We'll continue to keep at the very least one month back, even once we start archiving and expiring -- and the archives will be available by ftp. So people need only keep pointers to Message-IDs within the archives. I'll almost certainly hack something together that will retrieve articles on the Web in my copious spare time. For now all the articles are available both via nntp for newsreaders and ftp via ftp://ftp.hks.net/cypherpunks/nntp/cypherpunks/ (it's big). - -- Todd Masco | It's difficult to be loud about keeping your enumerated cactus(a)hks.net | rights when you're busy exercising your unenumerated ones. cactus(a)bb.com | http://www.hks.net/~cactus/cactus.html - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.

Encrypted Credit Card Numbers For Transmission....
by werewolf＠io.org 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I thought about this recently when I bought a subscription to Wired for X-Mas for a friend. Why don't organizations like Wired (who are ostensibly closely connected to the 'net) not have public keys (ie through Viacrypt, as they are a commercial enterprise) that subscription purchasers could encrypt a credit card number to them, and then e-mail that cyphertext file to them for processing. The company could then snail mail to the purchaser confirmation of the cc purchase just like what happens for a credit card phone purchase. It seems straightforward or am I missing something? I mean, PGP is extremely widespread, and other organizations encrypt data for transmission between points with DES, so use of encryption is hardly a novel concept for business to swallow (particularly a magazine like Wired, who likely have a reasonably encryption knowledgeable readership or potential readership). Routine use of encryption at this simple level would likely get the ball rolling in the direction of other endeavors, like e-cash, or at worst become another convenience for the customer and allow encryption and the 'net to gain wider acceptance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQEVAwUBLu6Cl3BFBj7pSNyhAQGzRQf/WjlkdJaLfTpc8cdDF6EV6IoGN0P0i6l1 dXPMoqRwNn3Aol04pBRQn3+KrK5GaII9ZopRWtEysCzIdv4nbA2t6qLZBZ8oXUgg 3o5Bdp+RIcgXNPtoRmZH5yDGw8kOQqgBH3glWsL25v2BOd87ic10HbhjSZn9FfWD s0qNKFblbqOb6Ur/XZklfjEpPJbE8rvVawt6RQqDO1ky5rKxrgDeGeQVfnu8m7ti fFo9lqTGpBKW9vk8JnTpF5gJvgTcj/iPxNzzeRw6UBD/nIDV2Ttg/lJni5yhGOxe 5LLINeaGVDvtioGbcehz0veXFZ5t7pNJgRxbIIG0AgA+plP0RQdp8A== =iUO3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Re: Using HotWIRED without provoking junk mail

A while back someone established a HotWIRED account in the name "cypherpunks" with password "cypherpunks" to get around this. I make a point of mentioning that whenever I point someone to HotWIRED.
