Aboriginal voting and the 1967 Referendum
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear One Nation supporter in NSW I would draw your attention to the following press release by Pauline Hanson today: Aboriginal voting and the 1967 Referendum It is clear Pauline Hanson is often misrepresented by the press and the recent headlines headlines that suggest she questioned Aboriginal Australian's rights to vote is yet another example of selective reporting. Is this because of the search for what will be the most inflammatory or is it just that some members of the press pick out of context what they believe will do the most damage to Pauline Hanson? "I have not and would not question the right to vote of any Australian citizen. What I question is whether Australians would have thought twice about their vote in the 1967 referendum if they had known their attempt to bring about equality was going to cause the pendulum to go the other way. "The main point of the 1967 referendum was the change of section 51 of the constitution that allowed the government to make special laws with respect to Aborigines. It is from this that successive governments have created race based policies such as Abstudy and 1.5% loans for Aboriginals starting businesses. "Aboriginal Australians like all Australians should and do have the right to vote but no one should be treated differently on the basis of race - all Australians should be treated equally and the same. I am quite certain that if Australians had understood where the 1967 referendum would lead, many would have voted differently. "These special laws based on race have led to reverse discrimination and the rorting of taxpayers money without helping the Aborigines in most need. We must assist Aborigines, but as Australians in need, not on the basis of race. We must not make laws that set Australians apart and are open to abuse by those who pretend to look after the Aboriginal people. "It is often reported that I want to take benefits from Aboriginal people, that is not correct and never was correct. It is true many Aboriginal people are seriously disadvantaged but they do not have a monopoly on being disadvantaged and should not be singled out on the basis of race. Everyone should be assisted on the basis of need." Statement issued by Pauline Hanson MP, member for Oxley ----------- GWB Scott Balson

Re: GAK 4 -- For whom the Doorbell tolls
by Charlie_Kaufman＠iris.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

GAK4 is technically inaccurate but very good metaphor by which to consider this proposal. I believe this is a minor skirmish in the war between civil libertarians and Big Brother with industry playing the role of arms merchant. It is not Government Access to Keys, it is Government Access to Encrypted Data, which for everyones purposes is the same thing. In answer to the question: "Should Cisco and friends be allowed to export this technology?", of course they should. People should be allowed to export whatever they want. Even if you're Big Brother, this proposal enables all the same capabilities as GAK, so there is no reason to oppose it. In answer to the question: "Is this a 'compromise' that addresses the issues of civil libertarians?", not a bit. The devil is in the details, of course, in issues of whether the government can ask the encryption points for copies of the data in real time, in an unaudited fashion, and/or with what kind of "trusted third party" intermediaries. But these questions are exactly akin to the details to be worked out with GAK and self-escrow. In answer to the question: "Is there anything at all different between this proposal and GAK?", the answer is some, and the differences might be relevant to some. This proposal is a little better than GAK for law enforcement because it would be easier to use and they tend to be technically unsophisticated. It is a little worse than GAK for the NSA because the extra data flows mean that it is harder to conduct surveillance in a totally undetectable way. It favors some vendors over others because it favors those who want to encrypt at firewalls over those who want to encrypt end-to-end. It might slow overall progress in network security because end-to-end encryption is technically superior (though harder to deploy) and universal firewall to firewall encryption might reduce the demand for it. In answer to the question: "Would approval of this proposal be a good or a bad thing?", the answer is ambiguous for the civil libertarian side. Any time a new thing is allowed to be exported, it increases the flexibility of vendors in crafting solutions and is likely to increase overall security. On the other hand, anything which makes continuation of export controls less in-your-face-painful will decrease pressure to repeal them and therefore may in the long run decrease overall security. And anything which makes it easier to make systems secure against all attackers other than Big Brother brings closer the disasterous day when non-GAK crypto can be outlawed. If you're Big Brother, approval seems to be uniformly a good thing. It garners political points among the unsophisticated as being willing to make "technical compromises". It costs nothing in terms of access. And it may bring closer the glorious day when non-GAK crypto can be outlawed. --Charlie Kaufman

NYT Crypto OpEd
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The NYT has a fairly good OpEd on encryption today, written by a novelist, who makes a good case for the citizen's need for the privacy protection, now that there are a zillion ways computers pry into private affairs. http://www.nytimes.com For those outside the US: NYT today began its free worldwide online service, so the whole world can log on to its prying computers. (Non-USes heretofore had to pay for privacy loss.) It claims to have 4 million daily online consumers and is happy to run an advertiser drivern operation to suck in millions more around the planet. Take note, Slate.

Steve Langford for Governor
by abcdefg＠mindspring.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

FOUR REASONS TO VOTE FOR STEVE LANGFORD HE IS PRO-BUSINESS Steve Langford is the only candidate for Governor who has paid the bills of a business and passed bills in the General Assembly. Langford Construction, his family business, was awarded the Family Business of the Year Award for 1995 by the Michael J. Coles School of Business at Kennesaw State University. Steve Langford was given a score of 92% by the National Federation of Independent Business (the only other Democratic candidate for Governor in the General Assembly got 67%). HE IS PRO-CHOICE Steve Langford opposes any government interference in your right to make decisions about reproductive health--and he has the voting record to prove it: - Voted against state-mandated lectures and forced waiting periods. - Voted against--and took the Senate well to speak against--Senate Bill 357, which would have banned certain abortion procedures. The Ohio version of this bill was recently ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. HE IS PRO-ENVIRONMENT Steve Langford's Senate Bill 500 is the bill that made the City of Atlanta pay fines for polluting the Chattahoochee--and finally got the city moving toward a solution to the persistent problems of Atlanta's water and sewer systems. Why does it matter? Each time it rains more than 1/10 inch, Atlanta sewers overflow into the Chattahoochee. Of course, if you live downstream of Atlanta, you already knew that. HE IS PRO-TAXPAYER Steve Langford introduced a bill in the 1998 General Assembly that would give you a rebate when the state has a surplus (if you owed $1,000 in Georgia income taxes last year, you would have gotten a $100 rebate on your taxes). No surplus? No rebate. Makes sense, doesn't it? LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE? VISIT STEVE LANGFORD'S WEBSITE AT www.steve-langford.org GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

Langford Construction, his family business, was awarded the Family Business of the Year Award for 1995 by the Michael J. Coles School of Business at Kennesaw State University. Steve Langford was given a score of 92% by the National Federation of Independent Business (the only other Democratic candidate for Governor in the General Assembly got 67%). HE IS PRO-CHOICE Steve Langford opposes any government interference in your right to make decisions about reproductive health--and he has the voting record to prove it: - Voted against state-mandated lectures and forced waiting periods. - Voted against--and took the Senate well to speak against--Senate Bill 357, which would have banned certain abortion procedures. The Ohio version of this bill was recently ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. HE IS PRO-ENVIRONMENT Steve Langford's Senate Bill 500 is the bill that made the City of Atlanta pay fines for polluting the Chattahoochee--and finally got the city moving toward a solution to the persistent problems of Atlanta's water and sewer systems. Why does it matter? Each time it rains more than 1/10 inch, Atlanta sewers overflow into the Chattahoochee. Of course, if you live downstream of Atlanta, you already knew that. HE IS PRO-TAXPAYER Steve Langford introduced a bill in the 1998 General Assembly that would give you a rebate when the state has a surplus (if you owed $1,000 in Georgia income taxes last year, you would have gotten a $100 rebate on your taxes). No surplus? No rebate. Makes sense, doesn't it? LIKE WHAT YOU SEE? INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE? VISIT STEVE LANGFORD'S WEBSITE AT www.steve-langford.org GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

"EFF DES Cracker" machine brings honesty to crypto debate
by John Gilmore 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 17, 1998 CONTACTS: Alexander Fowler, +1 202 462 5826, afowler(a)eff.org Barry Steinhardt, +1 415 436 9333 ext. 102, barrys(a)eff.org John Gilmore, +1 415 221 6524, gnu(a)toad.com "EFF DES CRACKER" MACHINE BRINGS HONESTY TO CRYPTO DEBATE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION PROVES THAT DES IS NOT SECURE SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today raised the level of honesty in crypto politics by revealing that the Data Encryption Standard (DES) is insecure. The U.S. government has long pressed industry to limit encryption to DES (and even weaker forms), without revealing how easy it is to crack. Continued adherence to this policy would put critical infrastructures at risk; society should choose a different course. To prove the insecurity of DES, EFF built the first unclassified hardware for cracking messages encoded with it. On Wednesday of this week the EFF DES Cracker, which was built for less than $250,000, easily won RSA Laboratory's "DES Challenge II" contest and a $10,000 cash prize. It took the machine less than 3 days to complete the challenge, shattering the previous record of 39 days set by a massive network of tens of thousands of computers. The research results are fully documented in a book published this week by EFF and O'Reilly and Associates, entitled "Cracking DES: Secrets of Encryption Research, Wiretap Politics, and Chip Design." "Producing a workable policy for encryption has proven a very hard political challenge. We believe that it will only be possible to craft good policies if all the players are honest with one another and the public," said John Gilmore, EFF co-founder and project leader. "When the government won't reveal relevant facts, the private sector must independently conduct the research and publish the results so that we can all see the social trade-offs involved in policy choices." The nonprofit foundation designed and built the EFF DES Cracker to counter the claim made by U.S. government officials that governments cannot decrypt information when protected by DES, or that it would take multimillion-dollar networks of computers months to decrypt one message. "The government has used that claim to justify policies of weak encryption and 'key recovery,' which erode privacy and security in the digital age," said EFF Executive Director Barry Steinhardt. It is now time for an honest and fully informed debate, which we believe will lead to a reversal of these policies." "EFF has proved what has been argued by scientists for twenty years, that DES can be cracked quickly and inexpensively," said Gilmore. "Now that the public knows, it will not be fooled into buying products that promise real privacy but only deliver DES. This will prevent manufacturers from buckling under government pressure to 'dumb down' their products, since such products will no longer sell." Steinhardt added, "If a small nonprofit can crack DES, your competitors can too. Five years from now some teenager may well build a DES Cracker as her high school science fair project." The Data Encryption Standard, adopted as a federal standard in 1977 to protect unclassified communications and data, was designed by IBM and modified by the National Security Agency. It uses 56-bit keys, meaning a user must employ precisely the right combination of 56 1s and 0s to decode information correctly. DES accounted for more than $125 million annually in software and hardware sales, according to a 1993 article in "Federal Computer Week." Trusted Information Systems reported last December that DES can be found in 281 foreign and 466 domestic encryption products, which accounts for between a third and half of the market. A DES cracker is a machine that can read information encrypted with DES by finding the key that was used to encrypt that data. DES crackers have been researched by scientists and speculated about in the popular literature on cryptography since the 1970s. The design of the EFF DES Cracker consists of an ordinary personal computer connected to a large array of custom chips. It took EFF less than one year to build and cost less than $250,000. This week marks the first public test of the EFF DES Cracker, which won the latest DES-cracking speed competition sponsored by RSA Laboratories (http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/) Two previous RSA challenges proved that massive collections of computers coordinated over the Internet could successfully crack DES. Beginning Monday morning, the EFF DES Cracker began searching for the correct answer to this latest challenge, the RSA DES Challenge II-2. In less than 3 days of searching, the EFF DES Cracker found the correct key. "We searched more than 88 billion keys every second, for 56 hours, before we found the right 56-bit key to decrypt the answer to the RSA challenge, which was 'It's time for those 128-, 192-, and 256-bit keys,'" said Gilmore. Many of the world's top cryptographers agree that the EFF DES Cracker represents a fundamental breakthrough in how we evaluate computer security and the public policies that control its use. "With the advent of the EFF DES Cracker machine, the game changes forever," said Whitfield Diffie, Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems and famed co-inventor of public key cryptography. "Vast Internet collaborations cannot be concealed and so they cannot be used to attack real, secret messages. The EFF DES Cracker shows that it is easy to build search engines that can." "The news is not that a DES cracker can be built; we've known that for years," said Bruce Schneier, the President of Counterpane Systems. "The news is that it can be built cheaply using off-the-shelf technology and minimal engineering, even though the department of Justice and the FBI have been denying that this was possible." Matt Blaze, a cryptographer at AT&T Labs, agreed: "Today's announcement is significant because it unambiguously demonstrates that DES is vulnerable, even to attackers with relatively modest resources. The existence of the EFF DES Cracker proves that the threat of "brute force" DES key search is a reality. Although the cryptographic community has understood for years that DES keys are much too small, DES-based systems are still being designed and used today. Today's announcement should dissuade anyone from using DES." EFF and O'Reilly and Associates have published a book about the EFF DES Cracker, "Cracking DES: Secrets of Encryption Research, Wiretap Politics, and Chip Design." The book contains the complete design details for the EFF DES Cracker chips, boards, and software. This provides other researchers with the necessary data to fully reproduce, validate, and/or improve on EFF's research, an important step in the scientific method. The book is only available on paper because U.S. export controls on encryption potentially make it a crime to publish such information on the Internet. EFF has prepared a background document on the EFF DES Cracker, which includes the foreword by Whitfield Diffie to "Cracking DES." See http://www.eff.org/descracker/.

HANSON BEING BANNED: PLEASE ACT ON THIS EMAIL
by Global Web Builders 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear One Nation supporter in NSW, Pauline Hanson has been banned from using council facilities in her electorate of Blair. The Labor-dominated Ipswich City Council, the heart of Pauline Hanson's seat of Blair, has returned to their old politically motivated tricks against the One Nation party. With the recent Queensland State Election turning the mainstream parties on their heads the word has gone out - do anything that you can to deny One Nation their right to a "fair go". The Council allowed One Nation to use their facilities after a 6 month long ban following the breaking of a council hall window at the party's launch by protesters in April 1997. The ban was imposed on the basis of "protecting council staff from danger". http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/news/onenation/launch.html An example of recent (1998) pre-state election use by Pauline Hanson of the Ipswich City Council facilities can be seen at: http://www.gwb.com.au/onenation/qldstate/polaunch/index.htm at the above link Pauline Hanson launched One Nation's state policies without any security problems or risk to council staff. One Nation used Ipswich City Council facilities on several occasions this year without any protesters even making an appearance. The basis of "fair go" and "freedom of assembly" is equity in decision making. At a recent Labor Party meeting One Nation members demonstrated peacefully outside the council venue yet no such threat or withholding of council facilities to Labor has been suggested - nor should it. Following the State Election the rules have apparently changed. The Ipswich City Council this week rejected an application by Pauline Hanson's One Nation to use council facilities on the basis of "concern for the safety of staff". The mayor of Ipswich, John Nugent, was one of those voting against One Nation's use of council facilities. This is laughable as the last time protesters appeared at a One Nation meeting was over a year ago in June 1997. One Nation has (to ensure council staff safety) offered to supply private security and ensure that sufficient police are on standby - this offer has been rejected. The link below will take you to an image of one of the chief protagonists, Councillor Paul Tully, a Labor supporter who has made it his life ambition to destroy what Pauline Hanson and you stand for. http://www.gwb.com.au/gwb/news/onenation/gold/tully.jpg Can we let him win? I don't think so. I appeal to you to write, in the strongest terms possible, to the local Ipswich paper, The Queensland Times. Their email address is: qt(a)gil.com.au Remember to keep your letter to under 200 words to ensure publication. Issues to look at: ================== 1) The damage to Ipswich's reputation through these undemocratic antics. 2) Freedom of speech. 3) Labor's underlying undemocratic motives. 4) What role the ratepayers who voted Hanson have been allowed in on this decision by the Labor council? I encourage you to send the Queensland Times an email letting them know how YOU FEEL about the Ipswich City Council's decision to prevent Pauline Hanson from using ratepayer's facilities.

Re: GAK 4 -- For whom the Doorbell tolls
by Charlie_Kaufman＠iris.com 17 Dec '03

I believe there is nothing really good, really evil, or even really novel about the Cisco et al proposal. That makes it hard for a technical community like this one to evaluate it. The controversy should not be around the technology, but around the spin-doctoring. It is both wrong and dangerous to portray this as a step forward in resolving the crypto export debate. It is comparable to the Lotus Notes 64/40 encryption scheme or the Microsoft/Netscape and later Lotus scheme for making strong cryptography available between exportable browsers and international banks. These may be significant to some customers and to some vendors, but they are not steps toward resolving the controversy. They are more likely to extend the controversy, since they decrease the urgency of the debate for some of the players. There is no reason to believe this controversy will be settled anytime soon. The battle continues with no plausible resolution because both sides believe they will win if they hold out long enough. Civil Libertarians believe that the public will not stand for the sorts of draconian controls that will be necessary to enable universal snooping and that the courts will rule such controls unconstitutional. The argument against this view is that the American people are sheep and the Constitution says what the Supreme Court says it does and have you looked at the makeup of the Supreme Court lately? Big Brother thinks he will win because he has the pictures. And because he always does. So think of these confusing technological tweaks as sending food aid to the starving peasants in the war zone. It might extend the war by masking some of its most painful effects, and hence might in the long run be a bad thing. But the effect is ambiguous at worst, and it's difficult to argue with the humanitarian groups that want to do it. I was involved with choosing the wording of the Lotus press release around 64/40. It was a constant effort to restrain the enthusiasm of the marketeers who wanted to talk about how wonderful it was. I think we overall did a good job of making it clear that this was not a great thing, and that we hoped it would not be a long term thing. It was a small improvement for a limited set of customers while we continued the war. If you read Cisco's publications, they have been fairly restrained in their enthusiasm. But some of their partners and some of the press coverage has gotten completely out of hand. The most offensive testimonial is from Novell: "This solution represents a real step forward for U.S. encryption policy," said Eric Schmidt, CEO of Novell. "At last, we have a market solution that meets the needs of consumers, corporations, law enforcement and national security." This seems like a case where we need to shoot the messenger. --Charlie Kaufman

EFF Announces GAK 5
by Charlie_Kaufman＠iris.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Given that the EFF has demonstrated hardware capable of breaking DES in a short period of time, they should now form an industry alliance asking for general export permission for DES. If law enforcement ever needs to access any encrypted data, they can bring it to EFF, along with a court order, and EFF will "recover" the key. This should be allowed under the existing Key Recovery exception, which says things are exportable if you provide the government with a mechanism for getting at the keys! Of course, some will claim that EFF is selling out to Big Brother by manufacturing this technology, and that granting export permission for DES will only prolong the pain of export controls. Others will claim that it is wonderful that we have finally developed a technology that solves once and for all the crypto debate. Flames will ensue. [Note: In case it is not obvious to everyone, this note is a lame attempt at sarcasm. Please don't hang me.] --Charlie Kaufman

The original paper is available at: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/146/july98/2.html For any precise analysis, use the original document at the aforementionned address. ------------- begin "cut and paste" text --------------- White Paper The Export of Certain Networking Encryption Products under ELAs As An Alternative to "Key Escrow/Recovery Products" under KMI: A Networking Industry White Paper on Encryption Export Controls by Elizabeth Kaufman, Cisco Systems, Inc. and Roszel C. Thomsen II, Thomsen & Burke LLP Encryption Press Release PR Contact: Doug Wills, (408) 527-9475, dwills(a)cisco.com Executive Summary The Clinton Administration's export control policy is designed to promote development of cryptographic products that provide law enforcement agencies with access to encrypted data. Products that implement key escrow/recovery to provide such access are broadly exportable under License Exception KMI. Although some customers have indicated interest in products that implement key escrow/recovery for stored data, customers generally oppose mandatory key escrow/recovery for data in transit. This White Paper proposes that certain networking encryption products that provide for authorized access without key recovery should also be eligible for broad export under appropriate Encryption Licensing Arrangements. The Administration's export control policy must also reflect the equities of the intelligence community. Therefore, the proposed Encryption Licensing Arrangements should be approved subject to riders and conditions designed to prevent the export of strong encryption products to military end-users, for military end-uses, or to any government ministry, agency or department of certain countries. The operational characteristics of networking encryption products to be eligible for export under appropriate Encryption Licensing Arrangements are not complex. Simply stated, the operator action model delivers a 'private door-bell,' not a 'house-key' to parties lawfully seeking access to data. Qualifying products must incorporate an operator-controlled management interface that enables dynamic, real-time access to specified network traffic prior to encryption, or after decryption, at a designated access point. Background In Executive Order 13026 of November 15, 1996, President Clinton said that cryptographic products implementing the Key Management Infrastructure ("KMI") would be eligible for export without licenses after a one-time technical review.1 On December 30, 1996, the Commerce Department's Bureau of Export Administration ("BXA") published an interim rule amending the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR", 15 CFR Part 730 et seq.) that implements Executive Order 13026.2 The better-known provision of this interim rule states that "key escrow or key recovery products" are exportable under License Exception KMI. The term "key escrow or key recovery products" is defined in great detail in Section 740.8(d)(1)(i) and Supplement No. 4 to Part 742 of the EAR. A lesser-known provision of this interim rule states that "other recoverable encryption products" shall receive "favorable consideration" for export. The term "other recoverable encryption items" is defined briefly in Section 740.8(d)(1)(ii) of the EAR, and the type of "favorable consideration" that should be accorded to such products is not defined at all. The ambiguity of this provision provides an opportunity to explore new approaches to exporting cryptographic products. Overview Industry has studied the technical, market and policy issues surrounding the KMI. These studies suggest that there may be market demand for products implementing key escrow/recovery techniques for retrieval of encrypted stored data. Such products would also appear to meet law enforcement's requirements for retrieval of encrypted stored data. However, no market demand exists for products implementing key escrow/recovery techniques for retrieval of encrypted transient data. Eminent cryptographers have argued that key escrow/recovery techniques create unnecessary risks for encrypted transient data.3 The National Security Agency ("NSA") has confirmed these findings.4 The networking industry proposes that certain networking encryption products described in this White Paper may receive wide market acceptance and meet the requirements of law enforcement with respect to transient data without implementing key recovery. The intelligence community's equities, though not reflected in the EAR, must be respected as well. Analysis of Market Requirements In order to meet market requirements, networking encryption products must: (1) provide strong security, (2) adhere to open standards, and (3) support an operator-controlled management mechanism to specify encrypted flows. Strong security is essential for products that encrypt transient data. Customers, particularly service providers, have stated repeatedly and emphatically that they will not purchase products that encrypt transient data, if those products also facilitate unauthorized, covert surveillance by third parties. The government should encourage the deployment of products that implement strong security, because such products will deter certain kinds of crimes, like theft of trade secrets by third parties. Deployment of products that encrypt transient data requires open standards. Without open standards, different vendors' products will not inter-operate, and broad deployment will not be possible. The government should encourage the deployment of standards-compliant products, because it has a shared interest in a common cross-vendor solution and the rapid deployment of strong new viable technologies. Some customers also have indicated that operator-control of encryption flows is a useful feature for network diagnostics and reporting, and for allowing the efficient transmission of non-sensitive data. Customers in regulated industries, such as banking and securities, also may need to monitor their employees' communications from time-to-time. Most customers also desire the ability to respond to a court order without exposing all of their data across the Internet or the public switched telephone network. Analysis of Government Requirements The EAR describes key escrow/recovery products primarily in terms of their utility to law enforcement. The government's interests, however, are not monolithic. The law enforcement and intelligence communities have different requirements. Law enforcement's main priority has been to establish procedures for access to encrypted data in transit that are comparable to existing procedures for voice communications and therefore capable of introduction into evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction. The technical characteristics of the networking encryption products described in this White Paper will be of greatest interest to law enforcement, because these technical characteristics are the key to meeting law enforcement's requirements for access to plaintext. The intelligence community, on the other hand, has not shown much confidence that key escrow/recovery will meet its requirements since the secret Skipjack algorithm and governmental escrow agents featured in the original Clipper Chip were abandoned in favor of vendor-selected algorithms and commercial escrow agents. Its primary concern currently appears to be the broad deployment of encryption technology that does not interfere with current best operational practices. In this regard, the technical characteristics of qualifying products may be of secondary importance to the intelligence community, and proposed riders and conditions on the ELA may be of greater importance. An Alternative to Key Escrow/Recovery for Networking Products Although key escrow/recovery is not acceptable for data in transit, some customers require a mechanism that can reveal real-time plaintext for network diagnostics and reporting, the transmission of non-sensitive data, occasional employee monitoring, and to support law enforcement. The proposed alternative to key escrow/recovery does not require weakened cryptography, yet provides access similar to that currently available for voice communications. Packet switched data networks handle traffic differently than circuit-switched voice networks. Circuit switched voice networks are characterized by the opening of a dedicated circuit where communications are transferred in "real time." Packet switched networks are a statistically-multiplexed environment where communications are routed packet-by-packet, so that data is fragmented but delivered in near real time. In spite of these differences, packet switched data networks can, with some limitations, enable real-time access to plaintext. The proposed alternative to key recovery provides customers with full-strength encryption, while simultaneously enabling the dynamic creation of an access point that allows real-time interception of plaintext based upon the target's source or destination, whether the product is located within an enterprise or at a service provider's premises. Two Access Scenarios: Access in the Enterprise, and Access at a Service Provider's Premises The access point concept is not a perfect solution for all products. For example, it does not easily apply to user-to-user desktop applications. However, it does appear to offer a reasonable alternative to key recovery on many classes of network applications and platforms. Specifically, it is a viable approach to access to plaintext for devices where the individual responsible for data creation/reception is not the same individual responsible for platform operation. Such devices constitute a significant percentage of the available networked platforms, including firewalls, routers, switches and other networking devices. Classes of Network Devices Self-managed 3rd party-managed Single-user Home PC Enterprise desktop Enterprise telephone Set-top box Service Provider VPN Outsourced firewall Multi-user Enterprise network Enterprise server Multi-user workstation Can provide access to plaintext without the end user's knowledge Meeting Law Enforcement Requirements In order to be exportable under the proposed Encryption Licensing Arrangements, networking encryption products must contain a management interface that dynamically controls encryption by source and destination address, and by network protocol, to enable real-time access to selected network traffic prior to encryption or after decryption. The operational characteristics of these products may be summarized below: a) A qualifying network encryption product must incorporate an encryption management interface that: i) is remotely accessible; ii) controls the encryption configuration of the platform; iii) configures encryption policy by source and destination network address; iv) enables a remote operator to modify the encryption configuration dynamically; v) enables the interception of network traffic between a specific source and destination either prior to encryption or after decryption at a defined access point; b) A qualifying network encryption product may: i) be hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software; ii) encrypt any network protocol and/or at any network layer; iii) support any a) encryption algorithm b) key length c) key generation mechanism d) key management scheme; iv) be standalone, or integrated with other functions; v) be a single user, multi-user or infrastructure platform; vi) enable interception on the wire, on media (such as a hard disk), via a specialized communications port, or at another defined access point. Two figures that illustrate how qualifying products may provide access to plaintext are set forth in Figures 1 and 2 of this paper. Meeting Intelligence Community's Requirements Current best operational practices are not widely understood by the public, and they may be compromised by the broad deployment of networking encryption products, whether of US or of foreign manufacture. However, the possible loss of access to plaintext communications due to use of commercial cryptography must be analyzed within the broader framework of advances in new technologies. As one eminent cryptographer testified before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Technology and the Law, "Advances in emitter identification, network penetration techniques, and the implementation of cryptanalytic or crypto-diagnostic operations within intercept equipment are likely to provide more new sources of intelligence than are lost as a result of commercial use of cryptography."5 In further recognition of and deference to the intelligence community's equities, industry is not requesting authorization to export products with key lengths exceeding 56 bits to military end-users or for military end-uses, or to any government ministry, agency or department of the countries listed in "Tier 3" (as defined for purposes of computer export controls). Exports of products exceeding 56 bits to these end-users would require a separate license issued by BXA after full inter-agency review under applicable Executive Orders. The differences between the proposed ELA and export under License Exception KMI are summarized in the chart below: License Exception KMI Proposed ELA Eligible Products Key recovery products Products providing access to plaintext at intermediate stations of the data network Territory All except Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria Same as KMI Eligible End-users All end-users are eligible (1) All end-users are eligible for 56 bit products, HOWEVER, (2) Products exceeding 56 bits would not be eligible for government agencies and military end-users in Tier 3 countries Duration Indefinite Three years, renewable in three year increments Reporting Biannual Same as KMI Conclusion This White Paper has defined a class of networking encryption products that should be authorized for export under appropriate Encryption Licensing Arrangements. The operational characteristics of qualifying products ensure that law enforcement will continue to enjoy authorized real-time access to plaintext References: 1. 61 FR 58767. 2. 61 FR 68572. 3.

John Gilmore and the Great Internet Snake Drive
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Congrats to Mr. Gilmore, EFF, et. al. for a very impressive DES crack. It seems that Gilmore and Moore's Law have just turned the once-respected DES into cryptographic snake-oil. He keeps hurting snakes like that, he's gonna get himself canonized. ;-). Seriously. Many thanks to Mr. Gilmore for proving, once again, that lobbying is pointless, and that physics is not optional. Outstanding. Marvellous.

In a message dated 7/17/98 5:48:16 PM Central Daylight Time, jf_avon(a)citenet.net quotes: << >Politicians and diapers should be changed regularly. and for the same reasons! >> It's the easy way out (and I mean DOWN and OUT)! I mean, if we're simply going to change them out everytime, why bother to figure out which ones aren't evil/stupid (I mean, out of all those politicians, there's got to be 1 or 2! I think. ;-) )? See, if we just simply change politicians at every chance, then we throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. The simple solutions aren't always the best ones.

FWD: new MIT SPKI software release
by Bill Stewart 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

fredette(a)theory.lcs.mit.edu (Matt Fredette) writes: ================================================== Subject: new MIT software release A new release of the MIT SDSI/SPKI C software distribution is available. Go to http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~cis/sdsi.html and follow the software distribution links in the paragraph about SDSI/SPKI 2.0. Note that you must be a US or Canadian citizen, etc., to get this software. The following binary builds are available: sdsi20-0.4.0-sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4.tar.gz sdsi20-0.4.0-sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1.tar.gz sdsi20-0.4.0-i386-pc-solaris2.6.tar.gz sdsi20-0.4.0-i386-unknown-netbsd1.1.tar.gz sdsi20-0.4.0-mips-sgi-irix5.3.tar.gz An Intel Linux build will hopefully be available soon. These are all built from the source distribution: sdsi20-0.4.0.tar.gz As usual, many bugs were fixed in this release. See ChangeLog in the source distribution for the details. More general notes from the 0.4.0 README: Release 0.4.0 ------------- This code now requires (sequence )s to conform to the expected grammer in the structure-06 draft, i.e., it supports the macro "def" and "ref" mechanism, and, if threshold subject support is compiled in, the "process-threshold" mechanism. It will reject sequences that use the old (do hash ) or old (do k-of-n) directives. DSA support has been finished, and is compiled into the library by default. This means that SDSI2_FEATURE_STRUCTURE6_SIGS is defined by default; since this changes the grammar for signatures to match what is expected in the structure-06 draft, earlier signatures will break. See the applicable blurb in the 0.3.0 notes of the README for details. PGP support has been extended to handle what I believe to be the majority of PGP 5.0 keyrings. If your PGP private keyring uses IDEA or CAST5 with MD5 or SHA1 to seal the secrets, sdsi2sh should be able to read it. PGP DSA keys are fully supported. The SDSI distribution now includes MIT-written multi-precision integer and DES libraries. This means that you don't have to track down and compile GNU MP and Eric Young's libdes if you don't want to. If you do still want to compile with one or both of these other libraries, you can - see the main documentation for instructions on when you may want to, and how. The reduction code has been completely rewritten. It's separated out from sequences, in its own little internal API. You step a reduction with rules until you run out of them, and then you can get out the conclusion that results from those rules. It's possible to reduce a whole (sequence ) into its equivalent (cert ), or to just reduce two (cert )s into one. The cache API has changed considerably, to present the face of a generic S-expression cache. sdsi2_cache_add_search_term is a single function used for incrementally building a cache query, that works a lot more intuitively than the old add_search_.._term functions did. The actual cache format has not changed. The ugly story of unparsing S-expressions, or filling a sdsi2Sexp, has been completely retold. It is now possible to allocate a new sdsi2Stream, simply "push" canonical elements (like whole sdsi2Sexp *, sdsi2ByteString *, integers, etc.) onto it, and then just call sdsi2_sexp_parse to have it parse that into a new sdsi2Sexp. Two new commands have been added to sdsi2sh: "load" and "save" allow you to load a variable from and save a variable to a file.

Live At The CypherMore - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Live At The CypherMore East - THEM...LIVE! - SAHMD!!! _____________________________________________________ Actually, the movie, produced in 1988, and released just in time to throw the Author into a hysterical state of Termial Paranoia, was called, "They Live, and still is. (called that, I mean). [EditWhore's Node: The reason the Author never bothers to go back and correct his spelling, syntax (whatever that is) and miscarriage-returns of linguistic justice, is that her mentor, who was as equally good a pitcher as she was a catcher, told her, "Never rewrite, the reader might be gaining on you."] It was a dark and normal night... Until the Author booted up SCO Xenix at 4 a.m. in a sleazy little motel room in ButtFuck, North Dakota. Then, as the Daemons, Zombies, Orphan Zombies and the dreaded Cron were released to wreak their havoc in ToshibaWorld, in the heart of the Author's 5200C portable computer, LadyLuck, not having a date for the evening, intervened to provide mitigating circumstances which would eventually become evidence in the Court Of Public Opinion as to the mitigating circumstances which needed to be considered before sentencing the Author to a lifetime of Hard Labor, trying to give birth to a new perceptive world-view paridigm in which WeTheSheeple felt perfectly comfortable returning a judgement of, "Guilty, by reason of insanity." (As well as a guilty verdict on the misdemeanor charge of, "I don't care if the people from the Justice Department *are* reaming you a new cornhole on my living room floor, I don't want you using that kind of language in front of my children.") For the Author, as his (or her...or their) mind began to break under the strain of trying to hold back the Forces of Evil that escaped from Bell Laboratories, hidden in the carry-on baggage of the Unix Operating System, the only hope of sanity seemed to lie in turning on the BoobTube (even though they visually bleep out the naked boobs on TV in North Dakota), and trying to defend HimOrHer self with the technological opiate of the asses...Gilligan's Island. It was not to be... Instead, despite the fact that TV goes off the air around 10 p.m. in the smaller northern states, the Author found himself finding himself foundering in a flow of Taoist synchronicity which goes far beyond the temporal concerns of everyday life, resulting in him living a schizophrenic existence, torn between Arizona and Saskatchewan, neither of which adheres to the Daylight Saving Time standard that decent, God-fearing Americans and Canadians hold sacred, whereupon the movie, "They Live" sprung on to the Midget Silver Screen sitting atop a faded yellow table with cigarette burns around the edges, completely out of visual harmony with the vile-green colored rug with a multitude of cigarette burns dotting its nearly threadbare surface. The Author found HimOrHerSelf battling the Mutant Monsters created by 'our engineers' talking to 'their engineers' (without ever managing to discover why your hard drive only crashes just before your job-performance review), as well as simultaneously drinking in the sights and sounds of a movie showing on a TV set which had not yet been plugged in--a movie in which a pair of "men who love men, every now and then" [WAS: Male Bonding In America - I Think Some People Are Going Just A Little Too Far] found themselves, on a dark and stormy night [(c) Snoopy], discovering a box of dark glasses which enabled them to see the scum- sucking aliens living in humanity's midst, without our knowledge. The Author, for the first time realizing the dire warning hidden in ZZ Top's classic musical offering, 'Cheap Sun Glasses,' decided that, given the fact that the theme of his last music album, "Please! Stop Me Before I Sing Again," had been embraced by the music-loving public to such a degree that he was hounded out of the industry, SheOrHe's only realistic course of action, in order to warn others about the frightening dangers to be found lurking within the heart of the Unix Operating System, was to use the Medium to proclaim the Message (even though, according to Marshal McClueHandLuke, they are identical twins, although in a microcosm-macrocosm sort of way, like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwartzenager). Thus was born, "The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre - The True Story Of The InterNet - Part I." The rest is history... Well, not *all* of it is history, since we are currently writing some of it, now...which you are reading...now. And the rEvolution is NOW!, too, so... Lying Awake In Bed At 4 a.m. Burning Question #38679: "Was the <Pg Up> key invented by a sorry, drunken asshole who could never keep track of the point he was trying to make?" Wait here, I'll be back... <Pg Up> <Pg Up> <Pg Up> <Pg Down> <Pg Down> <Enter> "Shit!" <BackSpace> <BackSpace> <BackSpace> "Fuck! Godamnn it!" 'o' <Enter> <Pg Down> OK, like I was saying... MultiMedia... The Author, in 1989, had discovered and explored the first, true VirtualRealityMultiMediaExperience, in which HeOrShe could no longer distinguish between the Medium, the Message, the Meaning, the MeanderingMind, or the voices inside her head which told her that the Messages From Mars coming through the fillings in her teeth were FUD, disseminated by an insurance sales activist with a hidden agenda. Worried about the fact that some egoistical, elitist fuckwad might, at some point in the future, try to claim credit for the Author's discovery of MultiMedia, HeOrShe set Stanley's WayBack Machine to a point which corresponded to the exact Time-Space-Mind equivalent of the Nadir Point between alpha and omega, and could distinctly hear Tim C. May <tcmay(a)got.net> hollering, "I'm going to write about MultiMedia in the CypherPunks archives on the first day the list exists, and you will *never* get credit for the concept." The Author, realizing that the preceeding makes little sense, suddenly realized that all HeOrShe really wanted to point out in this chapter is that, despite the fact that it is a B-grade movie in which Meg Foster never shows her tits, the movie 'They Live' speaks a Truth which needs to be understood by any individual who professes an interest in journeying beyond an imaginary world-view in which he believes that buying the Jeep seen sitting on top of the mountain peak will really result in him getting to fuck the living shit out of the large-breasted blonde bombshell lying across the hood of the vehicle. (Or, alternatively, her thinking that purchasing New Lemon Joy Dish Detergent will really lead to her lifemate doing his share of the dishes, and becoming more romantic, instead of just humping her and then rolling over and going to sleep.) ONE-TIME OFFER!!! [NOT TO BE REPEATED IN THE FUTURE] Any 'True Story of the InterNet' reader who undertakes to watch, and believe the message of, 'They Live', is hereby Officially Absolved of any guilt they may feel in the future, over automatically deleting any post sent to the CypherPunks Disturbed Male LISP by the Author, despite any uneasy feeling they may have that HeOrShe, in spite of the obvious lunacy inherent the MeatSpace Manifestation of the maunuscripts, is truly from the GovernmentHomeForTheCriminallyInsane, and is here to Help (TM) them...

Earn $100 every time OUR phone rings...
by aytsd9238＠sprynet.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

ALL YOU DO IS ADVERTISE THIS 800 NUMBER! THAT'S ALL!! $100 goes to you for EVERY sale that the company closes! Does the idea of making at least $1,000 per week beginning your 2nd week of doing business excite you? How about never having to sell a thing to your customer and never having to talk to ANYONE to make money? I don't know how this could get any easier. EVERY aspect of selling or talking to someone is DONE COMPLETELY by the company! The number one home based business for the 2nd year in a row, Top Secrets is a member of the Better Business Bureau and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. WHAT THIS BUSINESS WILL DO FOR YOU: * Handles all your calls, closes your sales, and sends you WEEKLY commission checks! * It pays you a $100 commission (that's over 50% of the total sale) for EVERY sale. CHECKS put $$$ in your pocket in less than your first week or two... Quick commission earnings build and maintain motivation. ALL YOU DO IS ADVERTISE the toll-free number and your ID number. * You can get STARTED TODAY. Just advertise the business toll-free number with your ID # and let this business CLOSE YOUR SALES every day... They do all the work and YOU GET PAID FOR IT! * You may advertise any way you choose: Bulk E-Mail, Flyers, Classifieds, Postcards, etc. Suppose you use bulk E-Mail, as I am: 100,000 E-Mails with a 1/10th of a percent (0.1%) sales rate at $100 per sale nets $10,000... not too bad. There is nothing else out there that will provide you with an immediate income beginning THIS WEEK with minimal effort. Before you call, I want you to think about the quality of the live operators handling your call. I am convinced you will not find a better team of closers for your own personal sales. You will clearly understand what I am talking about once you call. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS PASS YOU BY. MAKE THE CALL!! 1-800-811-2141 You will be asked for ID #56130 when you call. (Live operators are available from 8 AM-10 PM CST Monday through Saturday and will be able to answer any questions you may have.) Call one of the 24hr TESTIMONIAL lines at 888-703-5389, 888-446-6949, 888-446-6951 or 888-731-3457 (all toll free).
