cypherpunks , From;Mr.David Kargbou and Family, Johannesburg,South Africa. My Dear , Good day.This very confidential request should come as a surprise to you.But it is because of the nature of what is happening to me and my family urged me to contact you, and I quite understand that this is not the best way to contact you because of the nature of my request and the attention it requires.I got your contact information from your country's information directory during my desperate search for someone who can assist me secretly and confidentially in relocating and managing some family fortunes. My name is Mr.David Kargbou,the second son of Mr.Smith Thabo Kargbou,of Beitbridge Zimbabwe.At the height of the present political crises in our country,in which the white farmers in our country are being slained and ripped off their belongings by the supporters of our president,Mr.Robert G.Mugabe,in their efforts to reclaim all the white owned farms in our country,my father and my elder brother were brutally slained to a painful death on the 13th of february,2002, in their struggle to protect some white farmers who ran to take refuge in our house.My father,during his life on earth was a prominent business man who trades on diamond and gold from some foreign countries .He publicly opposes the crude policies and crime against humanity on the white farmers by Mr.Robert Mugabe and his followers,which they enforced media law restrictions to protect their wicked acts.That not being enough,the president and his followers after winning the last undemocratic elections decided to bl! oc! k and confiscate all accounts and assets of our black indigenes[that included my fathers assets and accounts] who oppose his policies and render support to these white farmers,along with the assets of these white farmers themselves,that are being presently confiscated.I therefore decided to move my mother and younger sister to the Republic of South Africa,where we presently live without anything and without any source of livelyhood. During my fathers life on earth,he had deposited the sum of Seven Million and Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars[$7.400.000.00]in a Trunk box with a Finance and Security Company in the Republic of Togo for a cash and carry Diamond and Gold business with some foreign business customers, awaiting instructions to be moved to its destination,which he never completed before he met his untimely death on that faithful day.In view of this and as the only surviving son of my father,and with the present clamp down,killing and confiscation of his assets as one of those who render support to the white farmers in our country,I therefore humbly wish to inform you of my intentions to use your name and adress in making sure that this fund is lifted out of Africa finally,to the Europe office of the finance company and also seek for your honest and trustworthy assistance to help me clear and accommodate this money over there before it is dictated out and blocked by the present Mugabe! 's! regime.My mother is presently with the valid document covering this deposit. Now this is what I actually want you to do for me; 1. I want you to be presented to the Finance and Security company as the person I contacted to assist my family for this purpose, with whose name and adress myself and my mother will forward to them their office in the Republic of Togo as the person that will clear this money when they lift it out to their europe office. 2. To finally assist me in accommodating and managing this money in any lucrative business in your country for at least three years. Please,I hope you will grant and view this very request with favour and much understanding of our situation now,and will be a very honest and reliable person to deal with.And also bearing in mind the confidential nature of this my request,I emphasize please that you keep every bit of it to yourself so as to protect my familys future and yourself rendering this help.Thanking you in anticipation of your urgent response as soon as you read this very request. Best Regards, Mr.David Kargbou and family.

Re: Other uses of TCPA

I'm sorry, I'm just using the language and data structures from TCPA to try to understand how your assertion could relate to it. If you are making a claim about TCPA, perhaps you could express it in terms of those specific features which are supported by TCPA. > The TPM has its own secret key, it makes the corresponding public > key widely available to everyone, and its own internal good known > time. No, the TPM public key is not widely available to everyone. In fact, believe it or not, it is a relatively closely held secret. This is because the public key is in effect a unique identifier like the Intel processor ID number, and we all know what a firestorm that caused. Intel is paranoid about being burned again, so they have created a very elaborate system in which the TPM's public key is exposed only as narrowly as possible. The TPM public key is called the Endorsement key - this is the key which is signed by the manufacturer and which proves that the TPM is a valid implementation of TCPA. Here is what section 9.2 of the TCPA spec says about it: : A TPM only has one asymmetric endorsement key pair. Due to the nature of : this key pair, both the public and private parts of the key have privacy : and security concerns. : : Exporting the PRIVEK from the TPM must not occur. This is for security : reasons. The PRIVEK is a decryption key and never performs any signature : operations. : : Exporting the public PUBEK from the TPM under controlled circumstances : is allowable. Access to the PUBEK must be restricted to entities that : have a "need to know." This is for privacy reasons. The PUBEK is the public part of the TPM key and is not supposed to be widely available. It is only for those who have a "need to know", which definitely does not include everyone who would like to send some software to the system. In fact, it is only sent to Privacy CAs, which use it to encrypt a cert on a transient key that will be widely exposed. But I'm sorry, I'm going unintelligible again, aren't I? Also, nothing in the TCPA standard refers to securely knowing the time. Section 10.7 says "There is no requirement for a clock function in the TPM", so the date/time info comes from the normal, insecure hardware clock. > So when your customer's payment goes through, you then > send him a copy of your stuff encrypted to his TPM, a copy which > only his TPM can make use of. Your code, which the TPM decrypts > and executes, looks at the known good time, and if the user is > out of time, refuses to play. Well, without using any jargon, I will only say that TCPA doesn't work like this, and if you don't believe me, you will have to read the spec and verify it for yourself.

It's not quite that bad. I mentioned the blinding. What happens is that before the master storage key is encrypted, it is XOR'd with a random value, which is also output by the TPM along with the encrypted recovery blob. You save them both, but only the encrypted blob gets sent to the manufacturer. So when the manufacturer decrypts the data, he doesn't learn your secrets. The system is cumbersome, but not an obvious security leak.

Hacking Shengen
by Matthew X 03 Aug '02

03 Aug '02

"...On friday 26th a team of researchers from strasbourg nsv research(noborder sillicon valley) came to Strasbourg Neuhof, where the Schengen Information System (SiS) is located. It was the aim of a working group to develope a system to make the data stored in the Schengen Information System accessable for everybody. Accompanied by a french television team and several journalist, the team dig a hole next to the street which is going to the SIS. The work of the group soon got the attention of the police, obviously not understanding what was going on and suprised by the massive gathering of press people. Based on information of a resaerchers group who visited the SIS location some days before, a cable was taken out of the ground and connected to a notebook. After booting the system and logging in on the SIS system, the user rights of the schengen data were changed (chmod 777*) so from now on everybody is able to access his/her own data stored in the schengen system, of course also change or delete data as needed. After that then the noborder plugin was installed (apt-get install noborder) to enable access from everywhere whitout limitation. The communication protokoll was changed to TCP/IP for easy internet (webbased-)access. A easy to use webportal will be installed soon. Now the system was shutdown for a complete reboot and made ready for a free-communication compiling..." FROM http://slash.autonomedia.org/news/02/08/02/2129242.shtml

Get your war on.
by Matthew X 03 Aug '02

If there's any sane lesson that Congress should take away from the Enron political scandal (and this is assuredly both a corporate and political scandal), it is not that we need campaign finance reformit is that we need federal spending reform. Want to get rid of corporate political corruption? Abolish corporate welfare so that Fortune 500 firms don't spend half their energy and public relations budgets farming Washington. With $100 billion of corporate loot divvied up by Congress every year, the wonder is that there aren't 100 Enrons out there, with tentacles into every law firm, media outlet and congressional office in the District of Columbia. And perhaps there are. The one lesson I've learned from my 20-year experience in Washington is that corporate America is perhaps a bigger adversary to small government and the free market than even Tom Daschle. Republicans, and specifically the Bush administrationwhich, of course, had a particularly cozy relationship with Enroncould go a long way toward defusing the Enron crisis by calling for abolition of the Commerce Department, the Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank and other CEO feeding troughs. That'll probably happen the day the Olympics installs fair and impartial judges at skating events. Whats this got to do with war? SEE MWO's ANNALs of ENRON,it will all become clear.
