A pattern emerges...
by Ray Dillinger 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Consider the DMCA (US law) as compared to the Terrorism Act of 2000 (UK law). Both make it effectively illegal for ordinary citizens to own, use, or distribute any software capable of performing decrypts by exploiting a weak cryptographic system. The US and UK, not coincidentally, are the two governments with the largest known investments in SIGINT -- the famous Echelon System. If people started using strong cryptographic systems, Echelon would be effectively useless. Therefore it is in the best interests of these two governments to make weak cryptographic systems the norm insofar as they are able. This is possible by providing an additional layer of legal protection to users of weak cryptographic systems -- with software capable of exploiting such weaknesses effectively illegal to own or use, the developers of such products have drastically reduced incentive to develop strong cryptographic systems to replace them. The DMCA and the Terrorism Act appear to provide exactly such laws. What has been passed recently by the other signatories to the UKUSA agreement that created Echelon?

RE: A question of self-defence - Fire extinguishers & self defenc e
by Jonathan Wienke 29 Jul '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you pick something heavy up from the ground, and intend to throw it, it is extremely difficult to do so without having it in front of you, at least for a moment. If Giuliani intended to throw it overhand over his head, or shot-put style over one shoulder, the extinguisher would have been in the position shown in the photo at least momentarily. It is also possible that he intended to throw the extinguisher, and then saw the pistol pointed at his head and tried to hide behind it at the last moment. Regardless, if I had been in the vehicle, I would have shot the bastard. Several vehicle windows had already been broken, and most rational people would accept the notion that a group of people using large, heavy objects to smash the windows out of an occupied vehicle in a riot situation usually do not have the health and welfare of the occupants of the vehicle foremost in mind. In some states, this sort of behavior is called car-jacking, and occupants of the vehicle who use deadly force to repel the window-smashers are not prosecuted. - -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Woods [mailto:andrew@pokerspot.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2001 1:14 AM To: Jon Beets Cc: cypherpunks(a)lne.com Subject: Re: A question of self-defence - Fire extinguishers & self defence If you look at the Reuters image of Carlo holding the fire extinguisher, he's holding it below head-level. In my opinion, that leaves three options: Carlo was going to chuck the extinguisher underhand (and sideways to the vehicle, so it would've bounced off) at a low velocity, or Carlo was holding the fire extinguisher out in front of him as DEFENSE, or he was merely holding a fire extinguisher. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 6.5.8 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com> iQA/AwUBO2SZGxj6oMyeDxZoEQJoOACfcI8ynA+ALnz1NRC7EiXm0QEKDEUAoOdm AISXQu3Rzp2h9PtLcnHjd7QI =fsqE -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

by Matthew Gaylor 29 Jul '01

29 Jul '01

Palo Alto: Community Room at the Lucie Stern Community Center in Palo Alto (1305 Middlefield Rd.) San Francisco: ServOn at 8th & Townsend in San Francisco (650 Townsend, Suite 252). Parking is available on the roof. Meetings begin at 6:30 with pizza and mingling. At 7:00 everyone has an opportunity to ask questions of the group or to make brief announcements, followed by Phil Zimmermann. PGP's creator speaks from the perspective of its 10th anniversary. The OpenPGP alliance, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and free speech. There is a $10 fee for non-SDForum Members, and no charge for SDForum members or students with ID Internet Security and Privacy Special Events Software Development Forum Special Events July 31st Event A decade ago, Philip R. Zimmermann released an encryption program, Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). For that, the Federal government charged him with violations of the Arms Export Control Act for munitions trafficking. The government held that U.S. national security was jeopardized when PGP was spread around the world as free encryption software. The case against Phil Zimmermann continued for three years. Without a paid staff, without a company to stand behind it, without sufficient funding, and despite government persecution, PGP became the most widely used email encryption software in the world. The feds eventually dropped their case against Phil Zimmermann. Phil Zimmermann will make a rare appearance on Tuesday, July 31st in San Francisco to talk about encryption and the federal government's attempts to control the free speech of programmers through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Mr. Zimmermann will also discuss the OpenPGP email encryption standard alliance, the future of public key encryption, and answer questions from the audience. Purpose We are bringing in leading experts in many aspects of Internet Security and Privacy to discuss how to protect yourself and your customers against attacks over the Internet. They will explain which threats you should pay attention to first, and how to reduce your risk. Organized by Montebello Partners and PaperlessInvoice, our three special events will focus on the technologies for public key infrastructure, securing credit card information and transactions, and securing your network against intrusion with firewalls and virtual private networks. Our speakers will provide a top-level view of best security practices, as well as practical technical advice on designing, implementing, and managing secure systems. In addition, these events are a great opportunity to meet your colleagues who are also building and administering the latest Internet systems. Find out what malicious activity others have encountered, and what they're doing about it. Please join us, and bring your questions and experiences to share. For further information, visit our web page, or email our organizers Ames Cornish (ames(a)montebellopartners.com) or Ira Victor (irav(a)degrees.com) with questions, comments, or suggestions.
