/. [ACLU Joins Fight Against Internet Surveillance]

Link: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/12/02/1753208 Posted by: Zonk, on 2005-12-02 19:46:00 [1]aychamo writes "The American Civil Liberties Union today joined an expanding group of organizations filing [2]lawsuits against a new rule that increases the FBI's power to conduct surveillance on the Internet. The rule being challenged is one the Federal Communications Commission adopted in September, granting an FBI request to expand wiretapping authority to online communications.he ACLU charged in a petition to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that the ruling goes beyond the authority of CALEA, which specifically exempted information services. "The ACLU seeks review of the CALEA order on the grounds that it exceeds the FCC's statutory authority and is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, unsupported by substantial evidence, or otherwise contrary to law," the organization charged in its petition."

security modifications to current PCs
by Travis H. 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Hey, I've been reading through the TCPA documents and thinking a bit about changes that might give higher assurance to an ordinary PC, or at least a PC with only minor changes. Specifically, one of the things I've always been mulling over is a secure boot sequence. Basically, like the TCPA, I want a sequence where each stage decrypts and validates the next one so that a user doesn't have to worry about modifications to the bootup state. Basically, I've been thinking about rewriting the BIOS (perhaps with large portions in FORTH a la openfirmware*) such that instead of prompting the user for a password which is compared to a stored copy (that can be erased by removing the battery), it instead prompts the user for a passphrase that is used to decrypt and authenticate the MBR (boot block) and possibly the first-stage boot loader. The boot loader in turn decrypts and authenticates the kernel and any associated crud it needs (perhaps supporting the multiboot spec), and the kernel and crud are smart enough to decrypt and authenticate the root partition, and away we go. [*] http://www.openfirmware.org/ Similarly, I wouldn't mind seeing a PCI card or something that is designed for securely storing crypto keys (from DMA among other things) and performing crypto operations. These parts of the TCPA are okay. I don't see the need to curtain memory, as I'm comfortable with the "ring 0 can do anything" property. Additionally, it would be nice to have a "trusted path" to the OS, whereby a certain key sequence triggers a direct input path to a program, or the user is assured of what program he/she is talking to. http://www.dwheeler.com/secure-programs/Secure-Programs-HOWTO/trusted-path.… Is it possible to implement most block ciphers in FPGAs? It'd be nice to have a bus-mastering crypto co-processor device to do, say, disk encryption without requiring CPU help, but I want to be able to update it to new algorithms as new attacks against the cipher appear. I use some disk encryption stuff on a dual processor machine and it's still slow. The load climbs to 10 or 12 all too easily, then stuff becomes unresponsive (perhaps because swap is one of the things I'm encrypting). -- http://www.lightconsulting.com/~travis/ -><- "We already have enough fast, insecure systems." -- Schneier & Ferguson GPG fingerprint: 50A1 15C5 A9DE 23B9 ED98 C93E 38E9 204A 94C2 641B

Football Jocks don't like their English teacher
by Tyler Durden 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

Just goes to show how a Blacknet can be equated with illegal activity in our fascist climate: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10294412/ Surprise surprise. Two jocks wrote bad things about killing their english teacher, after having been told they should write something "private" that no one else should ever read. Is it not obvious that the jocks are being punished for thought crimes? Next thing you know they'll be carting me off to jail for dreaming about having sex with Pamela Anderson. -TD
