ESM under ULTRIX?
by dan＠milliways.org 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I'm having some trouble getting ESM to work under DEC Ultrix. Has anyone gotten this to work? My first problem was that Ultrix doesn't understand one of the constants passed to an ioctl. With the help of a Linux box, I got the value of the constant and plugged it in. Now ESM compiles, says randomizing........, then does a carriage return and just dies. Ctrl-C doesn't work, Ctrl-Z doesn't work. Further I know that it's dying somewhere before the ioctl. Anyone one know how to make this work?

Export/import of chips
by John D. Ervin 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I deal with Importers from Taiwen, Hong kong, Korea, and China on a daily basis. Because the deals I get on components is very good... They are name brand and meet FCC Standards when assembled as systems, but when imported as components they are generally worthless, until assembled How is import or export of Encryption related components monitored ?? Microprocessors can be imported and exported, as can boards.. As Junk.... Nobody Checks these shipments ?? Now if some of those boards did encryption/decryption, and they were paired with a processor, They could do some damage.. But when imported and exported as components (ie Electronic Junk) who is to tell what the end usage is really for ?? This is how a Toyota, Datsun, Subaru, etc are really American built and are American Cars..... ------------------------------------------------- jervin(a)netpath.net -------------------------------------------------

Actually, it turns out that the latest RIPEM has certificate chains, Web of Trust, and really just about everything I want, except perhaps user-friendly GUIs, which could be added easily enough. I haven't yet sorted out which parts are in the export-approved RIPEM-SIG and which parts are only in RIPEM2.1, but it's a pretty straightforward job. (Now to go scrounge some disk space!) The RIPEM code is all public-domain, and uses RSAREF for its crypto, so exporting the non-RSAREF parts is copyright/patent clean, and maybe it can be possible to put together a CJ-able version of the new stuff so it can gain legitimacy after having been exported for months :-) #--- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, Freelance Information Architect, stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # Phone +1-510-247-0664 Pager/Voicemail 1-408-787-1281 #---

SAIC Shows Crime-Fighting Technology
by anonymous＠freezone.remailer 17 Dec '03

URL: http://www.saic.com/corporate/news/news03-17-95.html *** About SAIC *** _________________________________________________________________ SAIC SHOWS CRIME-FIGHTING TECHNOLOGY (SAN DIEGO, CA) March 17, 1995 -- Illegal contraband hidden in trucks, boats and airplanes can be detected with the assistance of state-of-the-art technology developed by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). The portable system is being demonstrated Friday as part of the opening of the federal Border Research and Technology Center at the Otay Mesa port-of-entry. The center, which has been established through the efforts of San Diego U.S. Attorney Alan D. Bersin, will be the focal point for driving the design, development, manufacture and acquisition of specialized law-enforcement technologies. The center is expected to identify specific programs for development that could be used by a variety of law-enforcement agencies. Various technologies for fighting cross-border crime will be demonstrated during a mock Otay border crossing by a driver attempting to evade the law. San Diego-based SAIC's portable contraband detection system scans inaccessible areas such as wheel wells, bumpers, boat hulls and aircraft fuselages. The system uses a micro-processor, a self-contained low-level radioactive sources and a sensitive detector. As surfaces are scanned, concealed objects including weapons, narcotics, alcohol and explosives reflect the radiation, which is sensed by the detector. The system operator is alerted by both a backlit digital display, visible in all light conditions, and an audio beeper that increases in rate as the contraband is detected. The handheld system's total weight is about two pounds. SAIC also will show how vehicles can be "tagged" by radio transponders which can provide positive identification of cars, trucks or trains passing through a specific area. Already in use by several SAIC-equipped automated toll collection systems across the U.S, the transponders or "tags" are issued to specific vehicles. Attached to bumpers or placed on dashboards, the tags are read as the vehicle passes near an antenna installed over or at the side of the roadway. The signal is displayed on a computer screen, and the data is stored and available for further use. The system could be used to speed commuters or other law-abiding vehicles regularly crossing the border. Violators can be caught because the "smart" system senses when a vehicle crosses without a tag, and can trigger alarms, crossing gates or other barriers, as well as recording the violator on video tape. Operators can electronically enhance license plate photos to be read clearly and process enforcement action. "We at SAIC are encouraged by the opening of the Border Research Technology Center today. This Center will provide the opportunity to apply high-technology solutions in support of increased trade as a result of NAFTA as well as support national law enforcement efforts at the border," said Dr. Donald M. Kerr, executive corporate vice president of SAIC. SAIC also provides other vehicle tracking systems that can trace the movements of railroad cars and detect motorists who evade barriers such as railroad grade crossings. The high-technology company also has developed methods of tracing small motorized boats, submersibles and even swimmers crossing strategic waterways, as well as other imaging applications. SAIC provides services and products to government and the private sector in the areas of law enforcement, transportation, energy, environment, health care and systems integration. With annual revenues of $1.9 billion, the company and its subsidiaries have nearly 20,000 employees and more than 300 locations worldwide. _________________________________________________________________ Copyright SAIC Home _________________________________________________________________ Last updated on 07-05-95
