NETA & exporting PGP

March 20, 1998 Export Law Tested by Sale of Privacy Software SAN FRANCISCO -- An American maker of data-scrambling software said Thursday that it would circumvent U.S. export policies by allowing its Dutch subsidiary to begin selling an international version of Pretty Good Privacy, a strong encryption program that does not provide a back door for law enforcement surveillance. Because the company, Network Associates, is the nation's largest independent maker of computer security software, its action could have a serious effect on U.S. export policies on software. Network Associates' decision to sell a program specifically prohibited by the Commerce Department comes at a time when the Clinton administration is already fighting congressional attempts to end export controls on encryption software for fear that such restrictions will hurt the ability of American industry to compete internationally.

Crypto is not a destructive weapon - it may blind the opponent, perhaps even sometimes at critical times when that can induce him to behave dangerously - but I fail to see how a cipher in and of itself is a weapon of destruction, let alone mass destruction. I see crypto as an entirely defensive weapon with no potential to destroy anything (except perhaps data when the key gets lost or forgotten). Of course you may be refering to other things one can put together with a wirewrap tool - which isn't really the tool one would want to assemble HERF or HPM destructive weapons with in any case since wirewrap wire can barely handle an amp or so max... > > Patience, persistence, truth, > Dr. mike > -- Dave Emery N1PRE, die(a)die.com DIE Consulting, Weston, Mass.

Imagine in the new realm of white collar crime, individuals are only convicted because of evidence. Evidence that can't be decrypted cannot be used. I see that going back to defense, but on the wrong side.

Stan, whose mind is held hostage by the heathens at A(h)OL, has not yet been visited by the revemissionlutionaries of the Army of Dog, and thus does not realize that the ClueServer died for his sins. Thus, his body and soul are destined to boil in a big black pot forged from the melted remains of his own kettles, and fired by the burning ears of those he has maligned behind their backs, as are all those who spread FUD out of cluelessness, instead of out of a genuine desire to be a rabble-rousing shit-disturber.

Re: UPSs
by rdew＠el.nec.com 17 Dec '03

All, I cannot remember all of the equations that go into this, and only a very simplistic approach follows, but ... If your surge protector is a semi-conductor, it probably will be self-limiting. That is, it will reach a maximum block, and pass whatever is above that. A Trans-sorb device, and those chemical ones, all limit what they do based upon a total absorption. A lot of little ones kills it the same as a single big one. None of these tell you they are no longer operable. However, if the UPS is properly built, it will have an inductor as the leading serial device in a set of 'things'. I would expect a set of capacitors, in parallel with my load, on either side, appropriately sized. The battery that makes the 'U' in the UPS acts like another capacitor. These act as fast as the spike, ALWAYS. The sizes and number of components requires some calculations (testing does NOT hurt, either). Stan needs to review his basic electronics. Yes, it will even protect against lighting if designed for that purpose. Costs vary accordingly ...
