, and have it back in the postal stream by early afternoon. There was only one recorded case of them re-sealing a message with the wrong seal, and that was because the seals were so similar. All this is from memory, since I don't have my copy of _The Codebreakers_ here at work, so I may be off in some details.

I think that would be very useful. -- Nathaniel Well, that was just an example; I was making those names up off the top of my head in order to concretize what I understood Perry was suggesting. I can see that putting remailer commands into a specific part of a MIME multipart message has some advantages. Right now we are basically having the remailing commands be mail header fields. But really people aren't supposed to just make up new fields like that. I think the "name space" of these fields is protected somewhat more than many other aspects of communication protocols on the net. Is there precedent for adding service-by-mail functionality in this way? I am not completely comfortable with it. And as we think of new functionality and new commands they all have to get added at this top level, the same visibility and name space as "Subject", "From", and "To". OTOH it does have the advantage that it is easy to do, at least with the "::" pasting token idea (which perhaps would need to be documented in its own right). If we did use a separate message part we'd have our own little name space to use, with no fears of conflicting with someone else. (Maybe "Latency" might be used in a future extension of RFC822 for some other meaning than what we are using it for.) I am not sure what has to be done to get an RFC approved but I suspect that adding mail header fields would be much more likely to hit opposition than adding yet another MIME type. What does Mixmaster use for its commands? Does it use "::" followed by Anon-Send-To: and such? Or some other format? Maybe it should be made MIME compliant from the beginning. This way we are moving with the current, the flow of the net, rather than across it. Hal
