hidden update protocol
by Tom Vogt 07 Feb '01

07 Feb '01

I am in need of a protocol that allows something between freenet and cocaine auction. bonus points for pointers to existing software: imagine a network of nodes that store information, say a number of websites. the information is identical on all (mirrors). I'm looking for a way to insert information (new pages, updates...) in such a way that it is impossible to find out where the information was injected. i.e. one node is the "master node", but nobody except it knows who. only the master node can insert information. bonus problem: in case the master node fails, the protocol should allow for a pre-determined (by the master node) other node to take over. who the "successor" is should not be known to anyone except the master node and maybe the successor.

# From: "Trei, Peter" <ptrei(a)rsasecurity.com> # # He's getting better. Jim's posts used to consist of a cryptic # subject line, the URL, and the entire HTML page (sometimes 10's # of kb) included as an attachment. # # Just a cryptic subject line and a URL are a big improvement. # It's my hope that one day he'll also add a descriptive line or # two to his posts, so we can decide whether to check the full # article. Yeah, he over-compensated in response to complaints. So now he's got a signature several times larger than his content. If only the weirdo would put a single paragraph blurb with the URL, and bunch them up into one post once a day. Like Declan & Politech. Right now he's like a kid with an impulsive urge he can't control. I wonder if he wets his chair anytime he feels like it too.

I wonder if a FOIA request would be successful in revealing more details (encryption used, file/OS type, precise amount of time the decryption took) since the FBI is apparently feeling chatty. [...] Khalil Deek, an alleged terrorist arrested in Pakistan in 1999, used encrypted computer files to plot bombings in Jordan at the turn of the millennium, U.S. officials say. Authorities found Deek's computer at his Peshawar, Pakistan, home and flew it to the National Security Agency in Fort Meade, Md. Mathematicians, using supercomputers, decoded the files, enabling the FBI to foil the plot. Ramzi Yousef, the convicted mastermind of the World Trade Center bombing in 1993, used encrypted files to hide details of a plot to destroy 11 U.S. airliners. Philippines officials found the computer in Yousef's Manila apartment in 1995. U.S. officials broke the encryption and foiled the plot. Two of the files, FBI officials say, took more than a year to decrypt.
