3DES Weakness
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

NYT-Markoff reports today on Biham and Knudsen's paper on 3DES weakness, "Cryptanalysis of the ANSI X9.52 CBCM Mode," noted here a few days ago. The ANSI X9.F1 committee has held up implementing its standard as a result, and may have to wait for AES. Credit is given to the worldwide DES crack. http://www.nytimes.com See a mirror: http://jya.com/3des-weak.htm Get the Biham/Knudsen paper: http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/%7Ebiham/publications.html

T 1563 and pals
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Tuesday 3/31/98 7:39 AM John Gilmore John Young J Orlin Grabbe Reading the stuff on the pals at http://www.jya.com/pal-nukes.htm http://www.research.att.com/~smb/nsam-160/pal.html jogged my memory. After we completed the Forth implementation of the Missile Secure Cryptographic Unit at least Hal Pruett, Duane DeWerff, myself, and perhaps several others were invited to NSA at Fort Meade in about 1985-6. NSA employee Bill Legato assailed me for using Forth for the implementation of the MSCU. Legato hated Forth and relayed his hate to Sandia management. This is one reason I was replaced as project leader by Tom Evans who was later replaced by Eric Disch. Possibly surprising, however, is that NSA sent Forth expert Don Simard to visit Sandia for several years. Kent Parsons commented to me that he thought Simard was an NSA spy sent to see what we were up to at Sandia. Simard, along with Bill Goldrick, were the two reviewers of my SAND report now seen at http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm EE Times, March 30, 1998 page 8 A Java chip being to ship in quantity SAN FRANCISCO - Patriot Scientific Corp. surged to the head of the silicon pack at the JavaOne conference last week, showing the PSC1000 RISC processor, which is shipping in quantity. Well be selling the chip for under $10 in volume and aiming at deeply embedded, low-power applications such as handheld devices and factory-floor control systems, said Phil Morettini, vice president of Patriot (San Diego). Competing offering from LG Semicon and NEC Corp., each based on Sun Microsystems Inc.s picoJava core, are not yet available, although select customers are said to have samples. Separately, Rockwell Collins Inc. (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) said that it has decided not to sell its Java-specific CPU on the merchant market. The company unveiled the innovative processor last fall. Here is their web site. http://www.ptsc.com/ Charles Moore, inventor of Forth, is author of the Shboom Java native code compiler for the PCS100. Rockwell built a Forth-like chip many years ago. I met Randy Dumse, who then worked for Rockwell, at a trade show. I got a copy of the Rockwell R65F11 chip manual from Dumse. Dumse quit Rockwell to start NewMicros seen at http://www.newmicros.com/ Click on history to see http://www.newmicros.com/history.html Of course, the Harris RTX 2000 chip used by NASA is a descendant of Charles Moores Novix Forth chip. http://groucho.gsfc.nasa.gov/forth/ Ballard, I was told by Jeff Allsup of Wood Hole, used polyForth to discover the wrecks of the Titanic and Bismarck. A central debate is whether a high-level language should be used for a weapons programmer. The implementer must be able to account for each bit. In Forth I can. Possibility exists that an disgruntled implementer might 'spike' a weapon so that it went off at an unintended time. Sandia supervisor Don Schroeder was an OUTSPOKEN critic of the T 1563 nuclear bomb controller. SCHROEDER,DONALD H. (505)845-8409 DHSCHRO (505)844-9478 0519 DHSCHRO(a)sandia.gov The T 1563 did not work very well. One reason is that it was written in about 112,000 lines of assembler. NSA was reluctant to approve use of an operating system or even a high-level language for crypto implementation for the reasons that security could not be guaranteed. Sandia did not have the resources required to write its own secure operating system and high-level language. This is why we used the Forth operating system and high-level language. Schroeder division employee Mike Sharp SHARP,MICHAEL W. (505)845-8444 MWSHARP (505)284-3850 1138 MWSHARP(a)sandia.gov wrote a T 1563 implementation in, I think C or Pascal. Henry Newgass modified the transient part of command.com so that on power-up a PC directly entered Sharps program. Jerry Allen, who also saw the merits of using an operating system and high-level language, funded Neugass. ALLEN,DOUGLAS J. (505)845-9624 DJALLEN (505)844-7593 1201 DJALLEN(a)sandia.gov I wrote the purchase order. I learned several months ago that Sandia built a PC version of the T 1563 called the T 1663, I was told, which was supplied to the Air Force. The threaded code - compiled native code battle continues. I am sort-of happy to be back [somewhat] doing MASM code - along with a bit of Forth and Forth assembler on the 80c32. I see that J Orlin Grabbe is linking Permissive Action Links at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ I read Both strong links must be closed electrically -- one by specific operator-coded input and one by environmental input corresponding to an appropriate flight trajectory -- in order for the weapon to be armed. George Dullek and Jon Bryan worked together on accellerometers for flight trajectory sensing. Dullek and Bryan are Forth programmers. DULLECK JR.,GEORGE R. (505)844-2628 GRDULLE (505)844-8480 1073 GRDULLE(a)sandia.gov BRYAN,JON R. (505)844-2015 JRBRYAN (505)844-6161 1003 JRBRYAN(a)sandia.gov Sandia had a division devoted to crystal oscillators. The oscillators for the micro occasionally fail to start - a bad scene if this happens when trying to arm a nuke. Dick Adams, also in department 2300, was in charge of oscillators. Adams never seemed to many of us too interested in his job. Adams took an early voluntary separation package from Sandia with a large educational retraining incentive. And went to cooking school in San Francisco, Bob Wayland told me. The real world again. Thanks to good research, some whistleblowing, and Internet details of fuzing the US nuclear arsenal are being revealed. Lets ALL hope for SETTLEMENT of this unfortunate mess before it gets WORSE. I want my money and I am out of this mess. Later bill

Political Test
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

THE SACREDBULL BASIC ENGLISH AND MATH TEST FOR FEDERAL POLITICIANS SECTION I: Competency in English 1. The phrase, "Congress shall make no law..." means a. Congress shall make no law... b. Congress shall make some laws... c. Americans can do anything they want, except things my colleagues and I, or our largest contributors, personally dislike. d. Congress can do anything it damn well pleases, starting with stacking the courts with our toadies. 2. What is the correct interpretation of the phrase "...the right of the people...shall not be infringed"? a. The right of the people...shall not be infringed. b. The right of the people...shall be infringed, but only gradually, moderately and for the good of children and battered women (except the ones we batter). c. The right of the people is actually a state's right and the states are a bunch of wusses who'll put up with anything as long as we offer them enough tax-funded loot in return for selling out their citizens. d. The people are all sitting on their butts watching TV, so we can infringe any damn thing we feel like infringing, and we'll get the media to screw you if you think otherwise. 3. What is the meaning of the phrase, "The powers ... are reserved to the states, or to the people..." a. The powers...are reserved to the states, or to the people... b. The interstate commerce clause gives us the authority to do anything. Therefore there are no other powers left to reserve for those other twits. Too bad for them. c. Where'd you get a stupid idea like that? We're more powerful and have bigger guns than they do, and that's all that really matters, isn't it? d. Hahahahahahahahahaha! 4. Essay Question: Write a bill (a proposed law, you twit) in plain English, for once. We just want to see if you can do it. Extra credit if it's constitutional or can be read and understood in less than ten minutes by a high school student of average intelligence. SECTION II: Competency in Mathematics 1. A fugitive oil baron named Roger gives $300,000 to the Democratic National Committee for the specific purpose of gaining "access" to the president. For that, he is given six invitations to the White House, but does not get the pipeline he wanted. How much money should Roger give to the DNC next time? a. Nothing. People shouldn't be able to bribe their way into the presence of public officials. b. This is a trick question. Next time, a Republican president might be in office, and Roger should give his money to the RNC, instead. c. I know the president. If Roger gives me the money, I'll give Roger access. Heck, I'll even throw in some hot babes, since Roger said the babes at the White House were too busy stroking Clinton to pay any attention to him. d. $600,000. (Roger's answer, in testimony before Congress 9/18/97.) 2. According to the administration's own projections, Americans will soon face an 82 percent income tax rate if present entitlement programs and levels of federal growth persist. How many years before American citizens rise up in rebellion? a. Americans should never be driven to that kind of desperation. We should immediately begin rolling the federal government back to constitutional levels. b. Don't worry, we're going to reform the tax system and, as Rep. Mitch McConnell says, "virtually abolish the IRS as we know it"; we'll just have an 82 percent national sales tax, instead. c. As soon as my term in office is over and I can get an oceanside place in Costa Rica, complete with Uzi-toting bodyguards. d. What do we care? We'll just let Janet burn the little jerks and claim they committed suicide. 3. The federal budget is...oh...some great big figure in the gazillions. The national debt is probably about five trillion dollars, give or take. The annual deficit is, you know, billions and billions and billions (not counting off-budget stuff like Amtrak and the Post Office). Budgets for Social Security and Medicare are increasing at some really wowie-zow of a percent every year. (Not like you care what the actual figures are, anyway.) Congress and the president have just cooked up a tax cut package filled with goodies for favored special interests. Please explain how you can claim the budget will be balanced by 2002. a. We can't do it without extreme cutbacks in government. Anybody who says we can is lying like a congressman. b. Revenues will...uh...yeah...revenues will increase because of all those tax breaks and...uh...the economy will be just perfect forever and ever and...uh...maybe some plague or something will come along and kill off all those money-sucking old folks...or something like that, maybe. c. The media said it's true, didn't they? What more proof do you want? d. Hey, that's for the suckers who are here in 2002 to figure out. I'll be in Costa Rica by then. e. Well, actually, now that I think about it, I'll be in some other country with an army so they can fight off the U.S. troops who will be sent to take my loot like they did Noriega's. Like, hey, I stole mine fair and square! Correct answers: B, C, D and E (From the politicians' point of view, that is. Hey, you know, whatever we can get away with while the folks are watching TV...) Correct answer, in reality: L-E-A-D T-H-E-R-A-P-Y ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ----- (c) 1997 Charles Curley and Claire Wolfe.

CNN - DeathMonger
by TruthMonger 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

SITE SOURCES Contents Help! Search CNN Networks Two Saskatchewan Freemen Assassinated One of the Freemen holds a drink during the 81-second standoff on April 1, 1998 Assassination stemmed from Microsoft standoff? Bienfait, SASK (AP) TruthMonger I and TruthMonger II were assassinated in an 81-second standoff with an unidentified team of freelance assassins who accomplished their goal without firing a single shot. A few short minutes after the CoalDust Saloon opened for business, a limousine bearing Redmond, Washington, license plates pulled up outside the bar, and a half-dozen black-clad, heavily armed figures raced into the building, behind the cover of smoke and tear-gas grenades. They were met by a heavy fusillade of gunfire from a variety of surprised morning drunks who were onery as snot, not yet having finished their first beer of the morning. The assassins rushed into the bar and established strategic positions, only to find that the two TruthMonger entities who were the target of the raid already lay dead on the floor. They quickly rushed out of the CoalDust Saloon and piled into the limousine, which headed for the American border. The day-shift barmaid who investigated the scene--in the absence of local RCMP, who were busy on the reservation legally murdering WagonBurnersnoted that TruthMonger I and TruthMonger II had both been shot in the head from behind. Blanc Weber, a member of the Circle of Eunuchs who claimed to have been just passing through Bienfait, at the time, and who was reported to be standing behind the TwoMongers when the shooting began, theorized that the fatal shots came from the grassy knoll behind the bar. When confronted by an angry crowd of drunken losers who pointed out that Webers anger over the TruthMonger Cult of One Clan including references to her in their Death Threat!!!(s) against an unnamed billionaire from Redmond, Washington, she bought a round of drinks for the house, and the matter was quickly dropped. Jeff Sandquist, a Microsoft employee who had earned his bones by cleaning up the mess that Circle of Eunuchs founder, C.J. Parker had made of the computer systems at the offices of a local mobile home manufacturer, verified Blanc Webers claims about the shots coming from the grassy knoll, noting that three bums (Mark Hedges, Robert Canizales, and a shadowy figure known only as Sameer) had been picked up shortly after the incident by Estevan City Police, and taken for a free breakfast at the Husky Truckstop. Sandquist and Weber were picked up and spirited away by a strange figure who refused to reveal his identity, but noted that it was imperative for the group to leave quickly, because at night, the ice weasels come. TruthMongerI.jpg TruthMongerII.jpg Local members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Gestapo later indicated that their investigation into the matter revealed that local law enforcement personnel in Redmond, Washington, could not find any suspects in their files matching the description of a billionaire in a limousine. A follow up inquiry by CNN reporters proved to be unsuccessful, as all of the officers involved on both sides of the border had retired by the end of the day. At a wake held for the TwoMongers after a truckload of Olympia beer unexpectedly arrived at the bar, the massive crowd that suddenly appeared out of nowhere reminisced about their fallen drinking buddies. It was probably an act of mercy, since they had been suffering greatly since installing Win95 on their systems. ~Anonymous Ever since TM-Is cousin died of a mysterious heart-attack after being put in a cage with the female guerillas, we knew it was only a matter of time before Blanc Weber saw the light and decided to become a Claire Wolfe in Sheeple's clothing. ~Nobody I *love* this bar ~A visitor from Boston © 1998 Cable News Network, Inc.
