Just a quick update from sixdegrees(tm). Unfortunately Isaac Lee (zac(a)pulp-fiction.com) asked not to be listed as your contact with sixdegrees. We also wanted to make sure you were aware that you currently have no other confirmed contacts, so it will be hard for you to have a productive sixdegrees experience. As you probably know, without any confirmed contacts, you won't get any results from our networking searches. So, we just wanted to recommend that you head over to http://www.sixdegrees.com , log-in, and go to MY CONTACTS to list additional relationships. ==================================================================== PLEASE NOTE: All replies to this address are processed by a computer.

DARPA Hires NetAss/TIS TO Develop Secure DNS
by Bill Stewart 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

This is somewhat tacky. SecureDNS exists, and TIS got export approval a while back to publish a "bones" version, minus encryption routines. John Gilmore and his lawyer decided that, since it only does authentication, not message encryption, it should be ok to publish _with_ the crypto algorithms, and it's been quietly sitting on his web pages. Recently the Feds sent him a letter saying "Oh, no, we didn't mean it was OK to publish/export this encryption-based authentication system just because the law says you can, so stop it".... Now they're paying for another version. Are they going to try something DSS-based instead of RSA, just so you don't need encryption-capable crypto with it, or is this going to be another scam? Or is it just different parts of the Feds not talking to each other?

It rings a bell and I used to know, but it's been around 15 years since I played with this kind of thing. It's just under the surface of my brain, but I just can't place it.

Predictions: Crime and Criminal Justice in the 21st Century
by User of DOOM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Predictions: Crime and Criminal Justice in the 21st Century 1. The United States will experience a significant economic recession/crisis very close to the turn of the Century. 2. As the large pool of young people born in the early 1990s become teenagers and young adults, there will be a dramatic increase in violent crime around the year 2005-2010. 3. America will experience sporadic civil disorders/riots in many of its urban areas during the next 10-15 years -- much of it related to racial/ethnic problems. 4. Terrorist acts by "fringe"/special issue groups will increase at a significant rate -- becoming a major law enforcement and security problem. 5. As faith in the criminal justice system declines, there will be a rise in vigilante-based incidents where citizens take the enforcement of crime problems into their own hands. 6. Much of middle- and upper-class America will take a "retreatist" attitude and move into private high-security communities located in suburban or rural areas. Because of technological advances, many companies and corporations will also move out of the urban environments as well. 7. Due to many of the predictions listed above, much of law enforcement and security in the 21st Century will become privatized and contractual. Traditional law enforcement agencies will primarily serve urban and rural communities. 8. Law enforcement will evolve into two major and divergent roles: traditional law enforcement and a more specialized military tactical role to deal with the growing urban violance and terrorist incidents. 9. Significant violence and unrest will plague our nation's prisons. Major prison riots will become a regular occurrence. 10. With the decrease of the possibility of major global warfare, the United States military will take on an increased domestic "peace-keeping" role with America's law enforcement agencies.

cryptography and encryption

Could I interchange them. I know that the latter is under the former, but I'm still confused. Hope you'll understand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some people they might say that I'm hard to get to know. I go my own sweet way, well that maybe so. Something about the crowd that makes me walk alone. I never had a need in me to be the party's life and soul.
