DOS Script Programming Request
by ncra＠ix.netcom.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

To any interested party: I need 3 simple DOS scripts to be writter or translated from a UNIX script to DOS. The scripts need to do the following: 1) Look into a specific directory and execute a .bat file that will sign encrypt the file(s) in the directory using Viacrypt's PGP and wipe out the original. It then needs to move the cyphertext file(s) to a second directory. 2) The second script needs to log on to a netcom account, enter user id and password and upload the cyphertext files in the second directory using Z-modem transpher. The netcom account is already programmed to mail the files to the correct address. It then needs to logout and move the transfered files to a third directory. 3) The 3rd script needs to delete all files in the third directory that are over 15 days old on the 1st and 15th of each month. The first two scripts need to run on a timer and in sequential order on a daily basis. That's it. If you are interested, let me know and I will fill you in on specific details. Also include a proposed charge for the programming. Thanks.

I would use a precompiled version of PGP *if* it came from and was signed by someone I trusted. After all - I don't read all the source code - do you? > And, note, it says sustantial change in value...I don't know if this is taken > to mean monetary, or usability...the later might work. > It's an interesting idea. > Jeremy > I would say that if you can sell something that people would otherwise get for free, then you have added value. So, pre-compile for a couple of architectures, and then slap them on a CD-ROM with source. Definite tangable value from the CD-ROM then.

[snip] All MOSS does is designate the MIME Headers/etc to support Encrypting and/or Signing MIME Parts. It says nothing as to how you do the Encoding or create Signature - only how to package the two parts into a MIME format once you have them. Thus S/MIME is/could-be an implementation of MOSS (as would be a MUA that used the MOSS formats to package a PGP signature or Encrypted Message).

Questions about Conferences
by jhames＠deltanet.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

As a relatively new person to cryptography, I am trying to read and research, as well as follow this list, everything I can about the subject. Because of this interest, I have a few questions for the list. 1) What is Defcon? I am not that far from Las Vegas and am interested in the conference and how I might attend. 2) Similarly, how would I get information on Crypto '95? I have read the papers from previous years and I would be interested in running up to Santa Barbara to check it out. And on a different note, 3) Has anyone heard much about the security of First Security National Bank? (www.fsnb.com) I checked out what they have available already and it seems well put together. I realize they haven't released the "white" paper with specific security (cryptographic) specs on it yet, but has anyone heard anything yet? If it is as secure as it claims, I might consider opening an account with them. Thanks, Joel Hames jhames(a)deltanet.com

In my previous post, I asked about the security of First Security National Bank, which doesn't exist. Enzo is right, I was wondering if anyone had information on the security of Security First National Bank (www.sfnb.com) Thanks Joel Hames jhames(a)deltanet.com

In a separate message is my survey of cryptography laws. I welcome comments and corrections, but mail me before 31 July, as I'm going on a six weeks' holiday next week. I shall try and keep an updated version on my homepage, where it will be available in a few weeks. To make the survey as wide and accurate as possible, I greatly appreciate receiving additional information.

If they fail to answer the court order they could loose the right to operate as a LIC. If they are not a fully licensed carrier, they can have all equipment impounded if they do not honor the court order. Ask anyone who knows telco-law. Let's say you call someone with call-id and do something silly like tell them "I'm going to kill you and your boyfriend, leave my bloody glove at the scene and drive away in my white ford bronco." This scares them. The person calls the cops. The cops call the number on caller id. They track down the service and tell the service- "Give up the call records or get closed down." What do you think the carrier will do? I say this all the time, if you want privacy- Don't use the phone. Here are some things I've heard: (Not responsible for blah blah...) 1) Most caller ID equipment will not display Caller ID from calls made at IDSN phones. 2) Most digital cell-phones have the same quirk. 3) Call-id does not work when calls are made from digital PBXs in Japan. 4) Call-id does not work when calls are made from digital PBXs in most parts of east-block Europe. 5) This happens only in Nynex land and will be fixed by 1997.
