Beating the UK Crypto ban.
by James A. Donald 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-- Supposedly the UK is not going to prohibit cryptography, the kindly and benevolent government is merely going to protect us from irresponsible certificate authorities by licensing the issue of certificates. Thus in theory the ban should not affect Crypto Kong, which does not rely on certificates, does not attempt to address the question of which Bob is the real Bob. Instead it merely checks that the Bob who signed one letter is the same Bob as the Bob who signed the other letter. (And … [View More]

Space Aliens Hide My Drugs / Prologue (1/0)
by Toto 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

____________________________________ SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS !!!???!!! ____________________________________ by The Author Copyright 2000, The Lost Planet Airmen PROLOGUE: -------- I was very young as a dark and stormy Knight... [Author's Note: This part of the prologue is numbered 1-of-0 because there is, in reality, no telling how long, wide and far I may or may not ramble in telling a tale which lies deep inside of me and cries out to be told, despite the rapid … [View More]degeneration of what little is left of my nervous system, my brain function, and my sanity in general. As well, after a lifetime of using an overwhelming excess of commas in my sagacious scribblings and blitheful blatherings, I am well aware that commas do not grow on trees (except for cherry trees, and they are upside down--thus of no use to a scribe such as myself) and that this account of tales untold since the beginning of time (1949, in my universe) may well end in mid-sentence when I have used the last of the commas that I have purloined, stolen and hoarded, over the years, is removed from my secret hiding place and placed on the written page. Hopefully, before this has come to pass, I will have managed to reveal all of the myriad of universal secrets which have remained hidden in plain sight of us all (particularly George Carlin), since the founding of the universe, and the final comma that marks the end of my wisdom will mark the beginning of a new universal ignorance, in which all shall finally know that there *is*no* knowledge*, and that "The ClueServer died for our sins".] The Death of gomez and the Birth of Magical Thinking: I am the Prophet... It's not something I'm proud of, and I in no way planned for things to turn out this way, but the role of Unerring Prophet of the Future of All Mankind was forced on me by circumstances beyond my control. Originally, I was just trying to be a brain-warped, cynical asshole--doing my best to stir up shit, cause trouble, spreadFear/Uncertainty/Disinformation to the best of my ability, and maintain a conscientiously applied plan of good oral hygene. ("Thank you. I'm feeling much better, now.) I've been crazy all of my life, having suffered serious brain injury as a child, and compounding this natural disaster by a willful ingestion of a variety of legal and illegal substances designed to enrich pharmacists and people with dark skin tones who spend much of their time on dimly-lit street corners. There are those who read my apparently mad ramblings and assume that I am some kind of creative writing genius heavily influenced by Hunter S. Thompson, Carlos Castenada, Stephen King and William Burrogh's Jr. They are wrong. As gomez himself said, before being removed as the eternal symbol of the true Digerati, the Circle of Eunuchs, "We don't make it up, we just make it better." Thus, when I describe the series of ElectroShock treatments that I underwent under the care of Dr. Abram Hoffer (the Father of Megavitamin Therapy), and describe them as taking place at the exact same moment as the massive power blackouts throughout the NorthEastern United States and Canada, the details I provide may not be accurate within the time-space continuum, but they will be totally consistent with the Ultimate and Eternal Truth as evidenced by the True Measure of Reality--the electrical bill from SaskPower Corporation that was presented to Central Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which ultimately resulted in the restructuring of the Saskatchewan MediCare system, and the loss of many lives that could have otherwise been saved if the medical profession had not deemed it necessary to store within my brain enough electricity to create a thousand FrankenSteins, or power the bright lights of Las Vegas for a hundred years, in the case of an emergency. Hyperbole? Guess again, shit-for-brains... Anyone who has read "The News of the Weird" by Chuck Shephard can vouch for the fact that the crap that backs up in my demented brain cells, until it spills out like a toxic efflusive onto the written page, could not carry the jock-strap of the events which happen every day, in real life, far removed from the short- circuting electrical malfunctions spewing forth from my damaged brain synapses. I am the Prophet... I am a certified lunatic bouncing wildly back and forth between reality and rational thought <--> magical thinking fueled by messages from Mars which I receive hourly via the silver fillings in my decaying dentures <--> logical assumptions based on the patterns formed by rat-droppings I use to encrypt my writings with the same algorithms used as the basis for C2Net's Stonghold encryption software. In all honesty, I have to admit that I was lying when I presented myself to WebWorld at large as the TruthMonger. But, "The best laid plans of rats and men..." My poor self-image, my low self-esteem, and the knowledge that I had come by them honestly, drove me to a state where I was determined to live out my life as a lying, thieving, conniving, rat-bastard-piece-of-shit who would crap on and distort the truth about everything that normal, decent people hold sacred in their lives. So I used my computer skills, my limitless supply of amphetamines, and my powers of obsessive-compulsive, psychotic fixation to rail madly against the surrounding hordes of men and women of reason who strove to suffocate the madness that I was destined from birth to manifest on the long and twisted road which would ultimately lead to my emergence as the Anti-Christ who would raze the complete face of the earth with violent spasms of death and destruction the likes of which the universe has never seen. "It's life's illusions I recall...I really don't know life, at all." ~Joni Mitchell "All my lies are true...and everything I do, I really am." ~Carroll "Some say he's good...some say he's great...some just say, 'It's a *shame* about that boy.'" ~Sonny King, introducing C.J.Parker, the King of Country Porno, at Club Foot in Austin, Texas, at a benefit for Xalapeno Charlie. In the end, I reached spiritual enlightenment through the realization that Satan, the Evil One, the Anti-Christ, Bill Gates, Louis Freeh, Janet Reno, can never hope to even remotely approach the depths of depravity, outrageous licentiousness and lunacy, or sick and twisted dementia exhibited daily by the average Jane and Joe smiling at us from the other side of the bank manager's desk, or the check-out counter at the local K-Mart. No matter how depraved the sick, demented spewings from my evil mind became, attempting to poison the minds of all who came into contact with my evil, satanic blatherings, masquerading as a true mirror of the reality that surrounds us--in the end, I was, am, and will continue to be...TruthMonger. I am the Prophet... If my sick, twisted mind concocts some bizarre, depraved fantasy about Lisa Bonet Ramsey's rotting carcass rising from a roadside ditch to plug parking meters and being flown by the Cincinnati Police Department to New York City to carry out Judge Ito's sentence of having a toilet plunger shoved up her ass, then one of two things will happen. Either CNN will break the story, exactly as I have described it, minutes before my missive shows up on the InterNet, or I will receive the lastest email version of "News of the Weird,"l from SaskPower Corporation that was presented to Central Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which ultimately resulted in the restructuring of the Saskatchewan MediCare system, and the loss of many lives that could have otherwise been saved if the med as standing at the bleeding edge of the burdgeoning computer technology which is rapidly changing the face of our planet and the governmental, civil, and social societies encompassed within this celestial orb. Harbingers of the Digital Future / Pioneers of Future Technology / etc., etc. Bullshit... The CypherPunks are rag-tag band of infantile, pseudo-anarchistic, pseudo- cryptic, well-educated shit-disturbers who take great pleasure in pissing on themselves, each other, and the world around them--all the while, covering their motivations and ambitions with high-sounding ideals intended to disguise the fact that none of them ever received proper toilet-training. The end result? No matter how high they pile it, how far they spread it, or how badly it smells when you step in it, they end up coming off as the Henry Kissinger's of CyberSpace, because no matter how much rotten meat, jalapenos and moldy cheese they eat, they can never manage to crap out anything so vile and foul- smelling that the world-at-large cannot prove prophetic in MeatSpace. Question for Blanc Weber (CypherPunks version of the Sweetheart of the Rodeo): Yes, Blanc, I am the one who was hiding in the bushes near the gravesites when you were laying the wreaths in honor of Mother Teresa and the children who were the 'victims' of the Oklahoma Federal Building bombing. Yes, that was me who was whistling the eerie medely of "Psycho Killer" and "Street Fighting Man" while you were busy trying to honor the souls of the 'innocents' who died for the sin of being born. Realizing that we are polar-opposites, I am willing to concede that perhaps Eternal Truth, True Justice and A Noble Ideal To Be Named Later might best be served if you and I met in the middle and acted in concert to do what must inevitably be done to balance the distorted energy of the Tao which is currently tearing our planet, our socities and our individuals to pieces. I am ready now...when will you be ready? I am ready to walk into Luby's cafeteria today, and start blowing away people I know and total strangers, for no real fucking reason, just to stop the voices inside my head which scream such things as "Wake Up America"/"What the Fuck are We all Doing to One Another"/"When will the Madness STOP!!!" When will you be ready? I am ready to kidnap men, women and children who are federal employees, or related to them, or who sent them Christmas cards, or who failed to punch their fucking lights out when they fucked over those they are supposed to 'serve' because of some obscure legal technicality passed by drunken, syphlittic politicians in a previous century. I am ready to transport them to the site of the OKC bombing in numbers amounting to hundreds of times of McVeigh's victims, bombing their innocent souls into oblivion, in the hope that someone, somewhere, will look into the eyes of the psychotic, deranged madman that I have become, and see themself, and their neighbors, desperately trying to maintain the illusion that their hands are free of blood when foreign children die as a result of embargos placed within the imaginary political lines which define our MeatSpace Reality--embargos placed by those that they themselves voted for in return for the promise that *their* children, on the 'good' side of the imaginary line, would be provided with good nutrition and a sound future, unless, of course, they live in one of the poorer states, or America needs a larger military budget to defend the most powerful military nation in the world from some flea on the ass of an Iranian camel. Blanc, when will *you* be ready? I am ready, today, to gun down a woman carrying a baby, killing them both, and justifying my actions by claiming I thought she was a Somalian warlord--I am ready to drive a tank to MicroSoft Corporate Headquarters and raze it to the ground, killing men, women and children in a violent cataclysm of smoke and flames, justifying it with claims that MicroSoft cult members are all gun-hoarding child-molesters who think Bill Gates is Jesus. When will you be ready...? The optomist says that the human soul is half full. The pessimist says that the human soul is half empty. The realist says, "Kill 'em all, and let God sort them out." Tim May says, "Broken eggs, and all that." I say, "The Revolution is NOW!" What do *you* say? Shall we set a date, sweetheart? [TBC] [View Less]

DCSB: Joseph Reagle; Meta-data and Negotiation in Digital Commerce

They are in fact applications of meta-data and negotiation in order to mimic the social capabilities people have in the real world: capabilities to create rich content, make verifiable assertions, create agreements, and to develop and manage trust relationships. Furthermore, governments realize that a significant portion of their constituencies and markets are moving on-line. Consequently, as the sophistication of one's interactions on the Web increase through the development of social protocols, so does the regulators' interest in extending their "real world" mandates on commerce and culture to the Web. Mr. Reagle will detail the development of "social protocols" and their ability to create and maintain spontaneous, emergent, social structures versus their ability to propagate "real world" norms on the Web. Joseph Reagle Jr. joined the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at MIT in October of 1996 to focus on policy issues related to the development of global technologies and their relationship to social and legal structures. Specifically, how to promote "good" engineering when applied to a multifaceted and often contentious policy environment; one result of this activity is the W3C Statement on Policy. Mr. Reagle received a Computer Science degree from University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) and continued on to the S.M. Technology and Policy program at the Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT). While at MIT he worked with the Research Program on Communication Policy on IPR, eCommerce, security, and cryptographic policy. During the summer of '95, he worked at Open Market on electronic commerce protocols. Before joining the W3C at the Laboratory for Computer Science (MIT), Mr. Reagle consulted on Internet and interactive media for McCann-Erickson, and Internet gambling for go-Digital. This meeting of the Digital Commerce Society of Boston will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 1997, from 12pm - 2pm at the Downtown Branch of the Harvard Club of Boston, on One Federal Street. The price for lunch is $32.50. This price includes lunch, room rental, various A/V hardware, and the speaker's lunch. ;-). The Harvard Club *does* have dress code: jackets and ties for men (and no sneakers or jeans), and "appropriate business attire" (whatever that means), for women. Fair warning: since we purchase these luncheons in advance, we will be unable to refund the price of your lunch if the Club finds you in violation of the dress code. We will attempt to record this meeting for sale on CD/R, and to put it on the web in RealAudio format, at some future date. We need to receive a company check, or money order, (or, if we *really* know you, a personal check) payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", by Saturday, February 28th, or you won't be on the list for lunch. Checks payable to anyone else but The Harvard Club of Boston will have to be sent back. Checks should be sent to Robert Hettinga, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, Massachusetts, 02131. Again, they *must* be made payable to "The Harvard Club of Boston", in the amount of $32.50. Please include your e-mail address, so that we can send you a confirmation If anyone has questions, or has a problem with these arrangements (We've had to work with glacial A/P departments more than once, for instance), please let us know via e-mail, and we'll see if we can work something out. Upcoming speakers for DCSB are: April Adam Shostack Digital Commerce Security: Beyond Firewalls May Jeremey Barrett Digital Bearer Certificate Protocols We are actively searching for future speakers. If you are in Boston on the first Tuesday of the month, and you would like to make a presentation to the Society, please send e-mail to the DCSB Program Commmittee, care of Robert Hettinga, <mailto: rah(a)shipwright.com>.

Space Alien CypherPunks / Uncorrupted / From Russia, With Love

____________________________________ SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS !!!???!!! ____________________________________ by The Author Copyright 2000, The Lost Planet Airmen PROLOGUE: -------- I was very young as a dark and stormy Knight... [Author's Note: This part of the prologue is numbered 1-of-0 because there is, in reality, no telling how long, wide and far I may or may not ramble in telling a tale which lies deep inside of me and cries out to be told, despite the rapid … [View More]degeneration of what little is left of my nervous system, my brain function, and my sanity in general. As well, after a lifetime of using an overwhelming excess of commas in my sagacious scribblings and blitheful blatherings, I am well aware that commas do not grow on trees (except for cherry trees, and they are upside down--thus of no use to a scribe such as myself) and that this account of tales untold since the beginning of time (1949, in my universe) may well end in mid-sentence when I have used the last of the commas that I have purloined, stolen and hoarded, over the years, is removed from my secret hiding place and placed on the written page. Hopefully, before this has come to pass, I will have managed to reveal all of the myriad of universal secrets which have remained hidden in plain sight of us all (particularly George Carlin), since the founding of the universe, and the final comma that marks the end of my wisdom will mark the beginning of a new universal ignorance, in which all shall finally know that there *is*no* knowledge*, and that "The ClueServer died for our sins".] The Death of gomez and the Birth of Magical Thinking: I am the Prophet... It's not something I'm proud of, and I in no way planned for things to turn out this way, but the role of Unerring Prophet of the Future of All Mankind was forced on me by circumstances beyond my control. Originally, I was just trying to be a brain-warped, cynical asshole--doing my best to stir up shit, cause trouble, spreadFear/Uncertainty/Disinformation to the best of my ability, and maintain a conscientiously applied plan of good oral hygene. ("Thank you. I'm feeling much better, now.) I've been crazy all of my life, having suffered serious brain injury as a child, and compounding this natural disaster by a willful ingestion of a variety of legal and illegal substances designed to enrich pharmacists and people with dark skin tones who spend much of their time on dimly-lit street corners. There are those who read my apparently mad ramblings and assume that I am some kind of creative writing genius heavily influenced by Hunter S. Thompson, Carlos Castenada, Stephen King and William Burrogh's Jr. They are wrong. As gomez himself said, before being removed as the eternal symbol of the true Digerati, the Circle of Eunuchs, "We don't make it up, we just make it better." Thus, when I describe the series of ElectroShock treatments that I underwent under the care of Dr. Abram Hoffer (the Father of Megavitamin Therapy), and describe them as taking place at the exact same moment as the massive power blackouts throughout the NorthEastern United States and Canada, the details I provide may not be accurate within the time-space continuum, but they will be totally consistent with the Ultimate and Eternal Truth as evidenced by the True Measure of Reality--the electrical bill from SaskPower Corporation that was presented to Central Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, which ultimately resulted in the restructuring of the Saskatchewan MediCare system, and the loss of many lives that could have otherwise been saved if the medical profession had not deemed it necessary to store within my brain enough electricity to create a thousand FrankenSteins, or power the bright lights of Las Vegas for a hundred years, in the case of an emergency. Hyperbole? Guess again, shit-for-brains... Anyone who has read "The News of the Weird" by Chuck Shephard can vouch for the fact that the crap that backs up in my demented brain cells, until it spills out like a toxic efflusive onto the written page, could not carry the jock-strap of the events which happen every day, in real life, far removed from the short- circuting electrical malfunctions spewing forth from my damaged brain synapses. I am the Prophet... I am a certified lunatic bouncing wildly back and forth between reality and rational thought <--> magical thinking fueled by messages from Mars which I receive hourly via the silver fillings in my decaying dentures <--> logical assumptions based on the patterns formed by rat-droppings I use to encrypt my writings with the same algorithms used as the basis for C2Net's Stonghold encryption software. In all honesty, I have to admit that I was lying when I presented myself to WebWorld at large as the TruthMonger. But, "The best laid plans of rats and men..." My poor self-image, my low self-esteem, and the knowledge that I had come by them honestly, drove me to a state where I was determined to live out my life as a lying, thieving, conniving, rat-bastard-piece-of-shit who would crap on and distort the truth about everything that normal, decent people hold sacred in their lives. So I used my computer skills, my limitless supply of amphetamines, and my powers of obsessive-compulsive, psychotic fixation to rail madly against the surrounding hordes of men and women of reason who strove to suffocate the madness that I was destined from birth to manifest on the long and twisted road which would ultimately lead to my emergence as the Anti-Christ who would raze the complete face of the earth with violent spasms of death and destruction the likes of which the universe has never seen. "It's life's illusions I recall...I really don't know life, at all." ~Joni Mitchell "All my lies are true...and everything I do, I really am." ~Carroll "Some say he's good...some say he's great...some just say, 'It's a *shame* about that boy.'" ~Sonny King, introducing C.J.Parker, the King of Country Porno, at Club Foot in Austin, Texas, at a benefit for Xalapeno Charlie. In the end, I reached spiritual enlightenment through the realization that Satan, the Evil One, the Anti-Christ, Bill Gates, Louis Freeh, Janet Reno, can never hope to even remotely approach the depths of depravity, outrageous licentiousness and lunacy, or sick and twisted dementia exhibited daily by the average Jane and Joe smiling at us from the other side of the bank manager's desk, or the check-out counter at the local K-Mart. No matter how depraved the sick, demented spewings from my evil mind became, attempting to poison the minds of all who came into contact with my evil, satanic blatherings, masquerading as a true mirror of the reality that surrounds us--in the end, I was, am, and will continue to be...TruthMonger. I am the Prophet... If my sick, twisted mind concocts some bizarre, depraved fantasy about Lisa Bonet Ramsey's rotting carcass rising from a roadside ditch to plug parking meters and being flown by the Cincinnati Police Department to New York City to carry out Judge Ito's sentence of having a toilet plunger shoved up her ass, then one of two things will happen. Either CNN will break the story, exactly as I have described it, minutes before my missive shows up on the InterNet, or I will receive the lastest email version of "News of the Weird," which will report real news stories from the mainstream media which make my fantasy's look like shallow attempts by Miss Manners to increase her readership. Death of a Legend / The Truth About the CypherPunks: The CypherPunks have long been renowned as standing at the bleeding edge of the burdgeoning computer technology which is rapidly changing the face of our planet and the governmental, civil, and social societies encompassed within this celestial orb. Harbingers of the Digital Future / Pioneers of Future Technology / etc., etc. Bullshit... The CypherPunks are rag-tag band of infantile, pseudo-anarchistic, pseudo- cryptic, well-educated shit-disturbers who take great pleasure in pissing on themselves, each other, and the world around them--all the while, covering their motivations and ambitions with high-sounding ideals intended to disguise the fact that none of them ever received proper toilet-training. The end result? No matter how high they pile it, how far they spread it, or how badly it smells when you step in it, they end up coming off as the Henry Kissinger's of CyberSpace, because no matter how much rotten meat, jalapenos and moldy cheese they eat, they can never manage to crap out anything so vile and foul- smelling that the world-at-large cannot prove prophetic in MeatSpace. Question for Blanc Weber (CypherPunks version of the Sweetheart of the Rodeo): Yes, Blanc, I am the one who was hiding in the bushes near the gravesites when you were laying the wreaths in honor of Mother Teresa and the children who were the 'victims' of the Oklahoma Federal Building bombing. Yes, that was me who was whistling the eerie medely of "Psycho Killer" and "Street Fighting Man" while you were busy trying to honor the souls of the 'innocents' who died for the sin of being born. Realizing that we are polar-opposites, I am willing to concede that perhaps Eternal Truth, True Justice and A Noble Ideal To Be Named Later might best be served if you and I met in the middle and acted in concert to do what must inevitably be done to balance the distorted energy of the Tao which is currently tearing our planet, our socities and our individuals to pieces. I am ready now...when will you be ready? I am ready to walk into Luby's cafeteria today, and start blowing away people I know and total strangers, for no real fucking reason, just to stop the voices inside my head which scream such things as "Wake Up America"/"What the Fuck are We all Doing to One Another"/"When will the Madness STOP!!!" When will you be ready? I am ready to kidnap men, women and children who are federal employees, or related to them, or who sent them Christmas cards, or who failed to punch their fucking lights out when they fucked over those they are supposed to 'serve' because of some obscure legal technicality passed by drunken, syphlittic politicians in a previous century. I am ready to transport them to the site of the OKC bombing in numbers amounting to hundreds of times of McVeigh's victims, bombing their innocent souls into oblivion, in the hope that someone, somewhere, will look into the eyes of the psychotic, deranged madman that I have become, and see themself, and their neighbors, desperately trying to maintain the illusion that their hands are free of blood when foreign children die as a result of embargos placed within the imaginary political lines which define our MeatSpace Reality--embargos placed by those that they themselves voted for in return for the promise that *their* children, on the 'good' side of the imaginary line, would be provided with good nutrition and a sound future, unless, of course, they live in one of the poorer states, or America needs a larger military budget to defend the most powerful military nation in the world from some flea on the ass of an Iranian camel. Blanc, when will *you* be ready? I am ready, today, to gun down a woman carrying a baby, killing them both, and justifying my actions by claiming I thought she was a Somalian warlord--I am ready to drive a tank to MicroSoft Corporate Headquarters and raze it to the ground, killing men, women and children in a violent cataclysm of smoke and flames, justifying it with claims that MicroSoft cult members are all gun-hoarding child-molesters who think Bill Gates is Jesus. When will you be ready...? The optomist says that the human soul is half full. The pessimist says that the human soul is half empty. The realist says, "Kill 'em all, and let God sort them out." Tim May says, "Broken eggs, and all that." I say, "The Revolution is NOW!" What do *you* say? Shall we set a date, sweetheart? [TBC] [View Less]

Sounds like an obvious target for activism to add a requirement that any censorware systems selected be clearly identified to the public, including the kids, and that the blocking criteria and lists be made available to the parents and adult library users.

Sunday 2/15/98 7:52 PM J Orlin Grabbe Albuquerque Journal h 2/5/98 Ex-Spy Denied Extra Pension BERLIN - The former head of the East German secret police, a lifelong communist who fled Germany in the 1930s to avoid the Nazis, is not entitled to extra pension money for the time he spent in exile, a court ruled Wednesday. One the No. 2 man in East Germany, Erich Mielke, 90, now lives in seclusion with his wife in an apartment in eastern Berlin. His monthly pension,… [View More] according to German media, is just under $55 a month. Hoping to boost his income, he applied to Berlin authorities for a supplemental pension for the years he spent in Moscow and Spain, 1931 until the end of World War II. But the court ruled that the main reason for his exile was not fear of persecution, but for his involvement as a young communist street fighter in the killing of two Berlin policemen on Aug. 9, 1931. Your attached article ALSO may include Mielke. Grabbe, a LOT of guys wanted to find out what happened. Israel too. Let's all hope for settlement of this unfortunate matter. Later bill Title: NSA, Crypto AG, and the Iraq-Iran Conflict [Email Reply] NSA, Crypto AG, and the Iraq-Iran Conflict by J. Orlin Grabbe One of the dirty little secrets of the 1980s is that the U.S. regularly provided Iraq's Saddam Hussein with top-secret communication intercepts by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Consider the evidence. When in 1991 the government of Kuwait paid the public relations firm of Hill & Knowlton ten million dollars to drum up American war fever against the evil dictator Hussein, it brought about the end of a long legacy of cooperation between the U.S. and Iraq. Hill & Knowlton resurrected the World War I propaganda story about German soldiers roasting Belgian babies on bayonets, updated in the form of a confidential witness (actually the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the U.S.) who told Congress a tearful story of Iraqi soldiers taking Kuwaiti babies out of incubators and leaving them on the cold floor to die. President George Bush then repeated this fabricated tale in speeches ten times over the next three days. What is remarkable about this staged turn of events is that, until then, Hussein had operated largely with U.S. approval. This cooperation had spanned three successive administrations, starting with Jimmy Carter. As noted by John R. MacArthur, "From 1980 to 1988, Hussein had shouldered the burden of killing about 150,000 Iranians, in addition to at least thirteen thousand of his own citizens, including several thousand unarmed Kurdish civilians, and in the process won the admiration and support of elements of three successive U.S. Administrations" [1]. Hussein's artful slaughter of Iranians was aided by good military intelligence. The role of NSA in the conflict is an open secret in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Only in this country has there been a relative news blackout, despite the fact that it was the U.S. administration that let the crypto cat out of the bag. First, U.S. President Ronald Reagan informed the world on national television that the United States was reading Libyan communications. This admission was part of a speech justifying the retaliatory bombing of Libya for its alleged involvement in the La Belle discotheque bombing in Berlin's Schoeneberg district, where two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman were killed, and 200 others injured. Reagan wasn't talking about American monitoring of Libyan news broadcasts. Rather, his "direct, precise, and undeniable proof" referred to secret (encrypted) diplomatic communication between Tripoli and the Libyan embassy in East Berlin. Next, this leak was compound by the U.S. demonstration that it was also reading secret Iranian communications. As reported in Switzerland's Neue Zurcher Zeitung, the U.S. provided the contents of encrypted Iranian messages to France to assist in the conviction of Ali Vakili Rad and Massoud Hendi for the stabbing death in the Paris suburb of Suresnes of the former Iranian prime minister Shahpour Bakhtiar and his personal secretary Katibeh Fallouch. [2] What these two countries had in common was they had both purchased cryptographic communication equipment from the Swiss firm Crypto AG. Crypto AG was founded in 1952 by the (Russian-born) Swedish cryptographer Boris Hagelin who located his company in Zug. Boris had created the "Hagelin-machine", a encryption device similar to the German "Enigma". The Hagelin machine was used on the side of the Allies in World War II. Crypto AG was an old and venerable firm, and Switzerland was a neutral country. So Crypto AG's enciphering devices for voice communication and digital data networks were popular, and customers came from 130 countries. These included the Vatican, as well the governments of Iraq, Iran, and Libya. Such countries were naturally skeptical of cryptographic devices sold in many NATO countries, so turned to relatively neutral Switzerland for communication security. Iran demonstrated its suspicion about the source of the leaks, when it arrested Hans Buehler, a top salesman for Crypto AG, in Teheran on March 18, 1992. During his nine and a half months of solitary confinement in Evin prison in Teheran, Buehler was questioned again and again whether he had leaked Teheran's codes or Libya's keys to Western powers. Luckily Buehler didn't know anything. He in fact believed in his own sales pitch that Crypto AG was a neutral company and its equipment was the best. They were Swiss, after all. [3] Crypto AG eventually paid one million dollars for Buehler's release in January 1993, then promptly fired him once they had reassured themselves that he hadn't revealed anything important under interrogation, and because Buehler had begun to ask some embarrassing questions. Then reports appeared on Swiss television, Swiss Radio International, all the major Swiss papers, and in German magazines like Der Spiegel. Had Crypto AG's equipment been spiked by Western intelligence services? the media wanted to know. The answer was Yes [4]. Swiss television traced the ownership of Crypto AG to a company in Liechtenstein, and from there back to a trust company in Munich. A witness appearing on Swiss television explained the real owner was the German government--the Federal Estates Administration. [5] According to Der Spiegel, all but 6 of the 6000 shares of Crypto AG were at one time owned by Eugen Freiberger, who resided in Munich and was head of the Crypto AG managing board in 1982. Another German, Josef Bauer, an authorized tax agent of the Muenchner Treuhandgesellschaft KPMG, and who was elected to the managing board in 1970, stated that his mandate had come from the German company Siemens. Other members of Crypto AG's management had also worked at Siemens. Was the German secret service, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), hiding behind the Siemens' connection? So it would seem. Der Spiegel reported that in October 1970, a secret meeting of the BND had discussed how the Swiss company Graettner could be guided into closer cooperation with Crypto AG, or could even merged with it. The BND additionally considered how "the Swedish company Ericsson could be influenced through Siemens to terminate its own cryptographic business." [6] A former employee of Crypto AG reported that he had to coordinate his developments with "people from Bad Godesberg". This was the location of the "central office for encryption affairs" of the BND, and the service instructed Crypto AG what algorithms to use to create the codes. The employee also remembers an American "watcher", who strongly demanded the use of certain encryption methods. Representatives from NSA visited Crypto AG often. A memorandum of a secret workshop at Crypto AG in August 1975, where a new prototype of an encryption device was demonstrated, mentions the participation of Nora L. Mackebee, an NSA cryptographer. Motorola engineer Bob Newman says that Mackebee was introduced to him as a "consultant". Motorola cooperated with Crypto AG in the seventies in developing a new generation of electronic encryption machines. The Americans "knew Zug very well and gave travel tips to the Motorola people for the visit at Crypto AG," Newman told Der Spiegel. Knowledgeable sources indicate that the Crypto AG enciphering process, developed in cooperation with the NSA and the German company Siemans, involved secretly embedding the decryption key in the cipher text. Those who knew where to look could monitor the encrypted communication, then extract the decryption key that was also part of the transmission, and recover the plain text message. Decryption of a message by a knowledgeable third party was not any more difficult than it was for the intended receiver. (More than one method was used. Sometimes the algorithm was simply deficient, with built-in exploitable weaknesses.) Crypto AG denies all this, of course, saying such reports are ""pure invention". What information was provided to Saddam Hussein exactly? Answers to this question are currently being sought in a lawsuit against NSA in New Mexico, which has asked to see "all Iranian messages and translations between January 1, 1980 and June 10, 1996". [7] The passage of top-secret communications intelligence to someone like Saddam Hussein brings up other questions. Which dictator is the U.S. passing top secret messages to currently? Jiang Zemin? Boris Yeltsin? Will Saddam Hussein again become a recipient of NSA largess if he returns to the mass slaughter of Iranians? What exactly is the purpose of NSA anyway? One more question: Who is reading the Pope's communications? Bibliography [1] John R. MacArthur, Second Front: Censorship and Propaganda in the Gulf War, Hill and Wang, New York, 1992.

I've got an idea I wanted to bounce off you, since Tattooman seems a suitably non-corporate persona. I'm one of those who believes that the world will be a better … [View More]place if all people have ready access to strong crypto, for their own personal musing (for what hope has democracy -- or individualism, or community -- if people can not safely muse on unpopular or illicit options, deciding what is right by carefully considering what is wrong as well as right.) I also believe that strong crypto is all that can allow online international commerce, and commerce and trade is the fundamental alternative to war, armed might, and spook-driven controls on inter-cultural relationships.) The core struggle of our time is likely to be between those who want to rely on from-the-top bureaucratic control, essentially militaristic control of friends and foe, and those who trust instead in evolving common needs and mutually beneficial trade interactions between societies and nations. (The fact that the most valuable resource of any future information age -- intellectual capital, human brainpower -- is much more equitably distributed among nations than other "natural" resources, like coal, or gold, also gives me hope for a future in which all nations can offer intellectual trade-good of value and partake of a health and profitable-to-all world trade.) Here's my thought: in the immediate future, Fortify (or some similar freeware product) will offer anyone in the world a chance to upgrade the tens of millions of export-quality (weak crypto) versions of Netscape in circulation, to make them strong-crypto products with both SSL (and soon S/MIME) available to all. One of the big questions in how this world-wide struggle between statist forces who want to restrict individual (and corporate) access to strong crypto internationally, and those of us who instead want to foster the widespread use of strong crypto, is how to educate and promote the use of strong-crypto versions of Netscape (since that is today the upgradable product available worldwide.) What I would like to see is one or several CGI packages which folks could put on their websites which would quickly alert a user that the browser he is using has only limited and restricted export-quality weak crypto, and that he or she should immediately consider upgrading to strong crypto by obtaining Fortify (or other upgrade packages) from XXX website.

Turn Your Computer Into a Personal Mail Server
by owner-cypherpunks 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Look at the Headers in this Message. If you like what you see read on. This message was sent to you courtesy of the amazing new technology of the "Rapid Fire Mail Server" (RFMS). RFMS transforms your computer into a personal mail server. With no additional hardware, RFMS software will give you complete control of your mailings, because the mail you send will originate from your computer and be delivered directly into the mailbox of your recipient. Since the mail originates from your … [View More]computer, it is no longer necessary to use your Internet Service Provider's mail server. When you use the previous generation stealth or cloaking type programs, they work by uploading your mail to your provider's mail server. They can also be programmed to send mail through other providers mail servers without authorization (this is considered theft of service). The problem is, the previous generation stealth type programs upload the messages faster than these mail servers can process them. Many times this causes a provider's mail server to bog down and crash. Obviously, this will make providers furious with you. Furthermore, you may think that you are sending hundreds of thousands of messages, unfortunately, most of it simply gets filtered and deleted by the mail server. You are lucky to get 10%-20% of that mail delivered. With Rapid Fire Mail Server software YOUR computer emulates a mail server and YOU actually control and watch all your mail being delivered piece by piece. There is a 100% delivery rate with this program anywhere on the internet. We did say 100% delivery rate to any internet email addresses. A bold claim but it is true. This is the latest technical advance in bulk email since the advent of the stealth type programs. This program verifies domains and validity of email addresses before sending mail. This dramatically reduces your bounced back undeliverables. Bounced back undeliverables can sure bog down a server. You can also control where you want any bounced back mail to go. It can go to any email address you want with Rapid Fire Mail Server. Rapid Fire Mail Server can work with ANY dial up internet account, an ISDN line or a T-1 or T-3. It runs on Windows 95 or NT. We have not heard of any person losing a dial up account with this software. One reason bulk email is so frowned upon with numerous ISP's is people try to send as much mail as they can, as quick as they can and crash the mail server of the ISP. This won't happen with Rapid Fire Mail Server software since you don't use the mail server of the ISP to send your mail. The program actually sends the mail directly from your computer which is now a bona fide mail server, to the recipients mail server avoiding any potential blocks that would prevent you from reaching those on your mailing list. You do not have to "forge" headers or randomize anything to have 100% of your mail delivered, although the program does allow for randomization and customizing of headers. You can send mail omitting the "to" "from" and "reply to" portions of your headers. Want to send out your messages in color. Not a problem with Rapid Fire Mail Server. Just select a font color with your mouse, and then click on a background color as well. Want to make your font bold or put it into italics, just point and click. Want your message centered or shifted left or right, once again just point and click. Rapid Fire Mail Server works with any Windows 95 or NT computer. It requires no additional hardware or software. The Rapid Fire Mail Server sends at speeds up to 80,000 messages per hour DELIVERED using a modest pentium and a 28.8 modem. Rates will dramatically increase with an ISDN or cable modem and of course with a T-1 they will be even faster. If you want to take advantage of this breakthrough in Bulk EMail Technology give us a call. Oh, if you were wondering the program costs $700. We don't plan on repeat mailings for this product. If you think the price is too high, well we can sell you Stealth for $200. You might be happy with Stealth if you don't mind frequent loss of dial-up accounts, a lot of complaints, not getting a lot of your mail delivered due to blocks and crashed mail s ervers deleting your mail, along with the resulting low response rate from your mailings, then stealth would probably make you happy. LOL Call us at 1-612-557-0034 for more info and ordering info. So give us a call today. [View Less]

payment mix
by Wei Dai 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A payment mix is like an email mix, but instead of mixing and remailing emails, it mixes and repays payments. This would be useful when the payment system itself does not offer anonymity. A payment mix basicly turns any traceable payment system into an anonymous one. Payment mixes could be chained for additional security, just like email mixes. But by using blind signatures this could also be avoided. In that case the payment mix would be acting like a mini ecash mint. To illustrate how it … [View More]

The danger of certificates
by Henri La Bouche 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

IMHO there is a serious situation creeping up that I have not seen much attention on. That is the use of certificates to encrypt e-mail. I think these are two entirely separate subjects and unless the distinction is made and people are made to see it strong encryption will be next to useless. If I may draw an analogy (albeit flawed <g>). Using a certificate to sign or encrypt a message is akin to notarizing a document. Using strong encryption is akin to putting snail mail in an envelope … [View More]before sending. To have to notarize every piece of mail you send, or to be required to go to the post office and show ID in order to send mail would be a gross invasion of privacy and completely unacceptable. Yet this is what is done when using certificates to encrypt e-mail. Currently this use of certificates is not widespread, but if any lesson is to be learned from the "browser wars" is that if you give it away people will use it regardless of quality. And in America especially, if something requires brains or intelligence to use you know right off that the general public will not accept it. As e-mail becomes more and more the standard it will be easy to whip the populace into a frenzy regarding "privacy" and spam then provide the simple and easy method of using certificates as a standard. Let's put on the black hat for a moment and create a plan. We want to snooker the public into believing it has security through strong encryption and yet we have the ability to track connections and communications. Further we would like to get a net gain of intel, not just replace the current system with something new. The primary goals would be 1. Knock out any competing encryption system. 2. Provide a system that is apparently strong but is not. The best way to defeat number one is to give away number two (pun intended). The specs for such a system would be: 1. A backdoor or key escrow or other method to easily decrypt the information sent. 2. A means to trace all messages back to the actual originator. 3. A means to know who is the true recipient. 4. User friendly (no-brainer). 5. It must provide benefits above and beyond encryption and digital signatures. 6. Acceptable to the general public. The simplest method of creating key escrow is to have a single source for issuing keys. If people are unable to create their own keys then there will be no problem with having to break unknown keys. To make this acceptable to the populace there has to be an apparent benefit. If the keys are issued by a "trusted" authority who supposedly takes great pains to verify identity before issuing a key, then the people don't have to think or be bother to look for deceit. The authority will be there to ensure it never happens. This system also provides traceability of originator and recipient. To make it user friendly, make it password free, fully integrated into the e-mail client and fully transparent to the user. Additional benefits could be the noted above "trusted" authority factor as well as whipping up a frenzy about "hackers" reading your mail and doing horrible things, which will be prevented if your just use our encryption. Also "faster" protocols can be invented that whisk certificate encrypted mail through the internet faster and more reliably. Use of certificates can eliminate spam, simply filter out all mail that is not encrypted with one of our certificates, after all, if someone doesn't use our certificate then they must have something to hide. Making it acceptable would require that it appear to be not controlled by the government and then run a PR campaign selling it. First off have a few large corporations back it, have the certificates issued by an apparently private corporation and finally have athlete and movie star endorsements, i.e. "Got Encryption". The political deviants who refuse to use this system will be easy to isolate and target. Henri <hedgehog(a)anon.efga.org> [View Less]

>Doesn't the act of taking it across the border, in the laptop, constitute >an act of export?? Well, yes it would, but the original scenario includes WRITING the code outside of the US, which means it never was a US creation, even if the creature that happened to be writing the code was native to the US. The question is whether the dude could pull a stunt like this and get away with it. I'd say go for it. You got a plausible loophole to a stupid law that might not hold in court anyways. -Anon

Handling spam
by The Sheriff 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

For those of you who use mail-reading/downloading softs that let you filter your messages based on header/body content (ie Eudora, ect), I've found a helpfull tool that assists in the filtering out of spam. If the Sender: header is "owner-cypherpunks(a)toad.com" and the To: line does not contain the list address, you can easily get a lot of the spam that comes through here. I've resigned myself to creatively filtering out the spam into the trash folder (or your equivilent, like deleting) and … [View More]

Squelch discussions of the "spam problem"
by Tim May 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Several lists I'm on are beating the spam problem once again. What to do about it, whether government should step in, and so on. Look, folks, I guarantee that the more everyone talks about the "spam problem," even if most of us don't think it's a pressing problem, the more likely it is that spam legislation will be introduced. And that won't be good, whatever one thinks of spam. Congress operates by catering to special interests and popular calls for "action." Doesn't matter to them what … [View More]
