Just an FYI, Consensus Development (not Consensys) can only offer a commercial licenses to RSAREF. Some such licenses we can grant waivers to user lower-level routines -- to date we've granted waivers for SSL and PGP compatible software. >Conclusion: You can't use the RSA algorithm in free software.

The problem is that only RSA Labs (not RSA Data Security) can offer this permission (as they have all the non-commercial rights) and they are not set up to handle such requests. I'll see what I can do as the commercial licensee to influence making this happen. RSAREF was released "to support standards" and SSH is a beginning of a standard, so I think it should be possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ..Christopher Allen Consensus Development Corporation.. ..<ChristopherA(a)consensus.com> 1563 Solano Avenue #355.. ..

I thought of a method of exporting encryption code that doesn't require an export license, but better yet makes some _deserving_ soul a criminal. (In hindsight, it seems obvious, although I don't recall seeing it discussed.) Basically, you take advantage of the fact that on the Internet, incorrectly-addressed email is often/usually returned to what appears to be the sender. For example, send PGP source, split into appropriately-sized chumks, to somebody like bigshot(a)nsa.com. Mis-spell his name, of course, and forge the note so that it appears to be coming from some out-of-country address. His ISP's system's email software sees the bad address, "returns" it, and it's sent to that out-of-US location. Keep the messages as evidence; forward them to the appropriate prosecutor, who is stuck between a rock and a hard place: Either he prosecutes a "good guy," or he fails to prosecute an unauthorized encryption exporter and thus sets up a bad precedent.

Re: WWW proxies?
by Ryan Russell/SYBASE 17 Dec '03

We use CERN proxies, as well as general purpose proxies, which effectivly narrows it down to someone within my company. But, that only masks the IP address. My impression was that most browsers hand out enough info about you at the application layer that it does little good to mask the IP address. At least for privacy purposes...address translation is a great firewall model, IMHO.

The evidence is that she didn't rennounce it: if was >worthless to her she could easily do so. > She need not ever have even gotten a US passport. Additionally, she probably can't renounce her citizenship until she reaches majority. Also, if she is born with a fortune and the Clinton Exit Tax (which declares that renunciation of citizenship is a taxable event) is in place, she is out vast quantities of cash for nothing. The problem is the US tax system which tries to maintain an extra-territorial reach and encourages renunciation of citizenship. DCF

In some cases (such as my lone message, which was Cc'd to cypherpunks), they may be simply using a mail reader that doesn't allow retention of the threading reply header without sending it to the address of the original message.

Speaking of attorneys, is there any way that an attorney can serve as an anonymous mail forwarder? The user would give the attorney permission to look at anything suspicious (e.g., mail from a credit card company) to make sure no fraud, theft, et al were being committed.
