Timed Released Crypto
by Karl Lui Barrus 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

(been absent from the list for a long time since Rice disabled remote dialups AGAIN) I see there was a question on how to encrypt something to be read in the future. Several months ago Tim May sent a post covering this very topic - "Timed Released Crypto", which is at the gopher site chaos.bsu.edu in the Protocols directory. The archive is now a menu item from the top level directory which is called something like "Cypherpunks Gopher Archive" I just mention this since I don't see any followups which mention this. But then I have very few messages from the list given I haven't been able to check mail in a week and a half. -- Karl L.

Clipper on C-Span/CNN 6/15
by Dave Banisar 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I just heard that Rep. Jack Brooks, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and one of the authors of the Computer Security Act of 1987 is planning to make a floor statement on Clipper tomorrow morning. Rep. Brooks has been a long-time critic of government encryption policy. The floor statement should be carried on C-Span. Also, Vice President Gore, Andy Grove from Intel and Vic Sussman of US News and World Report will be on the Larry King Show tomorrow at 9pm EST to discuss the "Information Infrastructure." Clipper will most likely be one of the topics, especially if some of the calls ask some hard questions of the Vice-President. Dave Banisar Electronic Privacy Information Center

HR 3627: The day after?
by Michael Handler 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

So: if we get HR 3627 out of the House Select Committee on Intelligence intact, what's the next step? If the resolution passes the House, does there have to be a Senate debate as well? And, of course, will there be a live broadcast of the vote on CNN so we can watch it like we did with NAFTA? ;-) -- Michael Brandt Handler <grendel(a)netaxs.com> Philadelphia, PA PGP v2.6 public key on request WARNING: I have built the first quantum computer, and I am factoring your public key at the speed of light as you read this.

My week-old 'who' shows 450; yesterday's shows 180.

The folks in Waco hadn't committed any great crime, and would have continued in their secluded existence for quite some time had the ATF not seen fit to provide a catalyst. I suppose that cyberspace, with its potential anonymity and privacy, would be the stuff ATF nightmares are made of..
