CARDIS Conference Announcement Final Call for Papers and Panels ------------------------------------------------------------- THIRD SMART CARD RESEARCH AND ADVANCED APPLICATION CONFERENCE SEPTEMBER 14-16, 1998 UCL, LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVE, BELGIUM ------------------------------------------------------------ Aims and Goals Smart cards, or IC cards, offer a huge potential for information processing purposes. The portability and processing power of IC cards allow for highly secure conditional access and reliable distributed information systems. There are IC cards available that can perform highly sophisticated cryptographic computations. The applicability of IC cards is currently limited mainly by our imagination; the information processing power that can be gained by using IC cards remains as yet mostly untapped and is not well understood. Here lies a vast uncovered research area which we are only beginning to assess, and which will have a great impact on the eventual success of the technology. The research challenges range from electrical engineering on the hardware side to tailor-made cryptographic applications on the software side, and their synergies. Many currently existing events are mainly devoted to commercial and application aspects of IC cards. In contrast, the CARDIS conferences aim to bring together researchers who are active in all aspects of the design of IC cards and related devices and environments, such as to stimulate synergy between different research communities and to offer a platform for presenting the latest research advances. CARDIS 1994, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), held in November 1994 in Lille, France, successfully brought together representatives from leading IC research centers from all over the world. CARDIS 1996 was the second occasion for the IC card community in this permanent activity. CARDIS 1996 was organized jointly by the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science at Amsterdam (CWI) and the Department of Logic and Computer Science of the University of Amsterdam (UvA).

RE: DNA sequencing info needed
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

It's now a cliche of bio-terrorism bellringers that "this stuff scares me silly," with scientists, pols and first responders now comically repeating the code. A technological artist on Long Island has set up in his studio a collection of the most deadly germs known on earth, in a small glass display, with labels and descriptions of what they are and can do: dosages, kill ratios, distribution methods, sources of specimens and food supplies, URLs for bio-terrorists. He invites art connoisseurs to visit. They walk around the room looking for the show, see little except typical suburban living room furniture, then spy the glass tank, approach, read, freeze, then begin to tremble. Some scream, some faint, some vomit in horror, claw clothing, stampede for the exit. The artist tries to reassure them it's only a carefully constructed simulation. None believe him. They shiver outside in the yard and whimper accusations of terrorism, which, he confesses, is the truth of bio-terrorism, to scare sane people silly.

My knowledge of NSA 'deficient' crypto algorithms
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Wednesday 6/3/98 10:55 AM jensul So as not to misspell J[G]en[n]ifer. You might be interested to look at the University of Southern California home page on the gfsr. My co-author Lewis was one of my former ms and phd students. NSA's crypto algorithms are okay - for hardware implementation - but are classified, in my opinion, to possibly hide embarrassment. Some of us at Sandia offered to help NSA fix its 'deficient' crypto algorithms. For money, of course. It is EASY to make a BLUNDER in crypto. For theoretical or implementation reasons. NSA knows this too. And is pretty cautious about what it does. I partially read another crypto-related article at http://www.news.com/News/Item/0%2C4%2C22705%2C00.html?st.ne.fd.gif.j Best bill Subject: Marc Dacier Date: Wed, 03 Jun 1998 07:34:04 -0600 From: bill payne <billp(a)nmol.com> To: jy(a)jya.com CC: dac(a)zurich.ibm.com, kaj(a)lanl.gov Wednesday 6/3/98 7:25 AM John Young I looked at http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~dac/RAID98 I was in Marc Dacier's (IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Switzerland) office last April in Zurich. Dacier was quizzing me about what the US was concerned about, secuity-wise, inside weapons systems. Spiking, of course. And it was so nice to learn only yesterday that USC has a home page something I thought-up. http://www-hto.usc.edu/software/seqaln/doc/html/gfsr.3.html I SURE UNDERSTOOD the algorithms behind the NSA KG schematics Brian Snow showed me. Let's continue to hope for prompt settlement of the unfortunate matter BEFORE things get WORSE. And we can all get onto better and hopefully less destructive, http://www.aci.net/kalliste/, endeavors.

[E-WRESTLING] New fed that's superior to all others ...
by SMODeLUX＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

b r u t e f o r c e w r e s t l i n g . ............................................................ BFW HANDBOOK Last Revised: 4.22.98 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BFW INTRODUCTION: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Screw organization with those "preppy handbooks," Screw the weenies that take e-Wrestling seriously, and screw the critics. Do you think you're a tough guy? Are you _brutal_? Are you sure? You can't be sure unless you strut your stuff in the paragon of e-Wrestling fun, the BFW (Brute Force Wrestling). We don't really care what all the other fed heads think, and we're going to approach this federation a little differently. No longer will you see the 20k BORING as hell matches, we're going to keep them short, with the occasional overdrive. Now let me ask you, do you REALLY see 55 minute matches on regular broadcasts such as RAW or Nitro? I don't. Maybe on a PPV, but we'll stretch our matches on PPVs a little. Anywhoo, what will this short match process result in? Fewer late cards, I know you all love that. What else will make this fed fun? We'll give magazines instead of updates, updates usually just have the same stuff anyway. In fact, I always skip to the rankings when I read an update. We'll show you a good product with our magazine. In-depth articles, and must-read writing. Do you think you're up for it? If so, fill out this application form, but remember, we can only fit 20 singles wrestler's and 10 tags on our roster. But beware... those who enter shall never leave... for they will be engulfed in fun and excitement, and they'll never even shed the thought of leaving! Thanks, Sean and Chris -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BFW ROLEPLAYING: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BFW is a booked wrestling league, meaning that you roleplay to win matches. We do not use TNM, WLS, or any other simulator. All matches are hand written for the most exciting action anywhere. The only rule for roleplaying is that you must do it often. If you don't roleplay for a month, you're history. We may keep you around as a scrub and job the hell out of you, ruining your reputation. We may also just kick you out of the fed completely. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BFW SPECIFICS: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Headquarters: BFW Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah Cards: House shows (Quick Result Report sent out weekly) Tuesday's televised show, BFW Tuesday Tap-Out Friday's televised show, BFW Friday Fright Night Monthly Pay-Per-View events Titles: BFW World Heavy-Weight Champion BFW World Tag Team Champions BFW Network Champion -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- BFW APPLICATION -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ======================== YOUR INFORMATION: Hey, we can get to know ya. ======================== YOUR NAME - YOUR AGE - (optional) ======================== WRESTLER'S INFORMATION: Duh! ======================== WRESTLER'S NAME - ALLIGNMENT - (heel/face/neutral) WRESTLER'S HEIGHT - (nothing above 7", please) WRESTLER'S WEIGHT - (nothing extraordinary here, either) WRESTLER'S LOOKS - (breif description here. Add in attire) WRESTLER'S HISTORY - (Who, what, where, why, when?) TWENTY MOVES YOUR WRESTLER APPLIES - YOUR WRESTLER'S FINISHING MANEUVER - DESCRIBE IT - (it doesn't have to be TOO complex) YOUR WRESTLER'S MANAGER - (optional) YOUR WRESTLER'S THEME MUSIC - (nothing other than music done by real musicians, no real wrestler music) ======================== TAG TEAM INFORMATION (Optional) ======================== NAME OF TAG TEAM - WHO DOES HE TAG WITH? - TAG TEAM FINISHER - DESCRIBE IT -

anonymous mailboxes
by Sprokkit Amhal 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Some time ago I heard about Lucky Green's then-immature scheme for anonymous email boxes, whereby a user can receive email and even a traffic analysis attacker is unable to glean information about who received what when. I forget exactly what ve called vis method... Is there a paper available anyplace? Has the scheme been validated mathematically? Has it been implemented? ::sprokkit:: ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
