Other Hagengruber fun with taxpayers' money

Saturday 8/15/98 8:04 AM J Orlin Grabbe I read Nuclear BIOS Sandia Scraps Guided Nuke Project We were just having fun, Hagengruber says Sandia National Laboratories has shut down an effort to design a guided nuclear bomb that critics say was aimed at Third World targets. Sandia pulled the plug because of controversy over the fact that the lab never received permission for the project from senior levels of the Clinton administration, said Sandia vice president Roger Hagengruber. A flight test scheduled for next month in which an unarmed prototype was to have been dropped from an airplane has been canceled, Hagengruber said, and lab scientists will wrap up their reports on their four-year work on the project by the end of September. Critics said the $15.5 million project was intended to give U.S. military forces a new kind of nuclear bomb that could be used in conflicts against small nations trying to acquire nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. ... http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ At the height of implementing the seismic data authenticator http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm based on NSAs deficient algorithm. See Appendix S http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm#apps I SQUANDERED about $50k EACH WEEK on a flawed concept based and a deficient algorithm. My ROUGH guess that I WROTE OVER $250,000 in purchase orders for the Sandia seismic data authenticator! This amount DID NOT INCLUDE MY SALARY, a TECHNICIAN, and Travel. The first implementation was done in 1974, by R. E. D. Stewart, D. A. Reynolds, and J. G. Deasey. This was a "bench test" implementation in the sense that the algorithm was done in hardware wire, wrapped on "cash" cards, and placed in a test rack. http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm Reynolds and Deasy did the work. Stewart was one of Hagengubers spook shop [building 868] employees. Stewart merely wrote the report. Stewart wrote that the cost of the prototype was $400,000 if my memory is correct. The money came from outside Sandia, perhaps NSA or DARPA. I was ordered by project leader H B Durham to hold the cost down. I was also ordered by Durham follow NSA's orders. Durhams exact words were If they want a pink overcoat, sell them a pink overcoat. I KNEW while I was doing the work that both the data authentication concept was flawed - multiple redundant stations is the correct AND CURRENTLY IN USE concept - and the algorithm was BAD. So did Durham from what he told me. Durham regarded the data authenticator as a necessary political evil, was my opinion. Durhams boss was John Holovka. Holovkas boss was Paul Stokes. Stokes told me that the concept of data authentication was invented at Sandia and that he, Stokes, invented it. Stokes ordered the data authenticator fielded over the classification objections of NSA. Stokes boss was ROGER HAGENGRUBER. Ive been involved with shift register implementation work for a LONG TIME. It has been over about 27 years since I directed any Ph.D. students http://www-hto.usc.edu/software/seqaln/doc/html/gfsr.3.html http://www.friction-free-economy.com/ http://www.mhpcc.edu/general/john.html So I documented the bad NSA algorithm and implementation advice. http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm My SAND report cost A LOT OF MONEY to produce for the REPORT ALONE. But NOT ALL OF THE MONEY WAS WASTED. 1 http://www.apcatalog.com/cgi-bin/AP?ISBN=0125475705&LOCATION=US&FORM=FORM2 2 http://jya.com/f86/whpf86.htm The seismic data authenticator is ANOTHER OF ROGER HAGENGRUBERS PROJECTS Later bill Friday 8/14/98 9:06 AM John Young http://www.jya.com/index.htm J Orlin Grabbe http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ Roger Hagengruber is making news http://www.abqjournal.com/scitech/1sci8-14.htm Hagengruber 1 was Jim Durham's office mate when Hagengruber was new at Sandia. H. B. Durham who served as project leader http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm 2 was C William Childers' boss 3 was James Gosler's boss 4 was Paul Stokes' boss Originator: Paul A. Stokes Date: 4/28/92 http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm 5 encouraged Sandia to do more 'work for others' projects like for the FBI and NSA. This includes the 'spiking work' for NSA. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ricono.htm http://www.qainfo.se/~lb/crypto_ag.htm http://caq.com/cryptogate 6 told employees that Hagengruber favored shifting Sandia labs from DOE control to DOD control. 7 was one of the main people involved in getting me fired and CAUSING THIS MESS. http://www.aci.net/kalliste/speccoll.htm http://www.aci.net/kalliste/nukearse.htm http://www.aci.net/kalliste/sandcryp.htm http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm 8 Hagengruber looks like he may have relative working at Sandia HAGENGRUBER,MICHAEL L.

Creating Wealth In America >From the desk of Robert Allen, The Author of 2 Mega Best-Sellers, Nothing Down and Creating Wealth in America. San Diego, California 11:29 P.M. "I can't sleep until I get this off my chest." "I'm extremely frustrated." Odds are that nine out of ten people who receive this letter will discard it without a second thought. Yet, I know that I have discovered a secret that could change your financial life forever! And I'm willing to share it with you for FREE. Do you want to end your money pressures forever? Do you want to double your income? Do you want to build an extra stream of income quickly? If you answered yes, then let me show you how you can begin living your dreams, this year before it's too late. I'll get right to the point. As it says on the letterhead, my name is Robert Allen. I'm famous for my two #1 New York Times best-selling books. Nothing Down and Creating Wealth in America. There are lots of millionaires who credit their success to one of my books or seminars. So when I share this secret with you, I want you to know that I've done my homework. Here it comes. I have discovered what I believe is the perfect home-based business. Although I'm well known for real-estate investment books and seminars, this new business has absolutely nothing to do with real-estate. In fact, it's much easier and far less risky. It involves: -No employees -Little risk -Little start up cash -It's so simple, anyone can do it You could be earning $1,000 a week in as little as 90 days. One person I know went from zero to $3,000 a week in 60 days. That's $150,000 a year extra, hassle-free income! In my 20 years of research, I can honestly say, "I've never seen a faster, easier way to create a stream of income". I know this sounds too good to be true. Frankly, I didn't believe it myself at first. Finally, I agreed to check it out. As a test, I selected a small group of people and introduced them to this incredible opportunity. Almost immediately, many of them started earning profits. Within a week, many were earning incomes of $4,000 per month in net cash flow. Now, some of them are cashing checks for $3,000 a week. And this is just the beginning! Their earning potential could be unlimited! Would you like to learn how to do that? I'd love to show you how. But only if you're interested enough to make one telephone call. The number to call immediately is 1-888-572-3714. It's a 3-minute, 24-hour recorded message. This may be the answer you have been seeking. Warmly, Robert G. Allen P.S. I want to show you how to create extra streams of income quickly. Go to the phone and call now 1-888-572-3714. ****************************** 53634

I have seen the future...
by jhuy87ik＠yahoo.com 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

Here is the information that you requested concerning your attendance at the last Computer/Internet Expo or when you purchased the software from one our business affiliates. I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE And it will change your world soon... I receive a lot of telephone calls. All of them interesting-some of them fascinating. Seldom though, do I receive a call that I would truly refer to as "compelling." That is, of course, until my phone rang about 3 weeks ago. I still can't believe it. Odd call. Gentleman wanted some information-specific information. Of course I had a few questions that I needed answered first. "What's the product?" "Can't tell you," came a rather hollow reply. "Can't tell me? Why not?" I pressed, becoming increasingly more curious-and irritated-by the moment. Seeming to change the subject he said, "We want you to come take a look, and give us your opinion." "Come where? And give you my opinion on what?" "We'll send you a plane ticket." Three days later, I found myself staring out the window of that early morning Delta flight as we made our final approach, wondering what in the world I have got myself into. Met with the founders and the young man who had invented the technology. I guess it was about 55 minutes into the presentation that I understood what these guys were up to, and the profound effect this was going to have upon the world-our world. While I sat there riveted on the CEO's every word, transfixed by the passion emanating from his steel blue eyes, I felt like some character in a spy novel, conspiring on a plot to overthrow the government. One day, I'll tell you the whole story. What you ask could have such a profound effect upon our world? THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE TELE-COMMUNICATION INDUSTRY AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS!! I've recently been invited to the high technology company discussed above. It is a new publicly traded company. It will be the Microsoft of the telephone industry. It is extremely well funded and has patented high technology. The proprietary technology is the most significant advance in over 100 years of tele-communications. Protected by 2 patents covering 48 applications, we have a private network infrastructure at a pre-opening investment of approximately 23 million dollars. We are not re-sellers of Long Distance time; rather a direct competitor to AT&T and others. To illustrate the potential of this proprietary technology: the internal cost of AT&T to complete a call is calculated at approximately 3 cents per minute; MCI and Sprint the second and third largest competitor based on cost of approximately 4 cents per minute. Our private network "compression technology" can accomplish the same call for as little as 2/ 100th of a cent per minute. For example, AT&T and MCI just announced they were going to cut their basic rates by 5% during the daytime and 15% during the nighttime. On a 15 minute coast to coast call AT&T's new price will be $4.65 during the day for their average customer, our regular price to every customer every day (24 hours per day, 7 days per week) is $1.18. We can afford to beat AT&T pricing because of our technology. But you ask, do I have to use any special equipment. Absolutely not. Just pick up the phone and call the party you want to reach. Pricing is only the tip of the iceberg with our new technology. Our multimedia products are going to make your life so much easier. Star Trek is here, right now and our smart communications platform will bring it to you. AT&T, MCI, and Sprint, look out there is a new major player in town. We will only work with a limited number of individuals to launch this company. If you think you have what it takes or have proven that you do, do not wait a moment longer. This is a ground floor business opportunity, with a compensation package potentially 300% more lucrative than our nearest competitors. Would you agree I have something here that spells opportunity? If yes, we need to talk further, immediately. Call for information and cassette 1-800-741-6240 Please Leave your name and telephone number and the best time to reach you. ************************************************************ Removal Instructions... It is in no way my intention to send anything to anyone who is not interested in the information; If you would like to receive future updates, simply called 1-800-741-6240 and indicate your name, address, and telephone number Please complete all information. If we do not hear from you, you will be automatically removed from future updates and will not be contacted again.

Announcement: Cryptanalysis of Frog (an AES Candidate)
by Bruce Schneier 18 Dec '03

18 Dec '03

Results Announcement: D. Wagner, N. Ferguson, and B. Schneier, "Cryptanalysis of Frog," Counterpane Systems Report, Aug 1998. Abstract: We examine some attacks on the FROG cipher. First we give a differential attack which uses about $2^{58}$ chosen plaintexts and very little time for the analysis; it works for about $2^{-33.0}$ of the keyspace. Then we describe a linear attack which uses $2^{56}$ known texts and works for $2^{-31.8}$ of the keyspace. The linear attack can also be converted to a ciphertext-only attack using $2^{64}$ known ciphertexts. Also, the decryption function of FROG is a lot weaker than the encryption function. We show a differential attack on the decryption function that requires $2^{36}$ chosen ciphertexts and works on $2^{-29.3}$ of the keyspace. Using our best attack an attacker with a sufficient number of cryptanalytical targets can expect to recover his first key after $2^{56.7}$ work. Taken together, these observations suggest that FROG is not a very strong candidate for the AES. This paper is available at http://www.counterpane.com/publish.html, and will be made available at the AES Workshop next week.
