KRAP is at it in the IETF
by William H. Geiger III 17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello, It has come to my attention that the KRAP (key recovery alliance program) has submitted an I-D (internet draft) to the IETF for adding GAK (government access to keys) to the IPSEC protocols: ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rfced-exp-markham-00.txt ISAKMP Key Recovery Extensions <draft-rfced-exp-markham-00.txt> 7.

Below are the e-mail addresses of some people that you should write (politely) expressing your objections to any such additions to the protocols: IPSEC Chairs: Theodore Ts'o <tytso(a)mit.edu> Robert Moskowitz <rgm(a)icsa.net> Security Area Directors: Jeffrey Schiller <jis(a)mit.edu> Marcus Leech <mlecch(a)nortel.ca> As I mentioned before, be polite. These people are not the ones proposing GAK be added to the IPSEC protocols. They have put a lot of time and effort in forwarding the cause for strong encryption. They should be made aware of the communities objections to these attempts by KRAP. Thanks, - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

digital sig bill

------- Forwarded Message To: believer(a)telepath.com From: believer(a)telepath.com Subject: IP: About Digital Signature Bill 09/05/98 0752 Source: US Newswire http://www.usnewswire.com/topnews/Current_Releases/0904-138.txt Abraham Urges Senate to Pass Digital Signature Bill U.S. Newswire 4 Sep 17:30 Abraham Urges Senate to Pass Digital Signature Bill Next Week To: National Desk Contact: Joe McMonigle of the Office of U.S. Sen. Spencer Abraham, 202-224-8833 WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 /U.S. Newswire/ -- While President Clinton used a visit in Ireland today to digitally sign an electronic commerce agreement with Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern on a laptop computer, U.S. Sen. Spencer Abraham (R-Mich.) urged his colleagues in the Senate to pass his legislation requiring federal agencies to start allowing the public to do the same. S.2107, the Government Paperwork Elimination Act, would require federal agencies to make versions of their forms available online and allow people to submit these forms with digital signatures instead of handwritten ones. It also sets up a process by which commercially developed digital signatures can be used in submitting forms to the government and permits the digital storage of federal documents. "If it's okay for President Clinton and Prime Minister Ahern, it should also be okay for the federal government to recognize the digital signature of ordinary Americans," Abraham said. "This legislation will bring the federal government into the electronic age, in the process saving American individuals and companies millions of dollars and hundreds of hours currently wasted on government paperwork," Abraham said. "Each and every year, Americans spend in excess of $600 billion simply filing out, documenting and handling government paperwork. This huge loss of time and money constitutes a significant drain on our economy and we must bring it under control." "By providing individuals and companies with the option of electronic filing and storage, this bill will reduce the paperwork burden imposed by government on the American people and the American economy. It will allow people to move from printed forms they must fill out using typewriters or handwriting to digitally-based forms that can be filled out using a word processor. This savings in time, storage and postage will be enormous," said Abraham. The Government Paperwork Elimination Act would: -- Require the federal government make available its forms online and allow citizens to sign forms by the use of digital signatures. -- Direct the Commerce Department to conduct a study of the impact of this Act on the use of digital signatures for electronic commerce and on individual privacy. -- Allow Executive Agencies 18 months to establish a method for agencies to put forms online. The forms must be able to be filled out, signed and filed with the agency electronically. -- Work to develop a system whereby fees and payments associated with the forms can also be submitted at the same time. For example, a citizen could use their tax software to create all the information necessary for filling out their tax forms, fill in the IRS online form, submit it and any indicated payments, and immediately receive a tax receipt. -- Enable the federal government to allow its employees to have digital signatures for use with citizens and allow agencies to use electronic notice where written notice had been required, if the citizen prefers electronic notice. -- Establish that a digital signature will have legal standing. -- Provide that Administration guidelines and procedures for electronic signatures that are used for the government forms that are compatible with those the private sector will be using for commerce, and specifies that any system used by the government must be industry and technology neutral. -- State that if an employer is required to collect, file and store paper forms that are completed by employees, that electronic storage will likely be accepted. -- Allow the government five years to implement these provisions. "The information age is no longer new. We are in the midst of a revolution in the way people do business and maintain records. The Government Paperwork Elimination Act will force Washington to catch up with these developments, and release our businesses from the drag of an obsolete bureaucracy as they pursue further innovations," said Abraham. Co-sponsors of the Paperwork Elimination Act include Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), Jack Reed (D-R.I.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Trent Lott (R-Miss.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), and Conrad Burns (R-Mont.) -0- /U.S. Newswire 202-347-2770/ 09/04 17:30 Copyright 1998, U.S. Newswire - ----------------------- NOTE: In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without profit or payment to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this information for non-profit research and educational purposes only.

Re: Snakes of Medusa torment Larry Detweiler

hi timmy. we have reached a breakthrough in your psychotherapy in which you actually address me directly <g> you completely gloss over my point about Linux, because it demonstrates my arguments very well. those who work on Linux are very similar to cpunks. distributed all over the world, and they are united by a common desire/vision and mailing lists. you have an unexpressed hatred of some aspects of hacking, of course, so you find linux repulsive and incomprehensible. this list has always lacked vision, by *anyone*. a group is united by a vision. if you have no vision, you have nothing but a bunch of anarchists who cannot accomplish anything substantial together. want proof? how about the history of the last few years of mounting irrelevance of this list? what you get is miniature projects that may succeed or fail, and if they succeed, an implication is carried that they are "cpunk" projects. there are obviously no cpunk projects. and that's the weakness of this so-called "group". any time such a project is proposed by anyone, self-righteous anarchists such as yourself shoot it down. ok, mount one of your lame arguments that "this is only a mailing list. there are no projects". again, precisely. you want more out of this list, or less? every time I tell you how to get more, you say you want less. every time you complain you get less, I tell you how to get more. sure, let's have an immature debate society. we've had that for what, ~6 years or so? the time flies when you're having fun <g> aren't you somewhat ashamed that the recent EFF crack had *nothing* to do with anyone on this list? frankly, I think it's pretty lame. imagine the way a mailing list can help mobilize support and resources. we've seen glimpes in the past of this. instead Gilmore did it entirely behind the scenes, never announcing it to this list, because clearly no one here has the maturity to cooperate to complete a meaningful project. there are only complaints, as lead by the Lead Sniper. (wow, that's a funny term, with lots of implications, I think I might start using it more often!!!) btw, killed any cats lately?? a huge waste of talent, if you ask me, and the main reason that you have such a high turnover/attrition on this list. ever asked yourself why there is so much turnover/attrition here? but we're not going to get very far, with you conveniently deleting my key points as usual. stick your head in the digital /dev/null some more. see no VZN, hear no VZN, speak no VZN. truly your philosophy...!!! "eletrocracy"? I have no idea what you're talking about. whatever it is, it does sound pretty infantile!!! a useful straw man, I suppose. maybe if you elaborated it might refresh my memory <g>
