I strongly agree with you. While the motivation that lead to the development of such processors stems probably from the desire to thwart software piracy, it will make implementation of the "Internet Driver License" that much easier. [For those new to Cypherpunks, I consider the requirement for an Internet Driver License as inevitable as the sun raising tomorrow morning. While the event is technically in the future, it will occur with a certainty that it may just as well have already happened in the past. Read the graphic novel "Watchmen" if you don't understand what I am talking about. Sure, there is a small but no-zero probability that the Earth will be vaporized before sunrise by a timebomb left by aliens 3.5 million years ago. That's why I wrote "as inevitable", as opposed to "inevitable".] Smartcard readers and processors with encrypted instruction sets are just a first step to the ultimate goal, requiring biometric authentication to the applications on your machine. Some will claim they won't use such machines and stick to their old Pentium Pro's. I just threw out an old 286, because I couldn't find a single person that wanted it for free. Your 200 MHz Pentium Pro will be just as useful as that old 286 a few years hence. Sure, it will still operate and you can even run some old programs on it. But it simply will be unsuitable as your primary machine. Instead, you will find yourself using a box that runs code you can't possible figure out what it does and requires biometric authentication for login.

The Wassenaar Arrangment
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Thanks to Greg Broiles's FOIA effort and Lucky Green, we offer the first US public release of: The Wassenaar Arrangement - List of Dual Use-Goods and Technologies and Munitions List, July 1996 http://jya.com/wa/watoc.htm This is the 200-page document Greg previously announced here which lists in minute detail the wide range of goods and technologies to be restricted by arms and trade export controls. The Wassenaar Arrangement succeeds COCOM as the arms control regime signed by 33 nations. Cryptography is covered in Category 5 - Part 2: http://jya.com/wa/wacat52.htm Which may be compared to the Australian version: http://jya.com/aucat_5.htm

Crypto Policy Paper
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We offer a paper distributed at the recent NYC crypto forum, "Private Groups and Public Policy: Cryptography and the National Research Council," by Kenneth Dam, professor of law at the University of Chicago, a panelist at the forum, and chair of the NRC panel which produced the report "Cryptography's Role in Securing the Information Society," May, 1996. http://jya.com/damrole.htm (63K) Professor Dam recounts the impact of the NRC report on the Administration's encryption policy as an example of how private groups help shape public policy.

Forwarded message: > From: "William H. Geiger III" <whgiii(a)amaranth.com> > Date: Sun, 25 May 97 11:05:39 -0500 > Subject: SSZ Lag Test > Timing responces from SSZ should probably be averaged about 8-10 times a day for about a week to get a good idea of what to expect. The majority of the time the system is not heavily using the ISDN nor are many users logged in. However, two of my users transmit large blocks of data (one is video and the other is a web-spider) w/o warning and make a significant impact. We also tend to have very spikey web access.
