For those interested in reading up on the IPSEC work, check out ds.internic.net's "internet-drafts" directory. The following are the drafts that you will want to look at. draft-ietf-ipsec-ah-md5-03.txt draft-ietf-ipsec-arch-02.txt draft-ietf-ipsec-auth-02.txt draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-01.txt draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-des-cbc-04.txt draft-ietf-ipsec-photuris-02.txt I believe that the -ah-xx.txt draft is missing.

This activity could be completely asynchronous to any origination of messages, and, in fact, a regular habit of accumulating tokens like this would make for excellent cover traffic.

User X on Machine A sends a form via HTTP (or a variant- SHTTP, HTTPS, etc.) to Machine B. User Y on Machine C receives an anonymous mail from Machine B. Suspecting User X, User Y sends a mail to be anonymized and sent back to himself to User X. User X's temporary remailer does as it's told. User Y now has a strong reason to suspect User X has sent the said mail. Cpunks write code and all, but I don't think this one's going to work. :-(

Re: Exporting from Canada (was Re: Let's try breaking an SSL RC4 key)
by M. Plumb 17 Dec '03

Sorry for taking so long to respond to this. I have been checking out the Canadian rules for exporting crypto. Basically (according to "A Guide to Canada's Export Controls", published by the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade) public domain software can be exported from Canada -- one might need to file a form with Canadian Customs for each export, but the export it self is legal. (Public domain is defined as technology that has been made available without restrictions upon it's further dissemination. Copyright restrictions do not remove technology from the public domain. So, I'm not quite sure if PGP falls within that definition.) However, goods of U.S. origin are export restricted, unless said goods are further processed outside the U.S. so as to result in a substantial change in value, so some of the PGP development would need to be done in Canada. -- -marc

Utopia, Ltd -- the South Sea Paradise that organized itself as a joint stock company -- was originally governed by an absolute despot whose despotism was kept in check by the existence of a Public Exploder. The Public Exploder's job was to blow the King up if he began to oppress the people. The exercise of his office was kept in check because if he blew up the King, he had to replace him. http://diamond.idbsu.edu/GaS/utopia/ DCF "Calynx: Yes. After many unhappy experiments in the direction of an ideal Republic, it was found that what may be described as a Despotism tempered by Dynamite provides, on the whole, the most satisfactory description of ruler--an autocrat who dares not abuse his autocratic power."
