Itex Sues Over Yahoo! Postings Friday, September 4, 1998; 12:13 p.m. EDT PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- An investment firm is suing the people who posted online messages on a Yahoo! bulletin board accusing managers of incompetence, even though the firm has no idea whom to sue. Itex Corp. listed 100 ``John Does'' in its lawsuit filed this week in Multnomah County Circuit Court. In May, somebody using the name ``Orangemuscat'' declared on the Yahoo! online message board that Itex's ``current management is blind, stupid and incompetent.'' The lawsuit charges the author of the message with defaming the company and its president, undermining the confidence of Itex's investors, customers and barter exchange members. ``Orangemuscat,'' ``Investor727,'' ``colojopa'' and other names are listed as defendants ``presently unknown to plaintiffs but whose true identities will be included in amendments hereto when those identities are discovered.'' Donovan Snyder, an Itex lawyer, said it was necessary to sue in order to find the authors of the message, but he declined further comment. Itex, a barter exchange brokerage, had engaged in a bitter takeover struggle with a rival brokerage, and has faced questions from critics who challenge the way it values its assets. The company previously has turned to the courts to battle former employees and critics. Yahoo! disclaims all responsibility for the messages that are posted on its message boards. ``We have no way of knowing who some of the people are,'' said John Place, Yahoo's general counsel. Place said Yahoo's policy is to refuse to surrender any user information unless a court orders it to do so. But even under a court order, he said Yahoo! would have a hard time identifying users. The case is one of many that are pushing courts to define privacy rights on the Internet. ``I would not want to limit people's ability to post information online,'' said Lois Rosenbaum, a partner at the Portland law firm of Stoel Rives. ``But I would like to see some accountability for what they posted.'' Rosenbaum represented Beaverton-based Epitope in a 1993 case against a man who posted critical remarks about the company on a public bulletin board on the Prodigy online service. In that case, the comments turned out to be from a stockbroker with an interest in driving down the price of Epitope's shares. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- james 'keith' thomson <jkthomson(a)bigfoot.com> www.bigfoot.com/~ceildh jkthomson:C181 991A 405C EAFB 2C46 79B5 B1DC DB78 8196 122D [06.07.98] ceildh :1D79 59AF ED75 5945 6003 8240 DA34 ACCA 9DE4 6BC9 [05.14.98] ICQ:746241 <keys> at pgp.mit.edu ...and former sysop of tnbnog BBS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin." - Cardinal Bellarmine 1615, during the trial of Galileo =======================================================================

request for [cdn] export laws.

greetings, listmembers. I have been looking for the export restrictions (if any) that regulate canadian encryption products. I have tried searching the net for a little while, and although I have found a few (contradictory) blurbs on it, I have found no 'official' documents or links to them. does this information exist on the web, and if not, who would be the best department to ask so that I get the least red-tape or 'runaround'? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- james 'keith' thomson <jkthomson(a)bigfoot.com> www.bigfoot.com/~ceildh jkthomson:C181 991A 405C EAFB 2C46 79B5 B1DC DB78 8196 122D [06.07.98] ceildh :1D79 59AF ED75 5945 6003 8240 DA34 ACCA 9DE4 6BC9 [05.14.98] ICQ:746241 <keys> at pgp.mit.edu ...and former sysop of tnbnog BBS ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Microsoft's biggest and most dangerous contribution to the software industry may be the degree to which it has lowered user expectations." - Esther Schlindler, OS/2 Magazine =======================================================================

The real danger of key escrow type schemes lies in the future decryption under a different political and legal climate of half forgotten traffic going back years and years - stuff fetched from vast secret archives of potentially interesting encrypted messages squirelled away in the off chance that some time in the future "they" will be in possession of the key to some of it and interested in the contents. And until crypto is universally used for almost everything, saving the entirety of the 1-5% or so of email traffic that is encrypted on the presumption that it wouldn't have been encrypted if it wasn't important might be a good strategy, even if only a tiny fraction of those messages can ever be broken. And certainly saving all of the cipher email traffic from people identified by traffic analysis (group membership, corrospondance with suspicious or known bad-actor people or places, match to profiles profane and devine, etc) is really a no-brainer. The critical thing needed to protect against this chilling threat is email tools that provide perfect forward secrecy. PGP and the like do not, and capturing thus PGP messages in the hope that later on one has access to the private key is a very useful practice. DH key exchange has been around a long time, but so far the tentacles of the NSA have kept it from being a standard automatic part of sendmail, MS Exchange and qmail... Certainly one might want to enclose PGP or SMIME email messages inside the encrypted tunnel to protect privacy in storage and the "store" of store and forward mail routing, but having a secure transport tunnel in the first place forces the vacuum cleaner hose to be attached in quite different places where it is likely to be much more visible and noticed. And sure IPSEC would be nice, but simply making the ESMTP traffic between a short list of mail router programs opaque would certainly leverage a small effort with a large result whilst upgrading TCP/IP stacks and routers is a large effort... I've long heard that the NSA fills warehouses with high density tapes of cyphertext they can't break or don't want to spend the resources to break on the off chance that later on the key will be available or the information deemed truly important enough for cryptanalysis where possible. And sometimes (as in the Venona decrypts) this pays off... -- Dave Emery N1PRE, die(a)die.com DIE Consulting, Weston, Mass.
