Apology for mixup in press release mailing list
by Teemu Hukkanen 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Due to an unsuspected flaw, our mailing lists were slightly misconfigured which allowed replies to the original press release email to be forwarded to all recipients in the list. -- postmaster(a)datafellows.com

The Beeb speaks like a cypherpunk once removed...
by Robert Hettinga 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- There's some discussion on the BBC about that Chinese businessman who's now in the klink for "conspiring against the state using the internet" :-). The Beeb has an internet correspondent, and he's, right now, talking about strong crypto, anonymous remailers, and quoting Gilmore's censorship is damage line. All without using the words "strong cryptography", or "anonymous remailers", or "John Gilmore". :-). He was talking about how the Chinese website was hacked within hours and painted over with pro democracy stuff and links to Amnesty International, among other things. All of this was in a favorable, horse is out of the barn, this is good for freedom, light.

Wassenaar Statement
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

The Secretariat of The Wassenaar Arrangement has issued brief public docs on the recent meeting: http://jya.com/wa-state98.htm Only one brief mention of encryption: "8. The WA agreed control list amendments to take into account recent technological developments. The amendments to the lists included elimination of coverage of commonly available civil telecommunications equipment as well as the modernisation of encryption controls to keep pace with developing technology and electronic commerce, while also being mindful of security interests. Participating States also discussed the potential need for the WA and national export control authorities to respond quickly and effectively to the emergence of new technologies." Which appears to confirm that each state will implement and announce its encryption policy as it sees fit. The US has jumped to proclaim to its constituencies that it has won. Though it's the secret agreements that remain to be publicized. Note the gaps in the public docs and dissimulative assurances. We also offer a recent related message from Denmark on its fluid crypto policy: http://jya.com/dk-crypto98.htm
