Interesting KPMG report on DRM
by pgut001＠cs.auckland.ac.nz 06 Oct '02

KPMG have a report "The Digital Challenge: Are You Prepared?" available at http://www.kpmg.com/news/index.asp?cid=660 in which they surveyed execs at media companies and conclude that they're focusing too much on (trying to) lock up content using encryption rather than how to do something useful with it: Digital content is getting a lot of attention - but not at the board level, where it is urgently needed. As a recent KPMG survey of top executives shows, media companies are focusing too much on encryption and other defensive technologies while failing to develop proactive strategies that recognize and leverage their online intellectual property assets. [...] But the industry.s efforts to grapple with losses on this scale by locking away content behind multiple layers of protection - whether encryption, copyright protection, or authentication - have tended to detract from the user experience while failing to deliver the hoped-for revenue streams. Indeed, for all the publicity, expert attention, and corporate ingenuity devoted to digital piracy, it is striking that global content companies have not yet been able to find a working solution. This white paper, organized around a survey conducted for KPMG by The Economist Intelligence Unit, takes the industry.s pulse on The bottom line is that media companies need to shift their focus from a circle-the-wagons defense of digital intellectual property to innovative strategies for managing online content as a core revenue source. To achieve this shift, digital intellectual property needs to be valued properly, just like other assets on the balance sheet. Also, its protection needs to be treated as a key issue of corporate governance and given sustained and dedicated board- level attention. It is clear from the survey that media executives are trying to remain optimistic about the potential of digital content - but securing intellectual property rights is an uphill battle. In the quest for the right mix of measures to fight piracy, executives are relying heavily on encryption as well as reactive steps to police and punish violators. At the same time, however, many companies fail to conduct systematic accounting for their digital assets, or to pursue more proactive strategies to build new revenue streams from their online content. [...] Media companies have so far failed to pioneer new business models that would rob piracy of its appeal. Preoccupied with defending the barricades against pirates, the industry has shown a deficit of creativity and innovation in rolling out products and services that can compete with the pirates. This was clear in KPMG.s survey, where only a handful of respondents saw offering potential abusers the chance to distribute content legally as a way of protecting digital intellectual property. In addition, the content industry remains hostage to its own strict interpretations of copyright laws and definitions of intellectual property. Most leading media organizations have their roots in traditional media formats - they still consider every bit of content they produce to be subject to copyright and they defend it - tooth and nail. However, today.s Internet world conflicts with this business model, as consumers expect more fluid boundaries and demand a free flow of information. Good stuff, read the whole thing at http://www.kpmg.com/news/index.asp?cid=660.

Interesting Hawala Article
by Bill Stewart 05 Oct '02

05 Oct '02

http://www.interpol.int/Public/FinancialCrime/MoneyLaundering/hawala/defaul… Interpol has an interesting article on Hawala. It's written from a US-centric perspective, which unfortunately includes asymmetry in the transactions, so they miss out on the importance of net settlement in making correspondent banking systems work, and it does look at hawala as somewhat of a quaint leftover from before modern banking systems, rather than understanding that the roots of European banking systems were the same thing. And of course, since it's written by Interpol as opposed to a newspaper or a college economics professor, its real interest is use in criminal transactions. But it does give a good picture of part of the hawala system, some cultural flavor, and some reasons that hawala is popular - flexibility, speed, lower costs than official banks, arbitrage around official exchange rates, and avoidance of regulations that inhibit transactions. It's a worthwhile read.

Net Security Interview with Jon Callas
by R. A. Hettinga 05 Oct '02

05 Oct '02

Net Security http://www.net-security.org/article.php?id=195 Interview with Jon Callas by Berislav Kucan Jon Callas is an innovator and an acknowledged expert in all major aspects of contemporary business security, including cryptography, operating system security, public key infrastructure, and intellectual property rights. For how long have you been involved in the development of PGP? I joined PGP, Inc. in January 1997. I was Chief Scientist there. When NAI bought PGP in December 1997, I became CTO at NAI, and stayed there until April 1999. I am one of the co-founders of the new PGP Corporation. I am the principal author of The IETF OpenPGP standard, which is presently RFC2440, and have been doing that since mid '97. What were your thoughts after Network Associates stopped selling PGP products this March? Oh, I was incredulous! I'm a Mac OS X user and had been on the beta list for it in October. I kept waiting for them to find someone for it, myself. When and with what plans was PGP Corporation started? Phil Dunkelberger and I ran into each other at last year's RSA conference, and started talking about a new security startup. We came up with some ideas on how to make message security much simpler to use. We then started working with Will Price, who had then recently left Network Associates after the PGP cancellation. He had his own ideas that meshed in with our ideas, and that led to us deciding that PGP would fit in well with our combined plans. What products were bought from Network Associates? We bought all products from Network Associates, including ones that are in progress except for the Windows VPN and firewall, and the command line versions. Network Associates still sells the command line PGP under the name McAfee eBusiness Server. We are under an eighteen-month non-compete for the command line PGP, so it is theirs for that time. Our products include the traditional PGP for Windows and Macintosh, the Palm and WinCE products, the PGP key server, and so on. What's your opinion on open source? I think if you buy a software product, especially one that is a security-related product, you should be able to know how it works. You should be able to see that it doesn't have horrid flaws in it, by accident or design. We haven't quite worked out the details of PGP's open source license, but here are the goals I have, pending language: If you have a legally obtained copy of PGP, then you read, compile, modify, hack, etc. the source for that type of PGP you have, for your own purposes and not for redistribution. What I mean by this is that if you have PGP freeware (which you are using for non-commercial use), then you may do all those things with PGP freeware. If you bought a copy of the retail product, then you may do those things with the retail product or the freeware product. This isn't quite the same as what some other open source people believe constitutes "open source," but our philosophy on source is completely in line with the principles that the FSF and LPF were founded to defend -- the right to look under the hood. Part of the reasons we're of this mind is that as makers of a security system, there are safety and reliability issues that we have to deal with. We have a responsibility to combat the appearance of PGP clones that are of lower security. Worse, what constitutes "lower security" is something about which gentlepersons can disagree. I know some people with extreme opinions about all sorts of security issues (including us). I, personally, as the OpenPGP author try to be moderate. There are things allowed in the standard that personally I disagree with. We solve that by saying that in our implementation of the standard, we're not going to do those things. You can think this as being the software equivalent of having an editorial voice. I'll defend your right to use feature X, but it isn't going in my product. But I digress. I support your right to look at my software. I think it's fine if you modify it for your own use. If you quietly give it to your friends, I'm not going to complain -- provided they're using freeware features or paid for it. We provide reseller agreements and we license our toolkit, the PGPsdk -- quite liberally, I might add. If you want to do resell or make a product based on our source code, we can work something out. You just need to talk to us first. After stopping the PGP product line, Network Associates spokeswoman Jennifer Keavney said: "The reality is it didn't become a large enterprise sell, and it maintained its perception as a freeware product. People around the world are still using it for free". Won't PGP Corporation have the same problem? We believe we can be successful. Our funders, who include Venrock, the venture arm of the Rockefeller family, believe we can be successful. Will your company stop offering PGP source code in the future? No. Source code is vital. We believe in it. Our funders believe in it. Will PGP Corporation produce Linux versions of PGP products? We are considering it. We can produce a GUI version of PGP similar to the ones we do for Mac OSX and Windows. The biggest question for us is whether or not Linux people would find such a thing valuable enough to want to buy. There are a number of freeware systems available now -- should we bother making something we charge for, or should we just interoperate with what's out there? Are there plans for the development of new products in the PGP line in the near future? Oh, yes. We weren't funded just to pick up the PGP business. We were funded for our new product plans. Without giving it away, our aim is to make products that are extremely easy to use. Think of it as PGP for people whose VCRs flash 12:00. Is there a possibility for you to discontinue any of the PGP products? I can't think of one. What do you think about the whole segment of handheld computers security? Where does PGP Corporation stands at this topic? We already have versions of PGP for Palm OS and WinCE. We have Symbian's OS. We believe this is a huge opportunity for us. What is your perspective on full disclosure of vulnerabilities? I am a proponent of full openness. I'm a proponent of published source code, so by necessity vulnerabilities will be disclosed -- just look at the differences in the source. -- ----------------- R. A.
