Slashdot: IBM Crypto up for grabs
by Greg Newby 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

/. coverage is at http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/11/09/008229 Evidently, this was covered on BBC Newsnight. >From the article at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rnc1/descrack/ Extracting a 3DES key from an IBM 4758 Summary The IBM 4758 is an extremely secure crytographic co-processor. It is used by banking systems and in other security conscious applications to hold keying material. It is designed to make it impossible to extract this keying material unless you have the correct permissions and can involve others in a conspiracy. We are able, by a mixture of sleight-of-hand and raw processing power, to persuade an IBM 4758 running IBM's ATM (cash machine) support software called the "Common Cryptographic Architecture" (CCA) to export any and all its DES and 3DES keys to us. All we need is: * about 20 minutes uninterrupted access to the device * one person's ability to use the Combine_Key_Parts permission * a standard off-the-shelf $995 FPGA evaluation board from Altera * about two days of "cracking" time The attack can only be performed by an insider with physical access to the cryptographic co-processor, but they can act alone. The FPGA evaluation board is used as a "brute force key cracking" machine. Programming this is a reasonably straightforward task that does not require specialist hardware design knowledge. Since the board is pre-built and comes with all the necessary connectors and tools, it is entirely suitable for amateur use. Besides being the first documented attack on the IBM 4758 to be run "in anger", we believe that this is only the second DES cracking machine in the open community that has actually been built and then used to find an unknown key! Until IBM fix the CCA software to prevent our attack, banks are vulnerable to a dishonest branch manager whose teenager has $995 and a few hours to spend in duplicating our work. Contents

Re:Your Classified Ad
by Patty 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

If you are like me, you probably are looking for a business that is simple and has no risk. My husband and I have tried many advertising systems and on-line businesses and had little success until we found an amazing catalog business. It was very easy for us to get started because the cost was $29 and we had 120 days risk-free 100% money back guaranteed refund if we didn't make any money within the first month or two. What we got for that small investment was hundreds of dollars of free Internet marketing training! When I found out that some of the biggest Internet players were also doing this business like crazy, we knew we had finally found the right business. These are the same guys that build web sites for some of the top Fortune 500 companies and they truly know how to Market online as well as make money with the Internet. Because we knew that 99% of North Americans order from catalogs, this business really interested us. The company's reorder rates are consistently documented at 95% or better every year for over 16 years! We knew that the business we build today would keep paying us over and over again... Take a couple of minutes and look at our site http://getresidualincomewith.freeleads4life.com and see if this is the system you've been looking for. Just copy and paste into your url. If you are failing in the other programs you are currently doing, you will quickly learn the real secrets to online success with a tremendous training system free! I look forward to hearing from you and having you on our TEAM! This email is sent in compliance with strict anti-abuse and NO SPAM regulations.

POORLY SOCIALIZED VS POLITICALLY INCORRECT
by Sandy Sandfort 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

C'punks, For those of you, like Reese, who were unsure or mistaken as to the meaning of "socialized" when I wrote that Reese was "poorly socialized," I refer you to definition #2 of "socialize" from dictionary.com: so7cial7ize (s sh -l z) v. so7cial7ized, so7cial7iz7ing, so7cial7iz7es v. tr. 1. To place under government or group ownership or control. 2. To make fit for companionship with others; make sociable. 3. To convert or adapt to the needs of society. Please compare that to either definition of "politically correct," also from dictionary.com: politically correct adj. Abbr. PC 1. Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation. 2. Being or perceived as being overconcerned with such change, often to the exclusion of other matters. So for future reference, if I should use the term "socialized" in reference to a person, I mean definition #2. If I use it in reference to a practice, organization, market segment, etc. I mean definition #1 or #3. Clear enough? S a n d y

Business 'rights' and free markets
by Jim Choate 08 Nov '01

08 Nov '01

The question has been raised why a business which applies some 'entry cost' to a particular group removes that business from a 'free market'. What does it take to create a 'free market'? Hayeks says 'perfect competition'. What is 'perfect competition'? "According to the generally accepted view, perfect competition presupposes: 1. A homogenous commodity offered and demanded by a large number of relatively small sellers and buyers, none of whom expects to exercise by his actiona perceptible influence on price. 2. Free entry into the market and absence of other restraints on the movement of prices and resources. 3. Complete knowledge of the relevant factors on the part of all participants in the market." Individualism and Economic Order F.A. Hayek ISBN 0-225-32093-6 Chapter V The Meaning of 'Competition' The reality is that Tim's believe that he can refuse to serve a customer because they hold or perhaps practice some action that (while not involving him or his property directly, only his apparently fragile emotional ego) he finds offensive is within the bounds of free market econoimics is just plain crap. Hayek's views on fascism and socialism are well known, and not positive. What Tim proposes is nothing more than fascism at the individual level. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Day by day the Penguins are making me lose my mind.
