Clearing Framework From: Pelle Braendgaard <pelle(a)neubia.com> To: dgcchat(a)lists.goldmoney.com Cc: Digital Bearer Settlement List <dbs(a)philodox.com>, DGCChat <dgcchat(a)lists.goldmoney.com>, xmlx <xml-api(a)intertrader.com> Date: 19 Sep 2002 00:05:39 -0500 I'm happy to announce the first public release of NeuDist NeuDist is an Open Source Software framework for building applications for the Neubia Distributed Clearing Platform. This release contains early java libraries and documentation that would primarily be of interest to developers. Talking about documentation, it is still a bit slim and mainly oriented towards people with experience in Java/XML development. There are currently no sample applications, but they will be available in the next release. The framework currently contains the following: - Classes for creating "Named Objects", which are authenticated using digital signatures within a hierarchy. - Storage framework for "Named Objects". - Simple XML-Signature implementation (Almost certainly not yet interoperable with other implementations) - Simple SOAP client - Simple Servlet API for handling SOAP requests based on "Named Objects". - Current types of "Named Objects" include: NameSpace objects -- for maintaining the NameSpace Authentication Framework AuthenticationTickets -- for doing web site authentication using digital signatures. Next major release is scheduled to contain: - Core: hard coded root public key, for authenticating top level NameSpaces - Signing Services: Implementation of web based signing services End user hosted signing service - Example User Authentication Application - Example Payment System based on NeuDist I will be expanding the documentation over the next few weeks. This will cover not only more indepth technical documentation, but also higher level documentation about the business side of things. Read more about NeuDist or download our early version at http://neudist.org I would love to hear your questions and suggestions.

ALERT: New CCOPS Poll -- your opinion needed
by JPFO Alerts 06 Jul '18

06 Jul '18

July 29, 2001 ALERT: New CCOPS Poll -- your opinion needed CCOPS: Concerned Citizens Opposed to Police States has a new poll with the following question: An Ohio man, a convicted child molester, has been sent to prison for seven years for writing fantasies of torturing children in his personal journal. By all accounts, these writings were repulsive. Should people be sent to prison for recording private thoughts in the privacy of their own home, when the activities described are illegal and/or violent, but there is no indication the person intended to act on them? You can vote yes or no. CCOPS has a new poll: "Thought Crime?" Express your opinion, go to: http://www.ccops.org/ and tell us YOUR opinion on this complex issue. NOTE: This poll will be up for 10 days. Give your opinion now and check back soon to view poll results and comments. ************************************************************************** Subscribe to Freematt's Alerts: Pro-Individual Rights Issues Send a blank message to: freematt(a)coil.com with the words subscribe FA on the subject line.

The reality is we won't have the Firefox APIs to actually prevent content load after certificate inspection any time soon, so it's not feasible to trust this as your only security measure. Monsterous hacks might make this possible sooner, though... On a timescale where we can provide real security rather than just analysis and post-pwnage notification, we can build multiple databases to submit to/query, just like Perspectives. There's also no real reason why you can't use both Perspectives and HTTPS-Everywhere. Then you can get both of our half-assed after-the-fact notifications that you were owned :) -- Mike Perry Mad Computer Scientist fscked.org evil labs _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk(a)lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
