Digital signature legislation tutorial posted
by pgut001＠cs.auckland.ac.nz 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

I've recently revamped part 2 of my Godzilla security tutorial, splitting off the coverage of digital signature legislation and related issues into its own section. Part2a, consisting of a total of 79 slides, covers the question of why we need digital signature legislation, what is a signature, paper vs.electronic signatures, non-repudiation, trust, and liability, existing approaches, examples of existing legislation of various types including advantages and drawbacks, and the Digital Signature Law litmus test (and it also explains why having a techie comment on legal issues isn't as silly as it sounds :-). It's available as part 2a of the Godzilla tutorial at http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/tutorial/index.html. Comments welcome Peter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com

hi, I had suggested the same for an encryption product called digisecret,this is what they had to say. >Here is an example where hiding cipher text in cipher text is ideal.. DigiSecret currently does not use assymmetric algorithms. Besides this the introduction of this technique will mean that the secret police will also know about this fact, so the person's harrowing experience with the secret police will just be doubled: first they will obtain the fake password and then the real one. Also it would not be hard to track it on the algorithm diciphering level and to understand that the message is not real.

Urgent Letter from Zimbabwe
by Dr.Wilfred Mboyo 21 Nov '02

21 Nov '02

Sir, URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP Firstly, I have to introduce myself to you. My name is Dr Wilfred Mboyo from Zimbabwe. I was the chairman of contract review panel in my country before the problem of the land reform program. Before the escalation of the situation in Zimbabwe I recovered $16.8Million US dollars from over inflated contracts by some government officials. But I was a member of the opposition party the MDC(Movement for Democratic Change), and the ruling Party, (ZANU PF) has been against us. So I had to flee the country for a neighbouring African Country which I am currently residing. Before the escalation of the situation in Zimbabwe I had not reported The recovery of my findings to the panel. So this money was in my possession and I lodged it in a security company here in Africa and currently this money has been moved to their security branch in Europe. I have been trying to fly to Europe but it has been difficult for me to get a visa from Africa. So I want you to help me make claims of this fund($16.8m) in Europe as my beneficiary and transfer the money to your account or any account of your choice before I can get a visa to fly down. So that we can share this money. I have agreed to give you 10%,which would be ($1.6Million dollars) of this Money for your assistance, and 85% would be mine and the other 5% would be set aside for any expenses that we may incure during the course of this transaction. And my 85% would be invested in your country in any profitable business propossed by you. We have never met, but I want to trust you and please do not let me down when this fund finally gets into your account. Please if you are interested, get to me through the email address below to enable me feed you with more details and all necessary documentations. Please treat this as confidential. ( mboyo2000(a)post.com or mboyo2001(a)email.com ) Regards, Dr.Wilfred Mboyo NOTE: In the event of your inability to handle this transaction please inform me so that i can look for another reliable person who can assist me.

> And depending on the situation, the key-holder will decide > whether to give > them a key that destroys the real data, or that doesn't (and > hides it). Don't even bother trying to destroy the original. Chances are they will make a backup of everything before attempting anything. And destroying something is likely to be very obvious, and very damning. Best bet is to hide a second thing, which is kind of incriminating, but not much. And hide it less well that the real thing. People who think they understood the trick won't look any further, because they think they understood it. So, be sure to wail and complain when they discover the fake data, and not bear a knowing smile :) -- Vincent Penquerc'h

Not possible in the real world - you will only be reading from the message to create the "decoded" image, not overwriting it (under any circumstances) if the system required a overwritable message, then it both wouldn't work with most email software, and would be presented with a *copy* of the email by any attacker anyhow. Replaying and/or re-downloading email is trivial. Systems such as Disappearing Inc are good examples of this sort of snakeoil though - attempts to make email "expire" that can be broken by replacing the official executable with one that caches the keys.
