Among other things, JavaScript runs on Win3.1, and Netscape doesn't let you turn it off. I've had at least one event of JavaScript crashing Netscape; the part of the script I noticed was scrolling lots of stuff along the bottom (Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia! Etc. Etc.) but maybe there was more. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com, +1-415-442-2215

Just generate a stream of octets by running DES (or some other block cipher) in the following mode: C_-1 = IV C_n = E_K(C_n-1) i.e., start by encrypting the IV with your key, and thereafter generate a block by encrypting the previous block with your key. Here the IV is essentially part of the key. XOR the resulting bits (or octets) with your plaintext to generate an encrypted stream. Remember within your cipher's state the current output block and how much of it you've used. Note that if you reuse a key, you'll enable attacks that rely on the fact that similar messages will produce similar ciphertext. - Tim Dierks Tim Dierks -- timd(a)consensus.com -- www.consensus.com Head of Thing-u-ma-jig Engineering, Consensus Development

OpenSoft ExpressMail
by Mark Rogaski 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I've been a bit behind with the mail, so I don't know if anyone brought this up yet. We just got a beta copy of OpenSoft ExpressMail. It's a DLL that plugs in as a messaging service for the Win95 desktop Inbox. The sheet that comes with it mentions the following: Compatible with: -- S/MIME -- DCS -- Verisign format Digital ID's -- POP3 -- RFC's 821, 822, 876, 1123, 1153, 1460, 1651, and 1653 Features: -- Talk about "Total encryption key (digital ID) management system -- Full MIME support -- Variable key length (no ceiling mentioned) -- Talk about spiffy address book capabilities (good to get the non-geeks into it) The problem is, I can't seem to get it working. There is no setup app (which I hope they plan to put in the production model ... for their sakes). The Macro$loth Mail system doesn't seem to like the idea of using the DLL. I'm going to see if I have any luck with the Mail server that came with it (I forgot to mention that this is a whole client/server combo). The client is for Win95, the server for Win95/NT. Another added nicety is that there is supposedly a free standalone decoder app. I'm going to see if I can get my hands on it (if it is past vapor yet). I hope I can get this functional, cuz I wanna play, dammit! - -- Mark Rogaski | Why read when you can just sit and | Member System Admin | stare at things? | Programmers Local GTI GlobalNet | Any expressed opinions are my own | # 0xfffe wendigo(a)pobox.com | unless they can get me in trouble. | APL-CPIO -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMXxCoQ0HmAyu61cJAQGoAwP/Wj01PYKKBn8BPgHHqq4jgscpwnkk2kBK xiRzzhcY59N0POPpf6pujxCESfXH7kpa6c5ZGgF/iZKgdaKCLQyfpS08pu+Bw5uO 7RxOI/MTaPrYHmCCrwCJ15ZYLm2mIOGh2MqA6qaJ+km6mK9vrzdxZ/Td+dj/4Hct SYqq2OfdXpo= =8OyV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
