Alex Kelly Strikes Again
by Duncan Frissell 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Alex Kelly, our favorite Greenwich Connecticut high school jock, accused rapist, ex-fugitive who returned to the US to face trial after 8 years on the run in Europe has done it again. He filed the paperwork to gain recognition of Irish citizenship from the Irish Consulate and his claim has been recognized. He is now free to apply for an Irish Passport. The DA is trying to yank his $1,000,000 bail. The wire services incorrectly report that he has been "granted" Irish citizenship. Actually, like anyone who has at least one grandparent born in Ireland, he *is* an Irish citizen under that nation's permissive nationality law and merely had to register his (overseas) birth with the Consulate.

Our father is a math teacher, computer hobbyists since 1979. Both of my parents have college educations. My sister pegged the scales on the state distributed proficiency tests. Yet she knows practically nothing outside of her field.

(Fwd) Black Liberation Radio

------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 12:36:31 -0700 From: "Clover Hale" <clover(a)iaj.xo.com> Subject: Black Liberation Radio To: iaj-futuremedia(a)igc.org BLACK LIBERATION RADIO BUSTED! This morning, the FCC raided Black Liberation Radio in Decatur, Illinois and seized all the equipment. BLR, an unlicensed radio station operated by Napolean and Mildred Williams, has been a growing thorn in the side of the local power structure. BLR has brought together the predominantly white workers who have undergone bitter strikes in the 90s (Caterpillar, etc.) with unemployed blacks and whites. It has given them all a voice, not just locally but to a degree nationally (Napolean was the keynote speaker at the recent Micro Broadcasters Convention in Oakland). This pioneering station must go back on the air. Napoleon requests donations to help them fight this. Please send what you can to: Napoleon Williams, 637 E Center St., Decatur IL 63526. In the face of a growing police state, Napoleon and Mildred are fighting back. They need your help. *PLEASE* call to issue protests: State Attorney General Jim Ryan 217-782-1090 Macon County States Attorney Lawrence "Larry" Fichter 217-424-1400 101 South Main, Decatur,Il 62523. ------------ Makani Themba mthemba(a)igc.apc.org 3780 Webster Street, Oakland, CA 94609 (510) 655-3112 (voice) (510) 658-5122 (fax) "Whoever controls the flow of information dictates our perceptions and perspectives; whoever controls the news shapes our destiny." - George Clinton Stop the execution of Mumia Abu Jamal! =-=-=-=-=-=- Ross Wright King Media: Bulk Sales of Software Media and Duplication Services http://www.slip.net/~cdr/kingmedia Voice: 415-206-9906

DES Key Recovery Project, Progress Report #6.
by Peter Trei 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

DES Key Recovery Project, Progress Report #6. Well, RSA now has put up the official rules, and some test data, for the DES Key Recovery Project. See http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/97challenge/ if you haven't already. The actual challenge will be posted 28 Jan, and the prize will be $10,000. I've had some nibbles of interest from the FPGA community, but not too much yet. If you know anyone with FPGA or ASIC hardware handy, tell them about the project, and point them at Wiener's paper (it can be found at http://www.aist-nara.ac.jp/Security/doc/ among locations. My software is complete, except for one thing: I have not incorporated Svend Olaf Mikkelsen's new Pentium code (see http://inet.uni-c.dk/~svolaf/des.htm) This is about 25% faster than mine, and well worth the extra effort. The conversion turns out to be non-trivial; it uses a different initial and final perm, the key schedules look different, and the rounds seem to carry a lot of context from one round to the next in the registers. All but the final problem is not too important - the data are all different by simple permutations, and the conversion is not too hard. The final problem is more interesting, since I do the first DES round only part of the time. This means that I'll have to do more context setup for those times when I'm starting at the second round (most of the time), and preserve that extra context after the times I *do* run the first round. The other problem is that the 'half-matches' and penultimate round half-matches will be different for the two systems. This complicates results checking. Anyway, come Monday, I want to email to a few people the generic 'C' code, along with my assembler version. If you're interested in doing a serious critique and/or porting of the code, and are a US/Canadian citizen living in the US/Canada, then email me with a statement to that effect. I'm only sending out a few copies - this is a slow beta, after all. If I don't get the Mikkelsen code in there by Monday, it should follow soon thereafter. After the DES Challenge is underway, I may try looking at the RC5 Challenges. Who else will be attending Verisign Partner Days or the RSA Data Security Conference at the end of the month? I'd like to meet some of the other participants on this list. Peter Trei trei(a)process.com

You don't have any means to revoke the key yourself, >don't even have e-mail in general, and with the "one phone call", [.... method deleted .... lawyer, alice, bob, ... ] Too complex for what you're really doing. Give your lawyer a floppy with the key revocation certificate and a yellow sticky about how to call Alice or Bob for help if your lawyer's not computer-literate enough to follow the README file. If you're paranoid about the cops getting your unindicted co-conspirators' names, use PGP Inc. or some computer consultant instead of Alice and Bob and have your lawyer pay their per-hour rate. On your One Phone Call, tell him to get the floppy out of the sealed envelope in his safe and use it. Key revocation certificates don't leak your private keys, so the only risk if the Bad Guys get a copy is denial of service, including the pain of rebuilding all your connections, etc.; it doesn't leak your communications or allow them to forge mail. # 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.
