I think that would give you just about the most security you could expect from such a set-up.

Digital Telephones in Europe (at least)
by Michael＠lawprof.demon.co.uk 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I happened to be talking to a friend who works for a Very Large International Corporation. He has just been put in charge of managing their new products division. First on the list is whether and how to become a value added reseller of digital telephones and/or digital telephone services in Europe and evetually worldwide. They would probably include some financial/transactional services as part of the package. He is pro-encryption, but not well informed. What should he insist the telephones have in the way of features? What should he read? He is not an engineer (he used to be a salesman...) but he's smart. I will summarize emailed replies to the list. Please note that this ID expires on Dec. 27. -- Michael Froomkin until Dec. 27: michael(a)lawprof.demon.co.uk U.Miami School of Law Didsbury, Manchester, England PO Box 248087 Coral Gables, FL 33124-8087 It is NOT warm here

Kiwi cypherpunks & other things
by Tony.Gurnick＠nzdairy.co.nz 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

All, I am going on holiday for 3 weeks so will be unsubing from the list for a while. Can you email me directly about kiwi cpunks? and other stuff. A listserv @ cybernet would be a good thing. We could have our own NZ kiwi cypherpunks mailing list! Oh, what we would talk about! :) Oh, Thanks to all who helped me with the 2048 bit keys. I thought it was the 15-dec-94! Anyway I changed the source a bit so now I can generate 16384 bit keys. On the other hand trying to gen a 2048 bit key with this modified code just failed so maybe I`ll have to wait!!! (shiiit!) I cant set the clock on our machines. T

Why I do what I do.
by skaplin＠skypoint.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I had a very telling conversation with my wife today. I was working on some procmail stuff while she thought I should be doing something else. After about a ten minute diatribe, she said "I don't know why you spend all that time messing around with that crypto stuff. What point does it have?" I responded, "Do you remember when you were a little girl, and you told your best friend a secret?" She replied with a testy "YES." "All I'm trying to do is make sure our children will be able to do the same, because with all the developments lately this may not be possible." After about ten minutes of silence, I got a very soft "I understand." The reason I have brought this conversation up is to make a point. You can have the best technology around, but if people can't relate to the general concepts involved as it relates to them, the war is lost.

Re: anon-HTTP server w/o root access

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- someone writes: $ an anon-http proxy server would probably consume much more in $ the way of network resources than a remailer, which will $ likely lead to many being shutdown once discovered by the sysadmins That might be somewhat less true on a commercial provider than on an educational or corporate provider, but in any case a WWW anon-server would be seen as a much larger potential security hole than a remailer.

RE: Have 2.6.2 but cant gen 2048 bits

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Following is the output from pgp2.6.2 and me trying to generate >2048 bit keys. What am i doing rong? You'll probably get multiple answers for this. The code in PGP that allows you to enter 2048 bit keys isn't enabled until 12/25/94, so you need to set your clock ahead to try this (and don't forget to set it back--I spent three days sending people "Christmas" mail :) Also, though I'm not sure why, it seems that the generated keys are only 2047 bits in length. This was my experience, and has been reported in alt.security.pgp by a number of others as well. Expect about a 15-20 minute key generation time on a 486/66 PC. ======================================================================= Johnathan Corgan "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" jcorgan(a)netcom.com -Isaac Asimov PGP Public Key: http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html Or send email to: pgp-public-keys(a)pgp.ai.mit.edu Subj: GET jcorgan ======================================================================= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLvifok1Diok8GKihAQG7ggP/SNuz/n0njIuB2NQ7iIqPH3IWQ4dzOoP0 AlBTiq80CZjVAhTR80d8ckID36cKLRjRKq3kafKqzWoDfevL8UwxXbORIs0kyo6h qnQAg98qOOQMkSh8yxYHOfYL612VMKDMuBlXDSC4dNnItkmCwex780TnZRuq9Hc/ SmkiusdPEFQ= =GFPO -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
