17 Dec '03

Hello, Greetings! I am Jeremy K. Yu-Ramos, president of DataET Research, Data Engineering Technologies. I am sending you this message to let you know that DataET Research has recently initiated the distribution of UDCM, Universal Data Cryptography Module. UDCM implements a revolutionarily new, extremely advanced and sophisticated, digital data encryption algorithm named IMDMP, Integrated Mathematical Data Manipulation and Positioning. Extensive research shows that IMDMP is more advanced than DES, RSA, IDEA, and PGP. UDCM (the IMDMP algorithm)... o Is a royalty-free Windows DLL module featuring advanced cryptography. o Contains more than 140 procedures and functions. o Is a very cost-effective size of only 57 kilobytes. o Implements the IMDMP encryption algorithm. o Is more advanced than all of the industry standard encryption algorithms. o Allows encryption keys as large as 256 bytes (2048 bits). o Includes 18 sub-algorithms. o Processes all forms of binary and ASCII files. o Allows multiple encryption layer levels. o Has absolutely no back-doors or magical keys. o Does not store encryption keys in files. o Processes files as large as 2,147,483,390 bytes. o Has a 100% data preservation rating. o Includes Y2K compliant time and date locking features. o Has NCSC compliant data cleaning and wiping capabilities. o Includes file specific unique encryption features. o Includes file authentication guard features. o Includes unique encryption signaturing features. o Includes data importance and sensitivity stamping features. UDCM can be accessed through programs developed with popular application and database programming languages and environments such as: C, C++, Visual Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi, OOP Pascal, Turbo Pascal, SmallTalk, dBase, Paradox, Access, Sybase, Oracle, etc. DataET Research has released a shareware version of UDCM named UDCM V2.0. To download UDCM V2.0 for free, please go to: http://members.aol.com/dataetrsch/udcm.html. I hope you will consider applying UDCM in the software you develop. Thank-you very much for your time. Sincerely, Jeremy K.Yu-Ramos President DataET Research Data Engineering Technologies

IW-D Report
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We've digtized the 200-page "Information Warfare- Defense" report by the Defense Science Board. http://jya.com/iwd.htm It's quite informative about large-scale planning for coping with the threats of information age -- encryption among many other political, economic, technical and legal issues. There is overlap with the NRC cryptography report on prospects for technological fixes to security, but this report envisions a much more comprehensive plan. (William Ware served on both panels; Stewart Baker on the IW-D.) Comparison to threat models of the Center for Disease Control, FEMA and the National Drug Intelligence Center is provocative (Appendix D). Well worth reading for a preview of the next century's opportunities for wealth, power and infamy. ----- REPORT OF THE DEFENSE SCIENCE BOARD TASK FORCE ON INFORMATION WARFARE - DEFENSE (IW-D) November 1996 TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.0 INTRODUCTION 2.0 ENVIRONMENT 2.1 Growing Dependency, Growing Risk 2.2 Information Warfare 2.3 The Infrastructure 2.4 Threat 3.0 OBSERVATIONS 4.0 WHAT SHOULD WE DEFEND? 5.0 HOW SHOULD WE DEFEND? 5.1 Procedures, Processes and Mechanisms 5.2 Strategy 6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS 6.1 Designate an Accountable IW Focal Point 6.2 Organize for IW-D 6.2.1 Establish a Center for Intelligence Indications and Warning, Current Intelligence, and Threat Assessments 6.2.2 Establish a Center for IW-D Operations 6.2.3 Establish a Center for IW-D Planning and Coordination 6.2.4 Establish a Joint Office for System, Network and Infrastructure Design 6.2.5 Establish a Red Team for Independent Assessments 6.3 Increase Awareness 6.4 Assess Infrastructure Dependencies and Vulnerabilities 6.5 Define Threat Conditions and Responses 6.6 Assess IW-D Readiness 6.7 "Raise the Bar" with High Pay-Off, Low-Cost Items 6.8 Establish and Maintain a Minimum Essential Information Infrastructure 6.9 Focus the R&D 6.10 Staff for Success 6.11 Resolve the Legal Issues 6.12 Participate Fully in Critical Infrastructure Protection 6.13 Provide the Resources 7.0 SUMMARY APPENDIX A: Threat Assessment APPENDIX B: National Intelligence Exploitation Architecture APPENDIX C: A Taxonomy for Information Warfare?

Is this true?

My information tells me you are someone looking for an opportunity to make extra money. What if you could market with the best bulk email product available and at the same time make $100 every time you refer someone else to buy it? This bulk email program can personally address your letters which alone can greatly increase your response rate. It also can download addresses from 18 different sources. Users of Floodgate and Pegasus are rushing to get their hands on this product. It's so easy to use that I found myself stripping addresses and doing my first mailings within hours after registering it. As Entrepreneurs we understand the key to success is recognizing where the market is. The Internet is full of people promoting products and services. Now you can offer them the tool they need the most. For more information email me at cybergy(a)mindspring.com If you would like to be removed from any future mailings simply send email to remove(a)opportunity1.com. Thank you, Walter Cantrell

ok, htf do I get off this list?
by Si Dawson 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

OK, I've now sent THREE requests to majordomo to get off this list.. I got a reply back 4 hours ago saying I was off, and the next two said I wasn't a member of the list. Interesting list (minus the spamcrap obviously) and I think the moderation will be a good thing, BUT the 20 emails I've received in the last 4 hours (since I 'officially' unsubbed) is (to say the least) far more than I (or any reasonable mortal) can deal with. How do I unsubscribe? No, more importantly, how do I stop all these damn emails turning up? Thanks in Advance Simon As I think, talk, and act.. so I shall become..

Actually, on microscopical level *all* condoms have holes in them; the holes are just small enough for you not to worry bout it. The same applies to (good!) Key Recovery cryptography: there are holes but not big enough for you to worry about! > > Toto > Eric //My life-time-emailadress is Eric.Verheul(a)pobox.com //Use this when emails start bouncing when I have //switched to my next (inadequate) Internet-provider

They say that this tech may not be available for some time...however, I feel that may not be necessarily true...tech is coming and going much faster these days and according to Ray Bamford's stance at HP, he seems to think that this may soon(within the next year) become a viable reality. Can I ask what your stance and views are on this issue? And any ideas as to what we as a community can do about this NAZI-istic progression of freedoms?? -spanky

IBM Key Recovery Propaganda on United Airlines
by dimple＠pacific.net.sg 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The commercials between the movie and news show on the airline include an IBM spot on their new Key Recovery software. Sigh. The explanations they gave were mixed; one person was talking about making sure that if you lose the key that people with a legitimate need to access the material can do it. The other example they gave, with pictures, was along the lines of "Suppose you're going on vacation and you want to leave a key with a neighbor to feed the dog. A safe way to do it would be to put your house key in a lockbox that needs several keys to open it, and give those keys to people you trust." Yeah, right - cops can get in, but Dog's gonna get pretty hungry.... # 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. Thanks.)
