ECHELON SYSTEM
by Ric V. Carvalho 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Thought you all might be interested in seeing this. -R http://www.villagevoice.com/ink/news/33vest.shtml Listening In Suppose, this past weekend, you sent an e-mail to a friend overseas.=20 There's a reasonable possibility your communication was intercepted by a global surveillance system--especially if you happened to discuss last week's bombings in East Africa.=20 Or suppose you're stuck in traffic and in your road rage you whip out a cell phone and angrily call your congressman's office in Washington.=20 There's a chance the government is listening in on that conversation, too (but only for the purposes of "training" new eavesdroppers).=20 Or suppose you're on a foreign trip--vacation, business, relief work--and you send off a fax to some folks that Washington doesn't view too keenly. Your message could be taken down and analyzed by the very same system.=20 That system is called ECHELON and it is controlled by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). In America, it is the Intelligence Network That Dare Not Be Acknowledged. Questions about it at Defense Department briefings are deftly deflected. Requests for information about it under the Freedom of Information Act linger in bureaucratic limbo. Researchers who mention possible uses of it in the presence of intelligence officials are castigated. Members of Congress--theoretically, the people's representatives who provide oversight of the intelligence community--betray no interest in helping anyone find out anything about it. Media outlets (save the award-winning but low-circulation Covert Action Quarterly) ignore it. In the official view of the U.S.=20 Government, it doesn't exist.=20 But according to current and former intelligence officials, espionage scholars, Australian and British investigative reporters, and a dogged Ne= w Zealand researcher, it is all too real. Indeed, a soon-to-be finalized European Parliament report on ECHELON has created quite a stir on the other side of the Atlantic. The report's revelations are so serious that it strongly recommends an intensive investigation of NSA operations.=20 The facts drawn out by these sources reveal ECHELON as a powerful electronic net--a net that snags from the millions of phone, fax, and modem signals traversing the globe at any moment selected communications of interest to a five-nation intelligence alliance. Once intercepted (based on the use of key words in exchanges), those communiqu=E9s are sen= t in real time to a central computer system run by the NSA; round-the-clock shifts of American, British, Australian, Canadian, and New Zealand analysts pour over them in search of . . . what?=20 Originally a Cold War tool aimed at the Soviets, ECHELON has been redirected at civilian targetsworldwide. In fact, as the European Parliament report noted, political advocacy groups like Amnesty International and Greenpeace were amongst ECHELON's targets. The system's awesome potential (and potential for abuse) has spurred some traditional watchdogs to delve deep in search of its secrets, and even prompted some of its minders within the intelligence community to come forward. "In som= e ways," says Reg Whittaker, a professor and intelligence scholar at Canada's York University, "it's probably the most useful means of getting at the Cold War intelligence-sharing relationship that still continues."=20 While the Central Intelligence Agency--responsible for covert operations and human-gathered intelligence, or HUMINT--is the spy agency most people think of, the NSA is, in many respects, the more powerful and important o= f the U.S. intelligence organizations. Though its most egregious excesses of 20 years ago are believed to have been curbed, in addition to monitoring all foreign communications, it still has the legal authority t= o intercept any communication that begins or ends in the U.S., as well as use American citizens' private communications as fodder for trainee spies. Charged with the gathering of signals intelligence, or SIGINT--which encompasses all electronic communications transmissions--the NSA is larger, better funded, and infinitely more secretive than the CIA. Indeed= , the key document that articulates its international role has never seen the light of day.=20 That document, known as the UKUSA Agreement, forged an alliance in 1948 among five countries--the U.S., Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand--to geographically divvy up SIGINT-gathering responsibilities, with the U.S. as director and main underwriter. Like the NSA--hardly know= n until the Pike and Church congressional investigations of the '70s--the other four countries' SIGINT agencies remain largely unknown and practically free of public oversight. While other member nations conduct their own operations, there has "never been any misunderstanding that we're NSA subsidiaries," according to Mike Frost, an ex-officer in Canada's SIGINT service, the Communications Security Establishment (CSE).= =20 Moreover, all the signatory countries have NSA listening posts within their borders that operate with little or no input from the local agency.= =20 [snip... please see URL for rest of article.] -o- Subscribe: mail majordomo(a)sekurity.org with "subscribe isn".

Announcement: New Twofish Results
by Bruce Schneier 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Results Announcement: N. Ferguson, , "Upper Bounds on Differential Characteristics in Twofish," Twofish Technical Report #1, Counterpane Systems, Aug 1998. Abstract: In our initial paper the Twofish block cipher was introduced, and initial estimates of an upper bounds on the probability of a 12-round differential were given. These results used an imperfect model of Twofish. We present an improved model, and show that any 12-round differential characteristic has a probability of at most $2^{-102.8}$. This paper is available at http://www.counterpane.com/twofish.html, and will be made available at the AES Workshop next week.

Private Doorbell - Re: CRYPTO-GRAM, August 15, 1998
by Bill Stewart 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Bruce Schneier wrote in his newsletter > It seems that every few months we get key-escrow repackaged with a new name. > The latest new name is "Private Doorbell," and the spin is that the keys > are escrowed in the routers. Other than the name, there's really > no difference between this and other key escrow schemes: Based on the talk by Elizabeth Kaufman from Cisco at the Bay Area Cypherpunks meeting, I'd say you're wrong. (I'm pleasantly surprised; this is the first "compromise" I haven't rabidly disliked.) (Elizabeth says not to blame her for the name, it's Cisco's PR folks' fault.) The Private Doorbells proposal says that routers that encrypt have a clear side and a black side, and if you want to wiretap them, you can already wiretap the clear side, so Louis Freeh should be happy enough (since it meets the "legitimate needs of law enforcement", even though it the blocks no-warrant no-knock wiretaps he'd really like) so just give us the export permits we want and stay off our backs. There's no special key escrow in the routers, it's just doing what encrypting routers do already, and if Big Louie wants to wiretap an ISP today, he can try to get a warrant and then do it. It seems to me that there's a minor catch - routers with multiple private-line encrypted interfaces can decrypt and encrypt traffic without ever hauling it through an Ethernet where it'd be easy to tap, but most of those configurations still have an Ethernet somewhere, and any Bad Guy who's doing encryption at the endpoints ought to be using end-to-end encryption anyway.

Re: European freedoms...

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- America is the only country that requires me to be anally violated by one of their official queens as a condition of entry into a country I'm a citizen of. In my view, Americans were fooled into trading their freedom for a piece of paper that everyone roundly ignores. Namely, the Bill of Rights. We should've known America was not a free country when they kept repeating that it was all the time. America is actually a land of intolerant, bigoted people who can't wait to kill their neighbors. While all the time proclaiming themselves to be the most moral and free people in the universe. Don't bother suggesting that I 'Love it or Leave It'. I already have.

"legitimate" in our present context means to "counter things that are presently illegal", notwithstanding that an immense portion of the population, which in essence does not try to get a free ride from some sort of law, do not agree at all with the said law. Somehow, I think that it is time to emphasize our taking of the moral high ground. Ciao jfa Definition: FACISM: n.: a political and economic movement, strongly nationalistic, magnifying the rights of the state as opposed to those of the individual, in which industry, though remaining largely under private ownership, and all administrative political units, are controlled by a strong central government. ------------------------------------------------- "One of the ordinary modes by which tyrants accomplish their purpose, without resistance, is by disarming the people and making it an offense to keep arms". - Joseph Story, U.S. Supreme Court Justice. ------------------------------------------------- the German gun control laws were enacted by the "liberal" Weimar Republic government that preceded Hitler, and were a strong aid to his coming to power -- because they disarmed Hitler's opponents, and Hitler's adherents ignored them -- as criminals have always ignored gun control laws. Disarming the public is a frequent first step toward dictatorships and genocides. Once the disarming is complete, the public is helpless against those who have the guns. ------------------------------------------------- PGP keys: http://bs.mit.edu:8001/pks-toplev.html PGP ID:C58ADD0D:529645E8205A8A5E F87CC86FAEFEF891 PGP ID:5B51964D:152ACCBCD4A481B0 254011193237822C Jean-Francois Avon, B.Sc.
