Non-conventional

Tim May implied that Cpunx should develop non-conventional email. Crypto has been declared to be munitions. Nukes are non-conventional weapons. Should we be developing nuclear email? Should we 'email-nuke DC?" Prespiring minds want to know...

Import restrictions for crypto code
by Jerry R. Brady 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

First, I was at hip, met some of you, camped behind the cypherpunks tent and had a blast. I'm not on the list anymore (couldn't keep up) but have a quick question which I know someone can post a quick answer back to me directly. I'd appreciate it. We have an RC540/RSA512/MD5 crypto package our customers use for the secure exchange of CAD data files with some of the automotive industry OEMs - It is a very lucrative store-and-forward system. We have a customer in Italy and I need to know if there are any import restrictions for sending the software there. We already have a GSN exemption because the international code is whimpy. Perhaps there is also an on-line resource that covers what countries have import restrictions? Any help would be appreciated, please mail directly to me. Regards, Jerry ps.

Freeh letter to NYT
by Roger Schlafly 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

[From www.nytimes.com, Oct. 16, 1997] To the Editor: "An Attack on Privacy Rights" (editorial, Oct. 3) argues that the approach to encryption that the law enforcement community is advocating has somehow "put the need to eavesdrop on criminals above the privacy rights of ordinary Americans." Nothing could be further from the truth. You fail to mention that the same court-ordered, judicially approved procedures that now apply to wiretaps and electronic data searches would also apply to our ability to obtain decryption keys or information. In fact, what we proposed requires two orders from a judge before we proceed, not just one as now required. There is another issue that, if unaddressed, will have public safety ramifications. Encryption that cannot be deciphered regardless of the number of court orders or new technologies obtained by the police will devastate our ability to fight crime and prevent terrorism. It will nullify the ability to carry out court-authorized searches and seizures of criminal communication and electronic evidence. Policy decisions about encryption should not be left solely to market forces. Congress, the computer industry and law enforcement can work together to craft legislation that balances the public safety with the commercial and private needs of law-abiding Americans. We are not wedded to any particular solution, but feel that some workable solution can be found to insure that law enforcement can gain immediate access to the plaintext of encrypted criminal communication or electronic data that we have lawfully seized. LOUIS J. FREEH Dir., Federal Bureau of Investigation Washington, Oct. 10, 1997 ---------------------------------------------------------------- How can he say this with a straight face? >In fact, what we proposed requires two orders from a judge >before we proceed, not just one as now required. The DOJ proposal, sect 302, says: (A) A Key Recovery Agent, whether or not registered by the Secretary under this Act, shall disclose recovery information stored by a person: (1) ...; or (2) to a law enforcement or national security government agency upon receipt of written authorization in a form to be specified by the Attorney General. It also contradicts his final sentence: >... some workable solution can be found to insure that law enforcement can >gain immediate access to the plaintext of encrypted criminal communication >or electronic data that we have lawfully seized. The term "immediate access" means without having to goto a judge. Roger

what is purpose of CMR?
by Adam Back 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This is a question which I am unclear on about PGP Inc's design goals in using the CMR method. Is the CMR field to allow the company to recover from the user forgetting his password? (recover his mail folder full of encrypted email). or Is the CMR field to allow the company to read the email in transit This seems like a fairly important distinction. Adam

MonkeyWrenching Monitoring

I share and/or swap my email accounts with others on a regular basis, particularly at times when I can verify I was somewhere other than where the account was logged onto. I do the same with non-essential crypto keys, etc. This sharing, in many legal jurisdictions, turns your accounts into a 'public street', so to speak, meaning that any 'tracks' left behind don't necessarily lead to your own doorstep in a legalistic sense. A word of caution: If you don't have access to *good* legal services, the above methods may work against you, if push comes to shove. MonkeyMonger

CMR Monkeywrenching Itself
by Anonymous 17 Dec '03

a0a1a2a3a4a5a6a7a8a9 b0b1b2b3b4b5b6b7b8b9 ... z0z1z2z3z4z5z6z7z8z9 If you send the above message repeatedly, changing a single character at a time, in increments (X0a1a2.../aXa1a2...) some interesting things happen to messages encrypted to two keys, especially if they share a one-time pad. These 'interesting things' are wonderful tools for prying open the secrets of a foreign key, using what you already know about the key you are in possession of. If you happen to be working with an encryption program that unwitting allows you to access the one-time pad it is using (or to *supply* the one-time pad it uses), then you can crack secret keys during your lunch breaks and still have time to complete a level of Doom before it is time to get back to work.
