Adobe Acrobat encryption details
by Fade 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi all, I was hoping someone might be able to point me to details on .PDF file encryption. I'm specifically interested in key-generation (which hash is used?) and if there is consistant known-plaintext in .PDF file headers. I've searched around, and all I can find is that Acrobat uses rc4, which isn't very helpful... Thanks! -=fade=-

>With the exception of some lifestyle options Europeans probably have >less freedoms than Americans. How come that the fraction of Americans in prison is ten times higher than the fraction of West Europeans?

ECHELON SYSTEM
by Ric V. Carvalho 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Thought you all might be interested in seeing this. -R http://www.villagevoice.com/ink/news/33vest.shtml Listening In Suppose, this past weekend, you sent an e-mail to a friend overseas.=20 There's a reasonable possibility your communication was intercepted by a global surveillance system--especially if you happened to discuss last week's bombings in East Africa.=20 Or suppose you're stuck in traffic and in your road rage you whip out a cell phone and angrily call your congressman's office in Washington.=20 There's a chance the government is listening in on that conversation, too (but only for the purposes of "training" new eavesdroppers).=20 Or suppose you're on a foreign trip--vacation, business, relief work--and you send off a fax to some folks that Washington doesn't view too keenly. Your message could be taken down and analyzed by the very same system.=20 That system is called ECHELON and it is controlled by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). In America, it is the Intelligence Network That Dare Not Be Acknowledged. Questions about it at Defense Department briefings are deftly deflected. Requests for information about it under the Freedom of Information Act linger in bureaucratic limbo. Researchers who mention possible uses of it in the presence of intelligence officials are castigated. Members of Congress--theoretically, the people's representatives who provide oversight of the intelligence community--betray no interest in helping anyone find out anything about it. Media outlets (save the award-winning but low-circulation Covert Action Quarterly) ignore it. In the official view of the U.S.=20 Government, it doesn't exist.=20 But according to current and former intelligence officials, espionage scholars, Australian and British investigative reporters, and a dogged Ne= w Zealand researcher, it is all too real. Indeed, a soon-to-be finalized European Parliament report on ECHELON has created quite a stir on the other side of the Atlantic. The report's revelations are so serious that it strongly recommends an intensive investigation of NSA operations.=20 The facts drawn out by these sources reveal ECHELON as a powerful electronic net--a net that snags from the millions of phone, fax, and modem signals traversing the globe at any moment selected communications of interest to a five-nation intelligence alliance. Once intercepted (based on the use of key words in exchanges), those communiqu=E9s are sen= t in real time to a central computer system run by the NSA; round-the-clock shifts of American, British, Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand analysts pour over them in search of . . . what?=20 Originally a Cold War tool aimed at the Soviets, ECHELON has been redirected at civilian targetsworldwide. In fact, as the European Parliament report noted, political advocacy groups like Amnesty International and Greenpeace were amongst ECHELON's targets. The system's awesome potential (and potential for abuse) has spurred some traditional watchdogs to delve deep in search of its secrets, and even prompted some of its minders within the intelligence community to come forward. "In som= e ways," says Reg Whittaker, a professor and intelligence scholar at Canada's York University, "it's probably the most useful means of getting at the Cold War intelligence-sharing relationship that still continues."=20 While the Central Intelligence Agency--responsible for covert operations and human-gathered intelligence, or HUMINT--is the spy agency most people think of, the NSA is, in many respects, the more powerful and important o= f the U.S. intelligence organizations. Though its most egregious excesses of 20 years ago are believed to have been curbed, in addition to monitoring all foreign communications, it still has the legal authority t= o intercept any communication that begins or ends in the U.S., as well as use American citizens' private communications as fodder for trainee spies. Charged with the gathering of signals intelligence, or SIGINT--which encompasses all electronic communications transmissions--the NSA is larger, better funded, and infinitely more secretive than the CIA. Indeed= , the key document that articulates its international role has never seen the light of day.=20 That document, known as the UKUSA Agreement, forged an alliance in 1948 among five countries--the U.S., Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand--to geographically divvy up SIGINT-gathering responsibilities, with the U.S. as director and main underwriter. Like the NSA--hardly know= n until the Pike and Church congressional investigations of the '70s--the other four countries' SIGINT agencies remain largely unknown and practically free of public oversight. While other member nations conduct their own operations, there has "never been any misunderstanding that we're NSA subsidiaries," according to Mike Frost, an ex-officer in Canada's SIGINT service, the Communications Security Establishment (CSE).= =20 Moreover, all the signatory countries have NSA listening posts within their borders that operate with little or no input from the local agency.= =20 [snip... please see URL for rest of article.] -o- Subscribe: mail majordomo(a)sekurity.org with "subscribe isn".

Announcement: New Twofish Results
by Bruce Schneier 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Results Announcement: N. Ferguson, , "Upper Bounds on Differential Characteristics in Twofish," Twofish Technical Report #1, Counterpane Systems, Aug 1998. Abstract: In our initial paper the Twofish block cipher was introduced, and initial estimates of an upper bounds on the probability of a 12-round differential were given. These results used an imperfect model of Twofish. We present an improved model, and show that any 12-round differential characteristic has a probability of at most $2^{-102.8}$. This paper is available at http://www.counterpane.com/twofish.html, and will be made available at the AES Workshop next week.
