EMR Threat of RS-232 Cables
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Thanks to Steve Schear we've put a 1990 article on eavesdropping on RS-232 cable emanations which parallels van Eck's work on VDUs. "The Threat of Information Theft by Reception of Electromagnetic Radiation from RS-232 Cables" By Peter Smulders, Dept of EE, Eindhoven University of Technology Smulders notes that this type of emanation can disclose information, such as passwords, that does not appear on VDUs. And that cable shielding does not always prevent snooping. http://jya.com/rs232.pdf (367 kb)

National Cryptologic School Press
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A WaPo review today of a new book on military intelligence during the Civil War, cites the author's background in NSA and as director of the agency's National Cryptologic School Press. Are the publications of this press public? Anyone have an address? Access to a catalogue. Any other info? There's another, on-line, review of the book at: http://www.bookpage.com/9609bp/nonfiction/thesecretwarfortheunion.html

[snippo] If you could produce a 100% 'C' version, with in-line provisions for replaceable 'C' or assembler functions, and insure that there is no significant performance loss for having this portability, then you could at least issue the 100% 'C' code for any machine or O/S. This would make a lot of people happy if the application has wide interest. Is this possible, even if it's more work?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- According to Bartlett's, this is attributed to Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984): In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.

Off topic litter on Cyperpunks
by Lurker 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

What has happened to cypherpunks? I joined this mailing list more recently than many others who recieve it, but most reacently it has gone downhill. The descriptions I have read (and I have read many) all state that this list is deadicated to the discussion of cryptography issues. Where the hell is the discussion about cryptography? Three fourths of the messages I have been recieving are off topic (Ebonics and "Slaughter"). If I wanted to read about current events and holocost I would have joined groups that were specified for discussion of those.
