SSL Insecurity
by Rick Osborne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A while back, someone posted an article on the insecurity of Netscape's implementation of SSL. Can someone send me back that article, or a few pointers as to where I can find related information? Thanks, Rick Rick Osborne / osborne(a)gateway.grumman.com / Northrop Grumman Corporation ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Get that finger out of your ear!

PGP 2.6.3i

Thanks, I have been meaning to ask someone about that. It is billed as the International Version. I see it all over the place, except MIT. Is there anyway this could be a weakened version? How can this be checked? And if it isn't released by Phil or MIT how can it be called PGP? Aaron.

NEW RELEASE: Universal Data Cryptography Module V2.0
by DataETRsch＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello, Greetings! I am Jeremy K. Yu-Ramos, president of DataET Research, Data Engineering Technologies. I am sending you this message to let you know that DataET Research has recently initiated the distribution of UDCM, Universal Data Cryptography Module. UDCM implements a revolutionarily new, extremely advanced and sophisticated, digital data encryption algorithm named IMDMP, Integrated Mathematical Data Manipulation and Positioning. Extensive research shows that IMDMP is more advanced than DES, RSA, IDEA, and PGP. UDCM (the IMDMP algorithm)... o Is a royalty-free Windows DLL module featuring advanced cryptography. o Contains more than 140 procedures and functions. o Is a very cost-effective size of only 57 kilobytes. o Implements the IMDMP encryption algorithm. o Is more advanced than all of the industry standard encryption algorithms. o Allows encryption keys as large as 256 bytes (2048 bits). o Includes 18 sub-algorithms. o Processes all forms of binary and ASCII files. o Allows multiple encryption layer levels. o Has absolutely no back-doors or magical keys. o Does not store encryption keys in files. o Processes files as large as 2,147,483,390 bytes. o Has a 100% data preservation rating. o Includes Y2K compliant time and date locking features. o Has NCSC compliant data cleaning and wiping capabilities. o Includes file specific unique encryption features. o Includes file authentication guard features. o Includes unique encryption signaturing features. o Includes data importance and sensitivity stamping features. UDCM can be accessed through programs developed with popular application and database programming languages and environments such as: C, C++, Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi, OOP Pascal, Turbo Pascal, SmallTalk, dBase, Paradox, Access, Sybase, Oracle, etc. DataET Research has released a shareware version of UDCM named UDCM V2.0. To download UDCM V2.0 for free, please go to: http://members.aol.com/dataetrsch/udcm.html. I hope you will consider applying UDCM in the software you develop. Thank-you very much for your time. Sincerely, Jeremy K.Yu-Ramos President DataET Research Data Engineering Technologies

IW-D Report
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We've digtized the 200-page "Information Warfare- Defense" report by the Defense Science Board. http://jya.com/iwd.htm It's quite informative about large-scale planning for coping with the threats of information age -- encryption among many other political, economic, technical and legal issues. There is overlap with the NRC cryptography report on prospects for technological fixes to security, but this report envisions a much more comprehensive plan. (William Ware served on both panels; Stewart Baker on the IW-D.) Comparison to threat models of the Center for Disease Control, FEMA and the National Drug Intelligence Center is provocative (Appendix D). Well worth reading for a preview of the next century's opportunities for wealth, power and infamy. ----- REPORT OF THE DEFENSE SCIENCE BOARD TASK FORCE ON INFORMATION WARFARE - DEFENSE (IW-D) November 1996 TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 INTRODUCTION 2.0 ENVIRONMENT 2.1 Growing Dependency, Growing Risk 2.2 Information Warfare 2.3 The Infrastructure 2.4 Threat 3.0 OBSERVATIONS 4.0 WHAT SHOULD WE DEFEND? 5.0 HOW SHOULD WE DEFEND? 5.1 Procedures, Processes and Mechanisms 5.2 Strategy 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Designate an Accountable IW Focal Point 6.2 Organize for IW-D 6.2.1 Establish a Center for Intelligence Indications and Warning, Current Intelligence, and Threat Assessments 6.2.2 Establish a Center for IW-D Operations 6.2.3 Establish a Center for IW-D Planning and Coordination 6.2.4 Establish a Joint Office for System, Network and Infrastructure Design 6.2.5 Establish a Red Team for Independent Assessments 6.3 Increase Awareness 6.4 Assess Infrastructure Dependencies and Vulnerabilities 6.5 Define Threat Conditions and Responses 6.6 Assess IW-D Readiness 6.7 "Raise the Bar" with High Pay-Off, Low-Cost Items 6.8 Establish and Maintain a Minimum Essential Information Infrastructure 6.9 Focus the R&D 6.10 Staff for Success 6.11 Resolve the Legal Issues 6.12 Participate Fully in Critical Infrastructure Protection 6.13 Provide the Resources 7.0 SUMMARY APPENDIX A: Threat Assessment APPENDIX B: National Intelligence Exploitation Architecture APPENDIX C: A Taxonomy for Information Warfare?

Is this true?

My information tells me you are someone looking for an opportunity to make extra money. What if you could market with the best bulk email product available and at the same time make $100 every time you refer someone else to buy it? This bulk email program can personally address your letters which alone can greatly increase your response rate. It also can download addresses from 18 different sources. Users of Floodgate and Pegasus are rushing to get their hands on this product. It's so easy to use that I found myself stripping addresses and doing my first mailings within hours after registering it. As Entrepreneurs we understand the key to success is recognizing where the market is. The Internet is full of people promoting products and services. Now you can offer them the tool they need the most. For more information email me at cybergy(a)mindspring.com If you would like to be removed from any future mailings simply send email to remove(a)opportunity1.com. Thank you, Walter Cantrell
