Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought "Snuffle" was some simple-minded cipher designed to test ITAR. I didn't think it was something anyone would choose to incorporate into a serious product. -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ enoch(a)zipcon.com $ via Finger $ {Free Cypherpunk Political Prisoner Jim Bell}

Netscape browser crypto
by Steve Mynott 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I notice Netscape 4 has support for "cryptographical modules" and comes with PKCS#11 module. Are there any third party modules (PGP?) available? Also is it possible to import certificates (PGP?) into the browser so you aren't stuck with Verisign et al. -- Steve Mynott, work: http://webmedia.com/ +44 171 317 1341 ---- strange: http://machine-elves.com/ mobile: 0956 265761 | \_|_\ pegwit v8 public key = \ |_|_| | cbecf90546ea12b28de9e6fdbb956ee8cf83bbcd63726a93643f44a474acdfb9 \|__\|

It's amazing that Freeh would admit that shooting an unarmed woman holding an infant is what "he was trained to do" and was "within the scope of his authority" and that he "reasonably believed [it] was proper" to do so. What are they teaching at FBI school nowadays? Horiuchi's defense is really no different than Timothy McVeigh's: "yes, it was a mistake but he felt it was justified and reasonably believed at the time that what he was doing was proper..." Too bad McVeigh didn't have a badge saying FBI on it.
