hi all, suppose we have two numbers, one is serial added(about 8~10 digits), another is a random number(about 7~12 digits), then how can i generate a 5 digits number depends on both of them? there shouldn't have any key so i can verify the 5-digit number later just use the pervious two numbers, i know the security is completely depends on the method that how to generate this 5-digit number. any good method you all can hint me? any good random number generator? TIA. Kenix

Few points, in the wake of current ZKS-sold-out-no-we-did-not discussions. First, do we all agree who the adversary is when ZKSs customer encrypts traffic ? Is that the neighbor, the employer, the insurance company, ISP, Microsoft, her husband, or the government ? All entities on this list except one can be effectively neutralized with single-DES and free Anonymizer.com access. The government is the only one that can do decent multi-network tracing and break some ciphers. One needs ZKS because one wants to get protection from the government. Many crypto startups try to live in denial about this basic fact, and attempt to bank on fears from "hackers", wifes and similar. That is all bullshit. We need good crypto and good anonymity because we do not want governments to listen on us. Wives, bosses and ISP droids can be taken care of with freeware that can be easily found. Government has to know what goes around, very much like living organisms need immune system to detect undesired entities and then kill them. In order to kill, one must detect first. And that is why governments will never allow effective (1) crypto, that is except suicidal governments. The first use of effective crypto will be to replace government-based money with private currencies and so reduce the cost of doing business by removing the tax part. Governments exist because a) they can see the money, b) they can force you to use it and c) they can take it away ("tax"). What do you think the reaction of armed thugs will be when they find out that they will not be able to do a, b c ? They will call the CEO of crypto provider for a friendly chat. Crypto+anonymity is AIDS for the government. It disables the immune system and will eventually kill the creature. Thinking that the creature will tolerate virus generators within its own corporate establishment is just plain silly, Canada or not. Now, Zanzibar is a different story - look it up. (1) by "effective" I assume the one that achieves the goal - hard AND widespread AND anonymous. PGP may be "hard" crypto, but it is used by irrelevant percentage of population.

There was a blurb about the non-backed-up emails somewhere... Apparently, many more are missing than was originally told the judge. Oh! [hits head] Of course: judicialwatch.org will have the links... [ oh my gawd, Albright was just on TV, and I thought for a moment she was Halloween-dressed as Grandpa Munster! ] Here are the new URLS: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/aponline/20001031/aponline185112_000.h… http://judicialwatch.org/press_release.asp?pr_id=670 http://www.judicialwatch.org/otherserver/2000/wt110100.gif

Rush rapped: > Glad to hear that all it takes to "get your vote" is a reckless executive > pardon of criminals that is designed to utilize executive > power to bypass the checks and balances system and negate the efforts of the > legislative and judicial branches of government Spoken like a true fascist. What the fuck do you think executive pardon is but just another "checks and balances"? The fact is that it's the criminal scum in power at the moment who are fucking the constitution with their dirty little "war on some drugs". Basic 1st Amemdment freedom of religion went right down the drain with the very first drug law. It's religious persecution pure and simple, nothing more, nothing less. Harry Browne should go further, if elected he should not only pardon every person ever convicted of a drug or gun offense, but he should order the immediate arrest of anyone who ever voted for a drug or gun law, and who ever enforced these despicable illegal laws. Take your stupid babbling about your phoney politics elsewhere -- it has no relativity to cypherpunks.

> I'm leaning toward trying for a controlled experiment, such as it is > with only 5 nyms, with my nyms split this way: The new Freedom 2.0 beta uses a different method for receiving nym email than in 1.0. 1.0 used remailer reply blocks. Several separate blocks were set up due to the unreliability of the remailer network (?). The Freedom servers sent mail to all the reply blocks. The client software was then smart enough to eliminate the duplicates if more than one came through. 2.0 just runs a POP server at freedom.net. Then you connect to it via the anonymous Freedom network, as when you are web browsing or using IRC anonymously. You retrieve your mail and you're done. It seems to be much more reliable. Any comments on whether this new approach provides less privacy? Note that the beta test is using only a few servers, all controlled by ZKS, and so provides no real anonymity. That will change once 2.0 is released. Ob

CDR: Yet another key maintainence infrastructure?
by brflgnk＠cotse.com 02 Nov '00

I ran across a (new?) company, Authentica, that's fielding a security model for email, web pages and documents. The mail product, MailRecall, uses a plugin that fetches a key lease for each received message and restricts access based on the properties of the lease. Their website, http://www.authentica.com, has little to no real information about the actual crypto or key protocols used. Anyone heard about this? Thoughts on its usefulness? On a similar note, I had run across http://www.safedepositbox.com a few weeks ago and actually sent email asking what they were using to protect stored documents. The website was pretty vague, and the response was about the same. The flack blathered on about not sharing that information outside their NDA'd "Trusted Partners", though he assured me they used "industry standard" protocols.
