Crypto '98 is organized by the International Association for Cryptologic Research (IACR), in cooperation with the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Security and Privacy, and the Computer Science Department of the University of California, Santa Barbara. For more information, access http://www.iacr.org/ INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Authors are strongly encouraged to submit their papers electronically. A detailed description of the electronic submission procedure will appear by December 1, 1997 at http://www.iacr.org/conferences/c98/submit.html. Electronic submissions must conform to this procedure in order to be considered. Authors unable to submit electronically are invited to send a cover letter and 22 copies of an anonymous paper (double-sided copies preferred) to the Program Chair at the postal address below. Submissions must be received by the Program Chair on or before February 16, 1998 (or postmarked by February 7, 1998, and sent via airmail or courier). Late submissions and submissions by fax will not be considered. The cover letter should contain the paper's title and the names and affiliations of the authors, and should identify the contact author including e-mail and postal addresses. Only original research contributions will be considered. Submissions must not substantially duplicate work that any of the authors have published elsewhere or have submitted in parallel to any other conference or workshop that has proceedings. The paper must be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments or obvious references. It should begin with a title, a short abstract, and a list of key words, and its introduction should summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. The paper should be at most 12 pages excluding the bibliography and clearly marked appendices, and at most 20 pages in total, using at least 11-point font and reason- able margins. Committee members are not required to read appendices, so the paper should be intelligible without them. Submissions not meeting these guidelines risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS Proceedings will be published in Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science and will be available at the conference.

Tim May Guilty in OKC Bombing!
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

~ Prosecution tries to link May, McVeigh through literature BIENFAIT (CANADIAN NUTLY NEWS) -- Drunks testifying Wednesday in the Oklahoma City bombing trial said they found anti-government literature in the home of defendant Tim C. May that was similar to that found in the car of Timothy McVeigh. A shitfaced Lying Fuck Louis J. Freeh said, "Pro-constitution, anti-government, it's all the same crap." ... One document referred to the government raid on the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas, and contained the Thomas Jefferson quote: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." FBI agents snorting cocaine in the bathroom were heard to say that they were looking into the possibility that John Doe #3 might, in fact, be Thomas Jefferson. ... The government has argued that McVeigh and May were incensed over how federal agents handled the 1993 clash with the Branch Davidian cult in Waco in which 80 cult members died. Lying Nazi Cunt Janet Reno testified that, to her knowledge, May and McVeigh were the only two people in the US who were angered by the FBI murder of men, women and children. ... One document seized in Timothy C. May's house was a copy of a March 15, 1993, letter published in The Wall Street Journal that referred to Waco and "equates federal agents with Nazi SS agents exterminating Jews in World War II." When prosecutors entered this as evidence, May broke down on his bar stool and confessed. "When they introduced the evidence that I read The Wall Street Journal," May told Canadian Nutly News reportwhores, "I knew it was only a matter of time until they linked me to Jim Bell, who has been learning how to read from prison copies of the newpaper." ... Rumors that May ratted out other readers of The Wall Street Journal in return for a double-shot of Tequila could not be confirmed. All political figures queried by Nutly News reportwhores denied reading the terrorist rag, including its publishers. The editor of The Wall Street Journal vehemently denied rumors that May had secretly named him as an avid reader of his own paper, claiming, "Hell, I can't even read." He also added that Tim May and Jim Bell were known to be Janet Reno's secret lovers, though admitting that they did not fuck her with their own dicks. Tomorrow: FBI investigating reports that a majority of Cypherpunks mailing list subscribers used letters of the English alphabet that were 'similar' to those used by May and Bell.

Of course, I want to make it perfectly clear that I am referring only to doing so as a member of a freedom-fighting organization whose aims are fully supported by any government who might want to prosecute me for asking a hypothetical question of this nature. And, naturally, I would only be interested in those methods of killing that would result in the deaths of only those who are the evil enemies of any government who might want to prosecute me for asking a hypothetical question of this nature.

Mitnick Rings Bell
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

6 November 1997, Digital Cellular Report: U.S. government takes hard line on Mitnick. US Hacker Pleads for Help A US 'hacker'- Kevin David Mitnick - has issued a plea for financial help to fight his defence case through his lawyer, Donald C Randolph of Santa Monica, USA. Through Randolph, Mitnick is claiming that the US government is seeking to make an example of him for the possession of unauthorised cellular access codes. The issue is particularly important in the North American market where analogue, rather than digital cellular, is the norm. In one of the most amazing claims, Mitnick claims to have been kept in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day, naked in a freezing air-conditioned cell for eight months and led to the showers in chains. Perhaps the most puzzling aspect to the whole case is the fact that while the US government has never sought to prove that Mitnick profited from his 'hacking' activities - although he could certainly have done so by 'selling' stolen airtime to third parties. Instead they claim he caused losses in excess of $80 million. Kevin certainly appears to be paying the price for his nefarious deeds having already spent nearly two years in custody during which time he has been prohibited from any access to wireless communications equipment, computer hardware or computer software. It's difficult to know exactly which side is the more paranoid since Mitnick is claiming that his fate is part of a deliberate US government plot to divert scrutiny away from its plans concerning the control and regulation of both telecommunications and the Internet. The case would seem to present a most powerful argument for the US to switch more swiftly over to digital cellular where 'hacking' is far more difficult.

If the churches pay taxes they aren't seperate. > > I pay taxes, I am separated from the state. Do you hold US citizenship? If so then, no, your assertion of seperation from the state is incorrect. It's that pesky "We the people..." thing. If you want to be considered seperate from the US *AND* you don't want to pay US taxes then renounce your US citizenship and move to another country *OR* figure out a way to become your own 1 person church. Like it or not that's the way it works. > > If the state supports churches they aren't seperate. > > If the state doesn't tax churches they are subsidizing them relative > to other sorts of organisations. This is surely a form of support. Subsidize means to pay, the government does not pay as a rule pay the churches anything, that would violate the seperation clause as well. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
