Crypto Policy Paper
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We offer a paper distributed at the recent NYC crypto forum, "Private Groups and Public Policy: Cryptography and the National Research Council," by Kenneth Dam, professor of law at the University of Chicago, a panelist at the forum, and chair of the NRC panel which produced the report "Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society," May, 1996. http://jya.com/damrole.htm (63K) Professor Dam recounts the impact of the NRC report on the Administration's encryption policy as an example of how private groups help shape public policy.

CDR & SSZ
by Jim Choate 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi, I am in the process of expanding my business. While this will not effect the stability of the Cypherpunks Distributed Remailer, in fact we hope to make it more stable, it will mean some additional resources being available in the near future. I unfortunately can't say more on this now. However, I can say that 'CyberTects' will most likely cease to exist in a matter of days. It will be subsumed in the creation of a newer and larger business entity (we are currently fighting over the name). This new entity will be taking on the SSZ network & its user base. I will still be directly responsible for the operation and customer satisfaction of SSZ users. There will be more announcements in the near future. However, if you have specific questions (no answer promised) please feel free to send them to me. Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com

Forwarded message: > From: "William H. Geiger III" <whgiii(a)amaranth.com> > Date: Sun, 25 May 97 11:05:39 -0500 > Subject: SSZ Lag Test > Timing responces from SSZ should probably be averaged about 8-10 times a day for about a week to get a good idea of what to expect. The majority of the time the system is not heavily using the ISDN nor are many users logged in. However, two of my users transmit large blocks of data (one is video and the other is a web-spider) w/o warning and make a significant impact. We also tend to have very spikey web access.

ANNOUNCE:- RSAEuro Version 1.04 (Internet) and 1.10 (Commercial)
by rsaeuro＠repertech.com 17 Dec '03

ANNOUNCE:- RSAEuro Version 1.04 (Internet) and 1.10 (Commercial) ================================================================ What is RSAEuro? ---------------- RSAEuro is a cryptographic toolkit providing various functions for the use of digital signatures, data encryption and supporting areas (PEM encoding, random number generation etc). To aid compatibility with existing software, RSAEuro is call-compatible with RSADSI's "RSAREF(tm)" toolkit. RSAEuro allows non-US residents to make use of much of the cryptographic software previously only (legally) available in the US. RSAEuro contains support for the following: * RSA encryption, decryption and key generation. Compatible with 'RSA Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #1. * Generation and verification of message digests using MD2, MD4, MD5 and SHS (SHS currently not implemented in higher-level functions to maintain compatibility with PKCS). * DES encryption and decryption using CBC (1, 2 or 3 keys using Encrypt-Decrypt-Encrypt) and DESX(tm), RSADSI's secure DES enhancement. Blowfish and RRC.2 encryption and decryption using CBC (available in commercial versions only). * Diffie-Hellman key agreement as defined in PKCS #3. * PEM support support for RFC 1421 encoded ASCII data with all main functions. * Key routines implemented in assembler for speed (80386 and 680x0 currently supported). * Much improved library documentation with code samples. International Use ----------------- IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please do not distribute or use this software in the US it is 'illegal' to use this toolkit in the US, as RSADSI and Cylink hold patents relating to public-key cryptography. If you are a US resident, please use the RSAREF toolkit instead. On The Web ---------- RSAEuro can now be found at http://www.repertech.com/RSAEuro.html Author Details -------------- With comments and suggestions, please address them to Stephen Kapp, at 'rsaeuro(a)repertech.com', for documentation comments suggestions please address them to Nick Barron, at 'nikb(a)repertech.com' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RSAEURO: rsaeuro(a)repertech.com RSAEURO Bugs: rsaeuro-bugs(a)repertech.com Tel: +44 (0)370 566687 Http: http://www.repertech.com/RSAEuro.html RSAEURO - Copyright (c) J.S.A.Kapp 1994-1997. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RSAEURO - Cryptography for the World.

Lewis McCarthy (lmccarth(a)cs.umass.edu) wrote * [various newsgroups removed from the distribution] * Eli the Bearded writes: * > help prevent the moderator or a third party from inventing * > posts from people. (If someone always posts from the Lucifer remailer * > how can you tell real posts from that person from fakes? They all * > look a like.) * * Three words: "public key cryptography" * * Note that unsigned Usenet articles can be forged by anyone, * regardless of whether or not they're sent through an anonymizer. * Unsigned articles only give the illusion of authentication. At * least with anonymized articles, most people realize more readily * that there's no real proof of identity present (as you noted above). That is correct. A moderated newsgroup can be set up such that messages coming from certain addresses can be required to be digitally signed. This requirement, of course, does not have to apply to all users and can be done on a voluntary basis. Anonymous users can also enjoy the benefits of authentication, if they submit their public keys to the moderator (with the key address set to something like space(a)alien.nowhere) and request that all messages coming with the address "space(a)alien.nowhere" be authenticated. This is a very positive aspect of moderated groups, since anonymous posters can enjoy both anonymity and reputation. The other concern here seems to be forgers who forge valid addresses of existing users. Again, a moderated group has a great flexibility to introduce SOME authentication without even the need for using public key cryptography. The moderator can set up a password-based system. Anyone can request a password sent to them by sending an email to password(a)moderation.site.com. A unique password will be generated, stored and sent back to the requestor. The address that had been assigned the password gets on the "watch list" and all article submissions from that address would be checked for presence of the password. Of course, a password needs to be wiped out from the message priot to teh approval. As long as email remains private (ie, there is no man in the middle or any sniffers acting), this scheme is secure. Again, it may be either purely voluntary or mandatory. Of course, anonymous users need special treatment since they are unable to receive email. Such users may continue to use PGP. igor
