Reeves 5/15/98 conclusion
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Sunday 5/31/98 7:03 PM Orlin I erred by not transcribing Reeve's conclusion in his Friday 5/15/1998 Albuquerque Journal editorial Our policy is not stupid. It's hypocritical and delusionary, but not stupid. What was stupid was to actually believe that countries like India, Pakistan, China, and Iran and Israel, too, would act on American words and illusions rather than on their own national interests and fears. This American blunder of intelligence and intellect is not another inside-the-beltway, Ken-and-Monica joke. This is an affair of state, a failure of state. Officials should not be subpoenaed or mocked; they should resign or be fired. Let ALL hope for release of the documents requested at http://www.jya.com/whp052898.htm and peaceful settlement of another American blunder of intelligence. Later bill

Monday 6/1/98 7:16 PM John Young The SAND report you posted at http://jya.com/whpfiles.htm was a DELIBERATE attempt to send NSA a message. I had some help from Sandia classification. Bill Subject: refrigerator magnet Date: Mon, 01 Jun 1998 18:16:01 -0600 From: bill payne <billp(a)nmol.com> To: masanori fushimi <fushimi(a)misojiro.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp> CC: cypherpunks(a)toad.com, ukcrypto(a)maillist.ox.ac.uk Monday 6/1/98 6:05 PM Masanori I put the refrigerator magnet 1945 509th COMPOSITE GROUP 1995 FIRST ATOMIC BOMBARDMENT 50th ANNIVERSARY in the mail to you today. Reason I sent the magnet is to show THAT THERE ARE SOME REALLY-SICK MINDS [see reverse side of magnet] IN POWER in the US. Just got off the phone with John Young. Governments, including Japan, TRY to mess with peoples' minds. There is a book on this. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/quicksearch-query/002-2147604-1106833 David Felton But I have a solution. I do not read e-mail. At this time. I also believe in what Kahn wrote Thursday, March 20, 1980, 09:30 David Kahn addressed Congress, the Committee on Government Operations. Kahn stated to the committee, A final benefit is that refusing to restrict cryptologic studies erects yet another rampart against the chipping away of American liberties. Is this rampart, again, worth the danger to national security? Yes, because the danger is not as acute as the N.S.A. wishes people to see it. N.S.A. wants people to think that publication of cryptologic material would slam shut its window into the Third World countries. In fact such publication has little effect ... The national security dangers are not so great as to dismantle individual freedom. For all of these reasons, then, no limitation should be placed on the study of cryptology. And beyond them all lies something more fundamental, in the end, will probably prevent any restrictions anyway. It is called the First Amendment. I thank you. I hope you see that I am using the seventh amendment. http://www.jya.com/whp052898.htm And even more adamantly I believe For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul. Kahn on Codes page 172 Best regards bill

Last Call For Participation - RAID 98
by dac＠zurich.ibm.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Last Call For Participation - RAID 98 (also available at http://www.zurich.ibm.com/~dac/RAID98) First International Workshop on the Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection September 14-15, 1998 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium We solicit your participation in the first International Workshop on the Recent Advances in Intrusion Detection (RAID 98). This workshop, the first in an anticipated annual series, will bring together leading figures from academia, government, and industry to talk about the current state of intrusion detection technologies and paradigms from the research and commercial perspectives. Research into and development of automated intrusion detection systems (IDS) has been under way for nearly 10 years. By now a number of systems have been deployed in the commercial or government arenas, but all are limited in what they do. At the same time, the numerous research and prototype systems developed have been more engineering than scientific efforts, with scant quantitative performance figures. As we survey the field of automated intrusion detection, we are faced with many questions: 1. What research questions have yet to be answered (or even asked) about IDS? 2. What are the open challenges, limitations, and fundamental concerns about present intrusion detection methodologies? 3. What metrics can we use to measure IDS performance and thus compare different systems and methodologies? These measurements should highlight the successes and expose the limitations of current IDS approaches. 4. What factors are inhibiting transfer of research ideas into functional deployed systems? How can those be addressed? 5. What is the role of a deployed IDS? How should or can it fit in with other security systems? 6. What are the typical IDS operating environments? What can be done to configure IDS to unique operating environments? 7. What are the challenges for IDS in very large environments, such as the Internet? 8. Is it time to contemplate IDS standards? What are the advantages and disadvantages of standardizing components of IDS? What forums (e.g., IETF, ISO) would be appropriate for pursuing such standards? 9. What are the problems of turning the results of intrusion detection tools into legally reliable evidence? What are the problems of admissibility and of courtroom presentation? We invite proposals and panels that explore these questions or any other aspect of automated intrusion detection. We especially solicit proposals and panels that address: 1. New results related to intrusion detection methodologies and technologies. 2. Innovative ways of thinking about intrusion detection; for example, the applicability of R&D in the fields of survivable and/or dependable systems, data mining, etc. 3. User experiences and lessons learned from fielded intrusion detection systems. 4. IDS for emerging computer environments (e.g., Java, CORBA, and NT). 5. Commercial intrusion detection systems. We have scheduled RAID 98 immediately before ESORICS 98, at the same time as CARDIS 98, and at the same location as both of these conferences. This provides a unique opportunity for the members of these distinct, yet related, communities to participate in all these events and meet and share ideas during joined organized external events.

CARDIS 98: smart card research
by Jean-Jacques Quisquater 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

CARDIS Conference Announcement Final Call for Papers and Panels ------------------------------------------------------------- THIRD SMART CARD RESEARCH AND ADVANCED APPLICATION CONFERENCE SEPTEMBER 14-16, 1998 UCL, LOUVAIN-LA-NEUVE, BELGIUM ------------------------------------------------------------ Aims and Goals Smart cards, or IC cards, offer a huge potential for information processing purposes. The portability and processing power of IC cards allow for highly secure conditional access and reliable distributed information systems. There are IC cards available that can perform highly sophisticated cryptographic computations. The applicability of IC cards is currently limited mainly by our imagination; the information processing power that can be gained by using IC cards remains as yet mostly untapped and is not well understood. Here lies a vast uncovered research area which we are only beginning to assess, and which will have a great impact on the eventual success of the technology. The research challenges range from electrical engineering on the hardware side to tailor-made cryptographic applications on the software side, and their synergies. Many currently existing events are mainly devoted to commercial and application aspects of IC cards. In contrast, the CARDIS conferences aim to bring together researchers who are active in all aspects of the design of IC cards and related devices and environments, such as to stimulate synergy between different research communities and to offer a platform for presenting the latest research advances. CARDIS 1994, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), held in November 1994 in Lille, France, successfully brought together representatives from leading IC research centers from all over the world. CARDIS 1996 was the second occasion for the IC card community in this permanent activity. CARDIS 1996 was organized jointly by the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science at Amsterdam (CWI) and the Department of Logic and Computer Science of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). Organization General Chair Catherine Rouyer (UCL, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) Program Chairs Jean-Jacques Quisquater (UCL, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium) Bruce Schneier (Counterpane, USA) Program Committee (in construction) William Caelli (QUT, Brisbane, Australia) Vincent Cordonnier (R2DP, Lille, France) David Chan (HP Labs, Bristol, UK) Jean-François Dhem (Belgacom, Belgium) J.

Each paper should explain its contribution in both general and technical terms, identifying what has been accomplished, saying why it is significant, and comparing it with previous work. Authors should make every effort to make the technical content of their papers understandable to a broad audience. Papers should be written in English. Working papers, research in progress are welcome. Authors should submit: an extended abstract (more or less 5 pages) either by email to jjq(a)dice.ucl.ac.be (we prefer the electronic submission) using one of the following formats: postscript, rtf, latex or word 6. or send 12 copies of the paper to Jean-Jacques Quisquater UCL/DICE Place du Levant, 3 B-1348 Louvain-la-Neuve Belgium The paper should be formatted using the LNCS format from Springer-Verlag, if possible. In any case, each paper should be accompanied by information submitted via email to jjq(a)dice.ucl.ac.be that consists of: * a single postal address and electronic mail address for communication * complete title, author and affiliation information * the abstract of the paper * a small selection of the keywords that appear on this call for papers, which best describes the contribution of the paper Preproceedings will be available at the conference. It is intended to publish the proceedings in the Springer-Verlag LNCS series. Authors of accepted papers may be expected to sign a copyright release form.

RE: DNA sequencing info needed
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

It's now a cliche of bio-terrorism bellringers that "this stuff scares me silly," with scientists, pols and first responders now comically repeating the code. A technological artist on Long Island has set up in his studio a collection of the most deadly germs known on earth, in a small glass display, with labels and descriptions of what they are and can do: dosages, kill ratios, distribution methods, sources of specimens and food supplies, URLs for bio-terrorists. He invites art connoisseurs to visit. They walk around the room looking for the show, see little except typical suburban living room furniture, then spy the glass tank, approach, read, freeze, then begin to tremble. Some scream, some faint, some vomit in horror, claw clothing, stampede for the exit. The artist tries to reassure them it's only a carefully constructed simulation. None believe him. They shiver outside in the yard and whimper accusations of terrorism, which, he confesses, is the truth of bio-terrorism, to scare sane people silly.
