NSA Job Offer
by William J. Clinton 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Dear Randall I saw your post on the cypherpunks list debunking the forgery of my good friend Phill Zimmerman. As you are no doubt aware my Deputy Director of the NSA retired recently and I've decided that Barbie is no longer suitable following certain uncomplimentary remarks she made after a fireside shagging^H^H^H^Hchat we had last night. I am therefore looking for a supersluth to fill this challenging position. If you would be interested in taking the bit between your teeth, so to speak, please email me and we'll do lunch. -- Bill C.

I don't think I'm out of line here in saying that all this spoofing of other users is a bit childish. I'm sure there are better things one could find to do with one's time. (Possibly work on cracking RSA's 128- bit key?) --Dylan

Request for expert opinion and Feedback
by Joubin 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hello all, I am involved in a project which aims at the creation of a free and portable Java(tm) based object operating system. A basic functional requirement for this new OS is to provide /fast and effective/ strong cryptographic support at the OS level. The basic structure of the system is a layered architecture, with the lowest layer consisting of a platform specific (non-portable) kernel supporting an embedded JVM (again in C/ASM) and a set of Java(tm) interfaces to this 'virtual platform'. The OS proper will sit on top of this and will be 100% Java (tm). The issue: As you may know, SMI has and will deliver a set of 'security' packages as a standard component of JDK. This uses RSA technology. Basic and general 'interfaces' to encapsulate constructs such as Key, Provider, Cypher, etc. are also defined. A few people in the project group feel that many different groups and entities out there will provide (portable) Public Key encryption packages (implemented in Java(tm)) that can be used by the users of the OS. They argue against embedding computational support at the Kernel (non-portable) layer as wasted effort. Others (& myself included) feel that 'effective' also means efficiency of execution. Specially so if such functionality is to be used to encypher 'streams' and such (if that is possible). Your expert advice: a) How do you feel about 'where' the computational support should be implemented ? b) Assuming answer to (a) to be "At the kernel level and in C/ASM", is it possible to achieve a fine-grain modularity in terms of fairly generic algorithms and computations which can then be combined in conjunction to support a variety of encryption strategies ? c) Is there any benefit to implementing the random number generation system in the Kernel? Your input is greatly appreciated. If you feel there are other considerations to be made, please let me know. Thank you. Joubin p.s.

spoofing as performance art

Hey, the jokes from Anonymous(ses) and Dmitri M. Vulis are the only reason I _read_ cpunks anymore! Oh yeah-- and that hilarious spoof about PGP, Inc. putting GAK-friendly features into their product. It's so funny that people fall for that old "PGP is in with the government" gag every time it comes around. Also, I'm looking for a job, I think. Or else a good university to go to. But mostly I'm just reading the hilarious Anonymous posts and spoofs. Regards, Zooko

Very sad. Lucky, did you actually read anything I wrote, or is this merely another knee-jerk response? If you can explain the following, then I'll accept that my fears are merely fantasies: 1. How PGP can prevent CMR being converted into GMR; their system builds all the code required to support mandatory encryption to FBI and NSA keys into every copy of PGP. 2. Why PGP prefer this option to almost identical systems which do not allow GMR. They don't even seem to be interested in discussing alternatives. These are the important questions we should be asking and noone on the pro-PGP side seems interested in answering them. Why? Frankly, this issue seems to be the most important since Clipper, and I'm amazed that so many cypherpunks are so dazzled by PGP's name that they refuse to sit and think these issues through. Mark

InfoWar Epilogue 6 / The Geigerburg Text
by Bubba Rom Dos 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The True Story of the InterNet Part III InfoWar Final Frontier of the Digital Revolution Behind the ElectroMagnetic Curtain by TruthMonger <tm(a)dev.null> Copyright 1997 Pearl Publishing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- InfoWar Table of Contents * Epilogue * Bubba Rom Dos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Epilogue ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORK AND NOT WORK Looking back over the events of my life since I wrote Witness and the experience of the Institute Summer School of 1962; it becomes more than ever clear to me that our understanding of man turns upon the problem of Reality. If the aim of existence is Self-Realization and if this is identical with God-Realization, then the connecting link that makes them one and the same is to be found in the meaning of the word 'Reality'. If all were equally real, then realization means the process of transformation that leads from the unreality or imperfect reality towards Reality in the fullest sense. The theme of this book is that there are both degrees and distinctive modes of Reality, and that there is a process that leads from the Unreal to the Real. This, in its turn, requires that there should be a means of effecting the transformation. This 'means' is what we call by the name of WORK. In the book there are few references to Work, either in the absolute sense as the process of universal realization, or in the relative sense of personal transformation. This is because those who participated in the discussions started from the premise that Work is a reality in both senses: absolute and relative. We were not concerned to discuss the authenticity of the process of transformation, but to understand it better. The obligation to work for Reality is the Categorical Imperative from which life derives its meaning. It is, as Kant showed in the Grundlage, the ultimate, irreducible, moral certainty from which are derived our notions of God, Immortality and Ethic. I have never been satisfied, nor I believe was Kant himself, with the Critique of Practical Reason. It does not convey the sense of urgency which we experience in contemplating life based on Work and life without Work. I was impelled to write this Epilogue by the impact of a vision or vivid dream that woke me from sleep a few nights ago. I found myself in some remote, antipodean place where people were living ordinary lives. I recognized not a few of them as people I knew or had read about and noticed with a sense of wonder rather than surprise that some were still living and others were dead. They did not notice this difference because in any case they were all ghosts. But they were all aware of being ghosts and wanted to turn into real people. From time to time, an aeroplane arrived with others who joined them and among the new arrivals were both living ghosts and dead ghosts. I was made aware that all was well with these people because eventually they would cease to be ghosts. Then I found myself back again nearer home; but this time I was taken to some kind of underground place. Here also were people more or less happily occupied with their daily lives and some of them were now living and others were dead. These also were ghosts but these ghosts were neither able to distinguish between life and death, nor did they understand that they were no more than ghosts. I knew that I must tell them about their condition and about the other place where ghosts were being transformed into real beings. When I spoke to them of aeroplanes that could take them over, they said that they would go only if an aeroplane would come back and assure them that there was a place for them over there. I remember very clearly explaining that once an aeroplane had gone over, it would never return. This seemed to them illogical and unreasonable and they took no more notice of what I said. Then I found myself in a kind of lift being taken back to the surface. I looked at the lift-man and said to myself, "If I were not colour blind I should see that his face is grey". Somehow, this observation brought home to me the terror of being a ghost and immense pity filled me for these people who had lost the possibility of becoming real. As I began to wake up, I said to myself: "What does it really matter that they are only ghosts? They are good, decent people, living good, decent lives and if they are satisfied with unreality why should they be disturbed? Their ghostly existence is also necessary." At that moment I awakened completely and saw, in a flash, the infinite significance of Work. It is the imperative of all imperatives, the source from which all life takes its meaning, the way to Reality and even Reality itself. Work takes many forms: but all forms have one common character: the Will to Reality. Whether active or passive, whether in solitude or in society, work is always one and the same: it is the dedication of the will to the realization of Reality. This dedication carries with it the obligation to share understanding with others and to serve the Work in its universal significance. That is why those who have seen the difference between ghost-life and real-life are compelled to speak of what they have seen-even to those who do not wish to hear. I am more than ever aware of the imperfections and even the errors in what I have written. I am ashamed to offer it as a "Spiritual Psychology" to those who are seeking for the Reality that is Work. Let it be taken as an essay and an attempt to share an understanding that is still in the process of being born. J.G. Bennett. January, 1964. {Excerpt from "A Spiritual Psychology" by J.G.

What is InfoWar? InfoWar is the voice that tells you that you can shit on the road, and not meet flies upon your return, if you spray the area with Agent Orange. InfoWar is the voice that tells you that you can spray the area with Agent Orange and not suffer any consequences to your own health, because you don't live here. InfoWar is the voice that tells you the people who do live here are Communists who need to be killed, with the help of Agent Orange, and people who need to be saved from both the Communists and the flies, with the help of Agent Orange. InfoWar is when the evening movie at the PX is 'Clockwork Orange' and your head starts pounding, as a ferocious battle begins between your awakened prenascence and the thundering voice which is screaming, "It is not synchronicityit is only a coincidence." InfoWar is when you can look at a picture of a napalm-burned child and tell by the color of their skin whether or not they are the enemy. I am not arguing for or against this or that battle, this or that war. I am only pointing out that anyone who returns from war the same as when they left for war, or with their sanity completely intact, in need of no healing Well, let me just say that they already live in a Virtual Reality within which the inhabitants of that reality do not realize that they are ghosts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- InfoWar is when you don't turn on the gasyou only put them in the ovens.

InfoWar is when you have two types of nuclear bombs and you convince yourself that they both need to be dropped, not for testing purposes, but to end the war earlier, and to save lives. InfoWar is going to sleep praying that your Generals and Nuclear Physicists don't wake you in the morning to tell you that they have developed a third type of nuclear bomb, which must be dropped in order to shorten the war and save livesor a fourth, or a fifth. InfoWar is convincing you to develop nuclear software without a backdoor that you can use to prevent it from raining destruction on the innocent, because you are just a programmer, an engineer, a designer, a grunt, and these types of decisions are to be made by those who are trained to know when it is right for millions upon millions of people to die, and for the earth to be scorched beyond repair. InfoWar is convincing you to design surveillance software without a mechanism available to defeat it if it falls into the hands of the Destroyer. InfoWar is thinking that you are an island, and that your island only produces the tools and weapons that can be used for great Good or great Evil-thinking that those on other islands bear the responsibility for how those tools and weapons are used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace.
