Re: access to storage keys, NOT comms keys!

Here is what leading cryptographers say about email key recovery, from http://www.crypto.com/key_study/report.shtml. This includes respected figures like Bruce Schneier, Matt Blaze, Ron Rivest, Ross Anderson, Whit Diffie, and more. 2.1 Communication Traffic vs. Stored Data While key ``recoverability'' is a potentially important added-value feature in certain stored data systems, in other applications of cryptography there is little or no user demand for this feature. In particular, there is hardly ever a reason for an encryption user to want to recover the key used to protect a communication session such as a telephone call, FAX transmission, or Internet link. If such a key is lost, corrupted, or otherwise becomes unavailable, the problem can be detected immediately and a new key negotiated. There is also no reason to trust another party with such a key. Key recoverability, to the extent it has a private-sector application at all, is useful only for the keys used to protect irreproducible stored data. There is basically no business model for other uses, as discussed below. In stored data applications, key recovery is only one of a number of options for assuring the continued availability of business-critical information. These options include sharing the knowledge of keys among several individuals (possibly using secret-sharing techniques), obtaining keys from a local key registry that maintains backup copies, careful backup management of the plaintext of stored encrypted data, or, of course, some kind of key recovery mechanism. The best option among these choices depends on the particular application and user. Encrypted electronic mail is an interesting special case, in that it has the characteristics of both communication and storage. Whether key recovery is useful to the user of a secure E-mail system depends on design of the particular system. The government, on the other hand, proposes a key recovery infrastructure that applies to virtually all cryptographic keys, including (especially) those used to protect communications sessions. They say that key recovery is not appropriate for transient keys used during a communication session. However, email is a special case, having characteristics of both communication and storage. In some systems, email may be archived for long periods of time in the same format that it was received. For such systems there is a business case for key recovery in email.

Have you ever realized that this list is for straight-up (used loosely) losers? The government is not planning to murder everyone. The Government is not keeping aliens in the 'basement'. The X-Files are not real. The government is not murdering public figures, and setting-up pore, civilian saps to take the fall. The only thing that the Government is doing is running our country the best it can. All you are doing for the Government, is finding fault and conspiracy in every action. You are destroying the Government, and are thereby destroying America. By even being a part of this list, you are confirming to the mindlessness that you so hard are trying not to do. None of you have my pity. I spit upon you all.

Infoseek search __________ ______ Help Navigation E-mail From Washington From: John King/CNN White House correspondent In: Philadelphia, Pa. Posted 10-8-97 Subject: Clinton to propose IRS citizens panel on Friday After weeks of Republican criticism that he was defending the Internal Revenue Service, sources tell CNN that President Bill Clinton on Friday will propose creating national and regional citizens boards to handle taxpayer complaints against the agency. Clinton's citizens panels would not have as much authority over the IRS as most Republicans prefer. But the White House believes the proposal will give the president cover. Under the Clinton plan, a national citizens panel would be created to serve as a forum for oversight and to handle taxpayer complaints. Similar panels would be created to serve as complaint clearinghouses for each of the IRS' three dozen regional offices. An administration official tells CNN that Clinton will also commit to internal IRS reforms designed to make the agency more efficient. The administration move comes after sharp complaints from congressional Democrats and White House political advisers who worried that the administration appeared to be defending the agency during Republican-called hearings that highlighted taxpayer complaints. _________________________________________________________________ In Other News: Wednesday Oct. 8, 1997 /BIG> Senators Grill Ickes On Democratic Fund-Raising /BIG> Democratic Fund-Raisers Will Testify If Immunized /BIG> Bennett: No 'Distinguishing Characteristics' /BIG> Clinton Replies To Thompson /BIG> Jackson Named U.S. Envoy To Africa /BIG> House Approves Abortion Ban Bill /BIG> Maine Gov.

Nortel Power Networks. Click Here. [INLINE] Digital Jam graphic EU stumps for encryption Commission urges U.S. to take 'hands off' approach on regulations October 8, 1997: 3:17 p.m. ET [LINK] [INLINE] Encryption fight rolls on - Sept. 15, 1997 Infoseek search __________ ____ ____ BRUSSELS (Reuter) - European officials urged governments, including the United States, on Wednesday to take a "hands off" approach to regulating the technology needed to ensure that Internet transactions are confidential. [INLINE] "If regulation at all is needed, it should be very light," a top telecommunications commission official said, presenting a report on how the European Union should promote security on the Internet. [INLINE] EU Telecommunications Commissioner Martin Bangemann told reporters that strict controls would end up penalizing law-abiding users rather than the criminals they targeted. [INLINE] He added that the United States, which restricts exports of certain strong encryption products, was becoming isolated on the issue. "We must engage in a debate with the Americans at an international level," he told a news conference. [INLINE] The commission's report addressed the use of encryption and "digital signatures" -- electronic seals that are attached to transmissions to allow recipients to verify their origin and ensure that they have not been tampered with. [INLINE] It urged the EU to take a common approach to the questions, saying otherwise cross-border Internet trade could be hampered. It said it would propose legislation on "digital signatures" in the first half of 1998. [INLINE] Encryption has become a contentious issue because some governments and law enforcement authorities want to regulate it as a way to keep it out of the hands of terrorists and other criminals. France has virtually outlawed use of encryption software. [INLINE] But the commission said controls could impede the growth of a technology that is essential to promoting business over the Internet and would likely not work anyway. [INLINE] "It's not possible to prevent criminals from using modern technologies in order to protect themselves and their messages from the police," Bangemann said. "There's not much point in preventing legal users from having access to this." [INLINE] In addition to its export controls, the United States is discussing legislation that would restrict encryption technology domestically, for example by requiring systems that would allow law enforcement authorities to tap into electronic transmissions. [INLINE] Bangemann renewed his push for a global charter on the Internet that would address questions such as encryption, noting that the United States had already expressed interest in the idea. [INLINE] The Commission said EU legislation on digital signatures would address questions such as legal recognition of signatures, liability, technical requirements and certification authorities (CAs). [INLINE] CAs hold information that allow recipients to confirm the identity of the person that has sent a transmission. [INLINE] It said it would look askance at national restrictions on encryption, however. "Instead of introducing or maintaining rather inefficient but cumbersome restrictions, the Commission invites member states to enhance cooperation of police forces on a European and international level," it said.

CNN logo Navigation Infoseek/Big Yellow Pathfinder/Warner Bros Tech banner IBM AS/400 rule U.S. SEEN AS OPEN TO CYBER ATTACK Cyber Warfare graphic October 8, 1997 Web posted at: 3:46 p.m. EDT (1946 GMT) BALTIMORE (AP) -- Suddenly, electric power goes off. Or telephones go dead. There's chaos in the electronic banking system. Are the incidents electronic accidents, or deliberate attacks? Computer security experts from government and private industry voiced agreement Tuesday that as the most technologically advanced society in the world, the United States is uniquely vulnerable to electronic attack. How soon the threat would be real and what could be done to block it were principal topics of discussion on the opening day of the National Information Systems Security Conference. "Our profound vulnerability is growing on a daily basis," said Charles Abzug of the Institute for Computer and Information Sciences. "Since our society is the most technologically advanced in the world, we are more vulnerable than anyone else." Robert Marsh, a retired Air Force general who is chairman of the President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, told the conference that "while a catastrophic cyber attack has not occurred, we have enough isolated incidents to know that the potential for disaster is real and the time to act is now." The commission is expected to send its report to the White House next week. Marsh said the panel would recommend far greater cooperation and sharing of information between government and private industry, accelerated research and a nationwide program to educate people on the scope of the problem. But questions were quickly raised as to how much information the government could share from a report that is classified. "We have to solve this dilemma because if we don't, we have no sharing of information," said Thomas J. Falvey, a commission member who is a security expert at the Transportation Department. Marsh conceded in an interview that there will be a need to break down reluctance within industry and government to share sensitive information. He said there is a need to "devise the means by which the private sector can in fact be willing to share its information and not fear that it will leak." At the same time, the government "is going to have to recognize that in this new era, it's the private sector that needs some of this threat information and this warning information." As examples of cyber attacks already experienced, Marsh cited incidents at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia and Griffis Air Force Base in Rome, New York. "A flood of e-mail messages originating in Australia and Estonia, and routed through the White House computer system, virtually shut down Langley air base's e-mail for hours," he said. Someone in England routing messages through Latvia, Colombia and Chile and commercial Internet service providers gained access to computers at Rome Laboratory at Griffis and "launched attacks against a wide array of defense and government computer systems," Marsh said. One of the difficulties in such cases is determining whether it is the work of a mischievous hacker or an attack by a hostile government. "If Iran attacked AT&T, how does AT&T know that's an act of war rather than some kid fooling around?" asked John Pescatore, a senior consultant at Trusted Information Systems, a developer of computer security software.
