Digital Wiretap Delayed
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We offer John Markoff's report today on the FCC decision to delay implementation of the FBI's digital wiretap requirements under CALEA, along with the text of the decision: http://jya.com/calea-delay.htm (93K) The decision has a good review of the technical issues, and explains why telco appeals of the requirements justified the postponement. CTIA posted here a notice of this on Friday.

Why yes, yes you do. Don't you recognize the black robe, the scythe, the bony hand, the less-than-cheerful disposition? See if you can figure it out. And please hold still for a moment. Let me just wind up here with this thing....

[NYT] FCC Extends CALEA Deadline
by bill.stewart＠pobox.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

>From the New Yawk Times, probably Friday or Saturday: WIRETAP DELAYED [New York Times, C14.] In a setback for the F.B.I., the Federal Communications Commission has given the telecommunications industry an additional 20 months to comply with a Federal law meant to bring law-enforcement surveillance into the digital age. But in extending the deadline the commission deferred action on some of the most disputed facets of the issue, which has pitted law-enforcement officials against telephone-equipment manufacturers, network-service providers and privacy-rights advocates. The Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act was intended to address complaints by the F.B.I. and local law-enforcement agencies that were rapidly losing their ability to conduct wiretaps and other forms of electronic surveillance in the face of modern digital and wireless communications networks. But industry groups had long warned that they would be unable to meet the approaching deadline for complying with the law by installing the software and hardware that would allow for court-authorized surveillance on modern networks. The F.C.C. extended the deadline to June 30, 2000. "This ruling is really a prelude to the privacy fight," said James X. Dempsey, a telecommunications expert. "For now the commission has given itself and the industry some breathing room. They've said, 'Don't rush into these additional surveillance areas.'" The decision came in response to a request for a deadline extension that was filed in March in a joint petition by AT&T Wireless Services, Lucent Technologies and Ericsson.

emission test, Black and White Test of Cryptographic Algorithms, & settlement
by bill payne 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Monday 9/14/98 2:33 PM Don When I drove back from Pullman in about 9/96 I realized the valve seals were leaking in my VW Rabbit. Blue smoke coming out the exhaust pipe. Passing the low speed carbon monoxide test is the hardest. On 09/06/96 the emission test showed Standard Current Reading Result 1.20 2.88 FAIL You showed me your tool to change seals. But I needed to work on other projects. After spending about $400 to get the seals replaced, I got another test on 09/10/96 Standard Current Reading Result 1.20 1.31 FAIL In DESPERATION I used Berrymans B-12, changed oil, etc and REMOVED THE AIR FILTER for the test on 09/11/96 Standard Current Reading Result 1.20 1.19 PASS Talk about squeaking by! If your vehicle continues to FAIL emissions test, your life will be made extremely disrupted by the VEHICLE POLLUTION MANAGEMENT DIVISION. The Rabbit had its 1998 emission test due in September 1998. I was totally prepared for failure. I ordered about $500 in parts from JC Whitney in preparation for a DISRUPTIVE engine rebuild. And, of course, I ordered for the fun of it the NAFTA [Mexico] exhaust headers. I could not wait to see the effect of exhaust headers on performance, so I installed them immediately. WOW! I estimate about a 20-30% performance improvement. Rpms up the ying-yang. Patty kept putting the 1998 emissions notice on my dinner plate. On Saturday I took a FAST ride to Oro Guay peak and hiked. I took a FAST return trip. I drove into EXPRESS EMISSION operated by Dung Nguyen. I wanted to see how badly my grey rabbit, R2, would fail. R2 is how the grey rabbit is denoted in my repair log. I couldnt stand to personally watch R2 fail, so I went outside while it was tested. On my return the two operators were smiling both and had their thumbs pointed up! R2 PASSED!!!! Standard Current Reading Result 1.20 00.13 PASS !Viva NAFTA exhaust headers! ANOTHER disruption out of the way so that I can concentrate on completing the digital FX! My HUGE FEAR what that I would have to spend time getting R2 into shape to POSSIBLY PASS the emissions test. TRYING to get a car which failed the emissions test is a nightmare! Sandia colleague Ron Pate had to have a rebuilt engine installed in his bronco so that it would pass. Black and White Test of Cryptographic Algorithms, by William H. Payne advertised at http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ / and presented at http://zolatimes.com will hopefully AID in getting my other distraction settled. Then, too, of course, are the JUSTIFIABLY upset MUSLIMS who are reading my zolatimes article. Sandia president C. Paul Robinson observed at http://www.jya.com/its-us.htm wrote A quick walk around the globe: other emerging threat nations ... What is perhaps most frightening is the apparent increase in the flow of technology, hardware, and a "barter system" in dangerous materials. We must understand "What are their motives?" Simple, in one case. Settlement. WE WANT OUR MONEY! This is on Internet at http://www.jya.com/crypto.htm DoE: Pay Bill Payne Thought about you guys at the fun Metriguard Monday corporate lunch. The Acer scsi Scan Prisa I ordered just arrived by UPS. Now I can scan in my schematics. And bash the Great Satan EVEN HARDER. But let's all hope for settlement before matters get WORSE. Later bill
