Since when is a newspaper photo a >government picture I.D.? No, they don't, though the airlines like you to think that since it simplifies their life and it's something they can tell $5/hour bag checkers as well as higher-paid gate agents. There is no national rule that applies to everybody requiring it; each airline apparently has to negotiate with the FAA to make sure they're doing a "reasonable" job of identifying their passengers. The airline is free to make whatever rules they want. On United, I normally use my employee ID and the credit card I use to buy the electronic-ticket, which verifies reasonably well that I'm the person the ticket was bought for (by the people who told the airline they're my employer's travel agents.) If the _government_ required _you_ to have government ID, there'd be serious Constitutional problems with it; regulating interstate commerce and air traffic safety by forcing the airlines to do something they'd kind of like to do anyway doesn't have the same problems, even though it's almost _more_ offensive to a free society. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.

ftp sites for Applied Cryptography 2E.
by nobody＠huge.cajones.com 17 Dec '03

All the ftp sites I've found with the source code from Applied Cryptography had the source code from the first edition. I assume there are changes and additions to the source code in the second edition. Are there any ftp sites with the the newer code?

Repeal the 9th Amendment? (fwd)
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, Forwarded message: > Date: Sat, 18 Jan 1997 08:53:59 -0500 > From: John Young <jya(a)pipeline.com> > Subject: Repeal the 9th Amendment? > > Your Jan. 9 article on the "assisted suicide" issue argued before > the U.S. Supreme Court does not mention the Ninth Amendment once > ("High court wrestles with assisted suicide"). I was not surprised. > Democrats and Republicans consistently ignore the Ninth (and > appoint judges who likewise ignore it). > > The Ninth Amendment states: "The enumeration in the Constitution > of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage > others retained by the people." By ignoring this plain wording, > the judiciary displays a reluctance to "create new constitutional > rights," an admirable sentiment. Considering that no one seems to > take it seriously, perhaps we should consider repealing the > "forgotten" Ninth Amendment. Don't forget the 10th, without the 10th the 9th isn't worth the ink it is written on. The two Amendments are meant to work hand in hand. Any party which mentions one without the other is either attempting an end run or else does not really understand what is being stated in them. Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

One time pads and randomness?
by AaronH4321＠aol.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Question: I want to use a one time pad pased crypto system. I understand that the randomness of the pad genorator is key to security(other than lossing the keys). What I want to know is if I use a psuedo-RNG that maybe repeats its self every 1000 characters and use it to only encrypt messagase that are 100's of charaters long, will this be a major security risk? Next question: Say I create a 1 million character one time pad that passes all of the randomness tests. It is "truely random". I place it on two computers. Now when these two computers want to send email computer "A" grabs a chunk of the one time pad starting at a random point and encrypts it. It labels the email with the random starting point and sends it to "B". There "B" moves to the random point and begins decryption. During to process both computers mark that section of the OTP used so that they don't retransmit with it. I realize this has a limited amount of messages before it is used up. But would this be secure? Any suggestions, complaints, big gapping holes I missed? Aaron....
