Reason's C. Young: Encryption is "scary," put up with surveillance
by Declan McCullagh 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

http://www.reason.com/cy/cy092401.html September 24, 2001 Civil liberties may take a hit By Cathy Young [...] The movements of foreign visitors will be scrutinized more closely. Perhaps most alarming to many civil libertarians, it's likely that the government will expand its ability to monitor electronic mail, which has been a controversial issue for some time. Do I like the idea of the government intercepting e-mail? No. But, as long as there's judicial oversight and due process, that's no different from its longstanding power to intercept regular mail. Do I like the idea of people being able to encrypt electronic communications so that they are beyond surveillance? Frankly, I found it scary even before Sept. 11 - precisely because of the threat of terrorism. It is said that there are no atheists in foxholes; perhaps there are no true libertarians in times of terrorist attacks. Even in the Declaration of Independence, the right to liberty is preceded by the right to life.

ANNOUNCE: ssldump: an SSL protocol analyzer Version 0.9b2
by mean-green＠hushmail.com 28 Sep '01

ANNOUNCE: ssldump: an SSL protocol analyzer Version 0.9b2 http://www.rtfm.com/ssldump/ RTFM, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of ssldump 0.9b2. ssldump is an SSLv3/TLS network protocol analyzer. It identifies TCP connections on the chosen network interface and attempts to interpret them as SSLv3/TLS traffic. When it identifies SSLv3/TLS traffic, it decodes the records and displays them in a textual form to stdout. If linked with OpenSSL and provided with the appropriate keying material, it will also decrypt the connections and display the application data traffic. ssldump is completely passive and thus allows you to analyze systems without interfering with them. You can also use it to read stored traffic collected with tcpdump. This release is version 0.9b2. The code quality is considered to be late Beta. It has seen extensive testing on a number of Unix platforms including FreeBSD, Solaris, HP/UX and Linux. It uses autoconf and should be portable to most Unix-based systems. 0.9b2 introduces a port to Windows, courtesy of Greg Stark. This port has seen rather less testing and so is corresponding less stable. CHANGES Since 0.9b1, a number of things have changed: Support for Windows, courtesy of Greg Stark Fixed a core dump under certain RST conditions. Support for decrypting resumed sessions. Support for an arbitrary number of connections (previous versions had a hard limit). Better error reporting when you provide a bad password. Some performance fixes. Other bug fixes.

E-Surveillance Analyses Needed for Internet Caucus Compendium
by Tim Lordan 28 Sep '01

28 Sep '01

Internet Caucus Advisory Committee Members (and others): ********* PLEASE CIRCULATE WIDELY UNTIL Tuesday, October 2, 2001 DEADLINE*************** The Co-Chairs of the Congressional Internet Caucus have called upon the resources of the Advisory Committee and its members to provide any and all analyses "of current and future proposals to protect national security and their impact on the communications infrastructure." (See Co-Chair Letter September 24 at http://www.netcaucus.org/antiterrorism/letter.gif ). Therefore, the ICAC staff is asking for any and all analyses and educational materials on the various anti-terrorism proposals under consideration on Capitol Hill that affect the Internet or communications privacy in general. These proposals include: 1) the DOJ anti-terrorism bill, 2) Rep. Lamar Smith's bill, 3) the Sept. 13 amendment to the CJS appropriations, and 4) any other bills of being tracked by ICAC members that were offered in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. We are specifically seeking submissions in the following (overlapping) categories: - Title III, including the changes in Title I, subtitle A of the Administration's bill - FISA, including the changes in Title I, subtitle B of the Administration's bill - ECPA, e.g., the nationwide search warrants in sec. 108 of the Administration's bill - Pen Register and Trap & Trace, e.g., section 101 of the Administration bill - Encryption We will compile all the materials we receive and place them into a Legislative Briefing Compendium and distribute them in printed, online, and CD-ROM format to Congressional staff. For this limited instance, you may request that materials be reproduced without attribution; if you are a law firm, you may submit a memo without revealing whom it was written for. If your organization would like to have your analyses included in this Compendium, please follow the guidelines below. The Compendium on these electronic surveillance issues is for the sole purpose of educating Members and staff. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES The ICAC will accept submissions -- according to the Guidelines below -- until COB Tuesday, October 2, 2001, with the goal of producing the Compendium and circulating it to Congressional offices on Thursday, October 4. As the deadline draws near, submissions not complying with these Guidelines risk rejection for lack of time to make necessary revisions. Each submission should be tailored to a specific section of the Compendium based on the outline below. - Title III, including the changes in Title I, subtitle A of the Administration's bill - FISA, including the changes in Title I, subtitle B of the Administration's bill - ECPA, e.g., the nationwide search warrants in sec. 108 of the Administration's bill - Pen Register and Trap & Trace, e.g., section 101 of the Administration bill - Encryption You MUST indicate the appropriate category when submitting. If you have one document covering more than one category, you have three options: 1) keep it whole and submit it in the "introduction category" if appropriate; 2) break it into pieces yourself; or 3) make a request that it remain whole within a category with pointers from others. Because of the heavy demand and tight schedule, we cannot promise that requests will be met and we may have to edit documents if they contain information irrelevant to the outline. 2) Please send materials in an electronic format (e.g. MS Word [preferred]; WordPerfect, plain text, PDF). Faxes, hard copies and URLs will NOT be accepted. 3) Materials should include header information in both the email and on the document. Please indicate: * the organization that is submitting (unless submitting without attribution) * comments and requests with the contact person of that organization with their phone number/email. 4) By submitting materials to the Compendium, you are giving us your assurance that you are giving us all required copyright permissions to reprint the materials. 5) Email all submissions to briefing(a)netcaucus.org An archive of this email will remain at http://www.netcaucus.org/antiterrorism/ until further notice.

update.558 (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2001 14:38:22 -0400 (EDT) From: AIP listserver <physnews(a)aip.org> To: physnews-mailing(a)aip.org Subject: update.558 PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News Number 558 September 26, 2001 by Phillip F. Schewe, Ben Stein, and James Riordon ENTANGLEMENT OF MACROSCOPIC OBJECTS, a pair of gas clouds containing a trillion atoms each, has been achieved by a research team in Denmark (Eugene Polzik, University of Aarhus, 011-45-89423745, polzik(a)ifa.au.dk) constituting by far the largest material objects entangled on demand and paving the way for quantum teleportation between macroscopic objects. The accomplishment, published in this week's issue of Nature (Julsgaard et al., 27 September 2001), was announced in preliminary form this June at the first International Conference on Quantum Information, sponsored in part by the Optical Society of America and the American Physical Society. One of the most profound features of quantum mechanics, entanglement is a special interrelationship between objects in which measuring one object instantly influences the other, even if the two are completely isolated from one another. No previous entanglement with atoms has involved more than four particles. Furthermore, atoms have only been entangled at close proximity, either as ions spaced microns apart in a tiny trap (Update 475), or atoms flying over a short range through narrowly spaced cavities (Hagley et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 7 July 1997). In the present experiment, researchers sent a light beam through two cesium gas samples, each held in a special paraffin-coated cell. The beam changed each sample's "collective spin," which describes, in a sense, the net direction in which all of the atoms' tiny magnets add up. First, the researchers measured the sum of the two collective spins without knowing the individual collective spin of each sample. A subsequent measurement, nearly a millisecond later, showed that the sum remained the same. This demonstrated that the two gas samples maintained their special interrelationship and were entangled. Although the two samples were just millimeters apart, they could in principle be separated, and thereby entangled, at much longer distances. Entanglement of such large objects enables "bulk" properties, like collective spin, to be "teleported," or transferred, from one gas cloud to another. THE BLACK HOLE OF GENEVA.
