Just as the police are "artificially" allowed to spy on people by being funded through public monies that allow them manpower and equipment, they can be "artificially" commanded to piss off. One artifice deserves another. Allowing selective use of technology does seem to be a bad idea - it's usually the authorities who are selected as allowed and anyone else incarcerated after being economically destroyed. If we allow IR imaging without restriction there will be legal precendents required and even some economic benefits. The fact of a higher than average electric bill or a heat source unlike heat sources in similar buildings must be found to be evidence of nothing beyond the use of electricity and subsequent generation of heat. Zero justification for a search warrant. The benny will be a whole new industry to make clothing with a high metallic content. This would also work as a counter to the mm wave imaging that has been around since the 80's and seems to be going mainstream. Mike

Babylon Four disappeared twenty-four hours after becoming operational. In 2260, it was discovered that Babylon Four was pulled back in time more than one thousand years to aid in the First Great War. Babylon Five was scuttled around 2282; there would never be another. We know nothing of Babylon Ten.

No one in particular said: Assuming this is true, there is only one algorithm that is not explicitly mentioned in Hitachi's claim: Rijndael. -------------- Interesting that Rijndael may be the winner. See http://www.counterpane.com/rijndael.html

Algebraic Coding Theory E.R. Berlekamp ISBN n/a LoC 68-17175 (out of print) c. 1968 ?$ ($14 used) This is a book put out by Bell describing various methods and techniques of coding and compression in digital logic. Would be useful if designing algorithms in hardware. There is also some discussion of older codes and some technique for designing codes. ____________________________________________________________________ He is able who thinks he is able.

AES winner to be announced Monday.

I can't get the web page myself, but the appended message is in sci.crypt today: Peter Trei ------------------------ From: Jim Gillogly <jim(a)acm.org> 1:03 PM Subject: Re: Deadline for AES...

They (explicitly) won't say yet how many algorithms have been chosen as the AES. There's no mention of new versions of SHA-* with appropriately longer hashes. -- Jim Gillogly Sterday, 8 Winterfilth S.R. 2000, 17:00 12.19.7.10.12, 8 Eb 15 Chen, Fifth Lord of Night
