CALL for Papers: The Millennium Mac-Crypto Conference
by Vinnie Moscaritolo 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Take out your calendars, It's that time again folks. I am starting to put together the schedule for the Millennium Edition of the Mac Crypto/ Internet commerce workshop. The dates should be the week of Jan 29th, 2001. I have booked us space for that whole week, on the Apple Cupertino Campus . Henceforth, I am looking for folks to give talks, papers etc. This year's overall theme could cover "Security in a MacOS X world". I would like to see a number of talks related to how MacOS X changes the Macintosh threat model. In addition I would also like to see a few talks about lessons learned in the last few years about developing crypto related products. Maybe something about digital rights management or music. Digital cash talks are always welcome. I would like both technical and tutorial material. As usual I discourage simple marketing presentations without content, this is a technical group. Please try to keep the talks no more than 40 minutes with an additional 10 minutes allocated for for Q&A.. I suspect that there a a number of new people who have never been to a Mac Crypto. To get an idea about what this is all about take a look at the past three conference archives at http://www.vmeng.com/mc/ I will be posting a preliminary schedule, formal announcements and registration form in a month. In the meantime if you would like to give a talk, please send me the Title, Author's full name and email address and a small abstract I can post on the web-page. Once you have slides or possibly a pdf, please send me a copy I post or link to.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 7.0 iQA/AwUBOf8/EtixAAkLPvBCEQIIfgCfR3RHnib58GqZ03fbb+m0Ngvw3nQAmwUl F1r76c977zboKxAIK+l6xw5C =0Tx+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Vinnie Moscaritolo KF6WPJ ITCB-IMSH PGP: 3F903472C3AF622D5D918D9BD8B100090B3EF042 ------------------------------------------------------- --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R.

Read the article. Of course the time is well known, and the logs are stamped. You are naive, though, if you beleive that will stop an LEA from trashing the lives of innocents... ...and of course they'll get away with it. Peter [Now, I'm not excusing the FBI's jackboot tactics in this case, but I will point out that Mr. Salomon poked at 'unusual' ports, and zone transfered yankee.com during his investigation. An IDS might well trigger an attack alert under those conditions. The government's theft of his property after all this was explained, is of course inexcusable.] > ---------- > From: mmotyka@lsil.com[SMTP:mmotyka@lsil.com] > Reply To: mmotyka(a)lsil.com > Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 3:19 PM > To: cypherpunks(a)cyberpass.net > Subject: CDR: Re: Visit a hacked site, loose your computers. > > Wouldn't the time of the hack be pretty well known and wouldn't the RPI > firewall logs be timestamped or am I naive? > > Is knowledge being used as evidence of guilt? > > Mike > > >Andres Salomon, a fairly clued in RPI student, heard on > > IRC that the Yankees website had been hacked.

Susan Landau on crypto policy
by Christof Paar 31 Oct '00

31 Oct '00

Please note the different day, time, and *building* of this seminar talk. For those coming from outside: Fuller Labs is the large concrete building next to Atwater Kent. - Christof *********************************************************************** ECE GRADUATE SEMINAR TITLE: Have the Crypto Wars Been Won? PRESENTER: Dr. Susan Landau Sun Microsystems Laboratories Place: Fuller Labs, Rm 320 Date and Time: Thursday, Nov. 9, 11 AM ABSTRACT: Telecommunication has never been perfectly secure, as the Cold War culture of wiretaps and international spying taught us. Yet many of us still take our privacy for granted, even as we become ever more reliant on telephones and the Internet. The security of these transactions has become a source of wide public concern and debate. Cryptography is a solution, but because cryptography can provide perfectly concealable communications, over the last quarter century the U.S. government has sought to prevent its proliferation. As a result there have been numerous battles between academics and industry on the one hand, and the U.S. government on the other, over the publication and deployment of strong cryptographic systems. In January of this year, in a major change, the U.S. government removed a number of export restrictions on cryptography. In this talk I will put current cryptography policy in the context of decisions over the last twenty-five years, and I will discuss the legal background behind the government controls, the purpose of the export regulations, and the subtleties behind the remaining restrictions. I will examine: is the battle over, and have the crypto wars been won? BIOGRAPHY: Susan Landau is Senior Staff Engineer at Sun Microsystems Laboratories. Before joining Sun, she was a faculty member at the University of Massachusetts and Wesleyan University, and held visiting positions at Yale, Cornell, and the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at Berkeley. She and Whitfield Diffie have written ``Privacy on the Line: The Politics of Wiretapping and Encryption,'' which won 1998 Donald McGannon Communication Policy Research Award. Landau is also primary author of the 1994 Association for Computing Machinery report ``Codes, Keys, and Conflicts: Issues in US Crypto Policy.'' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DIRECTIONS: The WPI Cryptoseminar is being held in the Atwater Kent building on the WPI campus.
