About NSA assistant director Dr. Clint Brooks: >He readily admitted that the Clipper system isn't intended to catch >any crooks. They'll just avoid the phones. It is just going to deny >them access to the telecommunications system. They just won't be able >to go into Radio Shack and buy a secure phone that comes off the line. This is why it is _imperative_ that Cypherpunks develop secure voice communication systems, to kill Clipper market share. >Their message was direct and they didn't hesitate to compare encryption >with assault rifles. Of course, the assault weapon issue is, for the most part, a bogus attempt to grab rifles. Semi-auto long weapons do not actually show up in the crime stream with any regularity, there are millions of legally owned rifles that are never used in crime, and anti-gun groups are using people's inexperience with semi-auto weapons and crime statistics to achieve their ends. -Thomas

>(For you worried parents out there who worry about Junior calling these I recently heard about a married adult who would call some sex line uncontrollably...so apparently it is possible for some people to become addicted to a phone number--the blocking isn't just for concerned parents! What a surprise (to me). >* when will the first "personal data" agencies appear, which offer Yesterday on American Public Radio (used to be called NPR?) reported that the IRS recently busted 300 or so of their employees for accessing tax returns of relatives, famous people, etc. They noted that this information was also being sold to lawyers, private investigators, and market researchers. The IRS even stated that they cannot control the problem since 56,000 employees have access to the data. The black market of tax information is doing quite fine... >landlords A database already exists for the purpose of identifying defaulting renters. I'd like to create a reverse one that tracks landlords who never make repairs or charge excessive cleaning fees. >preexisting medical conditions databases This kinda thing irks me since is a policy choice as to how preexisting conditions are covered. Since I've changed jobs often (startups, etc.), it can be a real hassle every time they try to use this to weasle out of a claim. (My wife just had a checkup, everything is fine, and they want all kinds of information released to them to determine whether there was a preexisting condition even though she is being treated for nothing at all!) The clause varies from company to company considerably and is archaic since insurance should be for the individual, not subsidized and controlled by group policies... >Crypto anarchy is gonna change the world!

For those folks who would like to FAX their congresspersons their positions on SkipJack, here is a list of FAX numbers. If you do intend to use this channel, please do so wisely. Choose your words carefully, get to the point quickly, and don't go on too long. Remember that flames and usage of profanity to Congress is counterproductive to your position. //CONGRESS US Senate, 103rd Congress phone and fax numbers =============================================== Information from US Congress Yellow Book, January 1993 p st name phone fax = == ======================== ============== ============== R AK Murkowski, Frank H. 1-202-224-6665 1-202-224-5301 R AK Stevens, Ted 1-202-224-3004 1-202-224-1044 D AL Heflin, Howell T. 1-202-224-4124 1-202-224-3149 D AL Shelby, Richard C. 1-202-224-5744 1-202-224-3416 D AR Bumpers, Dale 1-202-224-4843 1-202-224-6435 D AR Pryor, David 1-202-224-2353 na D AZ DeConcini, Dennis 1-202-224-4521 1-202-224-2302 R AZ McCain, John 1-202-224-2235 na D CA Boxer, Barbara 1-202-225-5161 na D CA Feinstein, Diane 1-202-224-3841 na D CO Campbell, Ben N. 1-202-225-4761 1-202-225-0228 R CO Brown, Henry 1-202-224-5941 na D CT Dodd, Christopher J. 1-202-224-2823 na D CT Lieberman, Joseph I. 1-202-224-4041 1-202-224-9750 D DE Biden Jr., Joseph R. 1-202-224-5042 na R DE Roth Jr., William V. 1-202-224-2441 1-202-224-2805 D FL Graham, Robert 1-202-224-3041 na R FL Mack, Connie 1-202-224-5274 1-202-224-8022 D GA Nunn, Samuel 1-202-224-3521 1-202-224-0072 R GA Coverdell, Paul 1-202-224-3643 na D HI Akaka, Daniel K. 1-202-224-6361 1-202-224-2126 D HI Inouye, Daniel K. 1-202-224-3934 1-202-224-6747 D IA Harkin, Thomas 1-202-224-3254 1-202-224-7431 R IA Grassley, Charles E. 1-202-224-3744 na R ID Craig, Larry E. 1-202-224-2752 1-202-224-2573 R ID Kempthorne, Dirk 1-202-224-6142 1-202-224-5893 D IL Moseley-Braun, Carol 1-202-224-2854 na D IL Simon, Paul 1-202-224-2152 1-202-224-0868 R IN Coats, Daniel R. 1-202-224-5623 1-202-224-8964 R IN Lugar, Richard G. 1-202-224-4814 na R KS Dole, Robert 1-202-224-6521 1-202-224-8952 R KS Kassebaum, Nancy L. 1-202-224-4774 1-202-224-3514 D KY Ford, Wendell H. 1-202-224-4343 na R KY McConnell, Mitch 1-202-224-2541 1-202-224-2499 D LA Breaux, John B. 1-202-224-4623 na D LA Johnston, J.

help with encryptor - please?!?!
by IE63＠vaxb.acs.unt.edu 05 Aug '93

05 Aug '93

I've been working on a program for MS-DOS machines that will encrypt and/or password protect .COM and .EXE files. The way it works is this: It encrypts the entire file specified by the user, then it uses a polymorphic encryptor to encrypt the decryption code for the file and put it in a decryption envelope filled with anti-debugging code. IT then attaches the entire module/decryption code to the file so that it is executed initially when the file is run - at which point it decrypts the file and does whatever relocation is needed (for .EXE files). In the case of a password - it asks for the password, encrypts it and checks it against the stored version, then if they match it decrypts restoration code using the password as a key and continues on. I've got it working really well at this point - but my encryption algorithms are rather simple. I'm fairly new in the encryption biz, and I was wondering what would be good to use for the file encryption algorithm to make it as secure as possible? Of course - the code to decrypt it MUST be present in the file, so if you can bypass the anti- debugging code it's yours, but the polymorphism makes it difficult to do this on more than a case-by-case basis. Still - I'd like to make it to where one can't just run a "decrypt-em-all" analysis program on it and be able to read the included text - but I need a good algorithm for it. Any help/suggestions would REALLY be appreciated. Oh - if you are interested in the protection utilities, email me at the address below - it's freeware.

CAKE--Citizens Against Key Escrow
by L. Detweiler 05 Aug '93

05 Aug '93

Hey cypherfolks. It seems to me that the fundemental issue of the acceptability of key escrow is not getting debated well enough in the mainstream media. The Clipper debate keeps getting framed in terms of `who will be the escrow agencies' or `how secure is the algorithm really' or whatever. Also, I'm a bit disappointed in both EFF and CPSR not coming out with firm positions *against* key escrow systems in general (CPSR spokesman: `I don't want to sound too stridently opposed...'). We have something of a void. The problem is that the stance is seen as anti-law enforcement by these organizations (or they are afraid it will be perceived that way). Anyway, as part of the propaganda effort, I am proposing starting a new `group' called the Citizens Against Key Escrow. (Now, don't get too excited.) To start out, what would be ideal is just a document describing Clipper, a lot of anti-Clipper propaganda, and the appended *signatures* of everyone who is a `member' of CAKE and affirms the position `unlimited and unrestricted use of strong cryptography is an inalienable right.' Please do *not* mail me saying that you want to sign it. I'm not ready. In particular, I'd like to propose that a patriotic cypherpunk set up a mini-email server to handle signature additions, so that people can send automated messages. Then, when this is posted to sci.crypt and circulated to every dark corner of Cyberspace, the ability to handle the traffic will be automatic, and hopefully we will collect *many* signors. (Yes, there could be tricky authentication issues with names. I would like to see the utmost attention given to the veracity of signors if possible. If `David Sternlight' makes it to the list we know its fake, and people could criticize it on that ground. Maybe some way to `contest signatures' via email--if a signature is contested it is removed?) By the way, the supposed `comprehensive policy review' blared in the Clipper announcement by the Clinton adminstration regarding cryptographic policies (export, freedom of use, etc.) is rumored to be over in mid-September. Surprise, they haven't contacted us yet! This document would be something tangible to present and herald to them *prior* to a big ugly hand-me-down announcement. If we got press coverage of our view, saying that we're being excluded, that these are the real issues at stake, and then the real announcement came out shortly thereafter with all the inevitable bad news, it would be a great PR coup. Anyway, here are some propaganda items that will be included in the final document if this actually happens. I'd really appreciate if anyone would contribute *specific* paragraphs. (I've never really gotten great response from this kind of query, despite a lot of lip service and excitement, and judging by the current Cypherpunk FAQ this is not uncommon, but I'm the eternal optimist.) - Description of Clipper - Emphatic terms: we think Skipjack could be a strong algorithm, but key escrow is inappropriate for a civilized cyberspatial society - of course, we're not against law enforcement in general! we just believe that just as the government currently has the capability to wiretap insecured communications, the public has a right to thwart wherever it wants with it secured - Debate on security of key agencies, who will be `it' etc. are smokescreen decoys by the NSA - Indications that key escrow is not the actual fundamental motivation of Clipper, from FOIA documents (the classification of the national security reasons), the rather pathetic circumlocutions about vaults and the agencies, etc. - Maybe a little history of NSA and the abuses from Bamford - Jefferson as cryptographic innovator, other revolutionaries requiring anonymity and security in their writing - Constitutional issues: freedom of speech and illegal search & seizure - cryptographic device export restriction by the NSA - Quotes from the FBI and NSA: cryptography is like nitroglycerin, we might have a lot of dead bodies lying around, all the waffling quotes about whether cryptography should be regulated, etc. If you have anything on the above, please send it! In particular I need `mini-essays'. This is another project that everyone can contribute to and prove we're not just a bunch of listless, noisy, inconsequential nihilists. (Once again, my optimism overshadows my memory.)

This is what was in my mailbox... Just so you know, the anonymous remailer here strips out your ENTIRE header. It will process commands in the header, but the original message's subject won't get passed on. Anything in the pasted "::" header block will get tacked onto the outgoing header unless it is a command to the remailer. So put a "Subject:" line in the pasted header block and it will get through the news gateway barring any other difficulties.

Anon remailer to USENET gate bogus
by fergp＠sytex.com 05 Aug '93

I have been experimenting the past few days with anon remailer to USENET gateway systems to see what the results would be -- nada. I used Chael's BSU system (nowhere(a)bsu-cs.bsu.edu) to attempt a usenet post which never (magically?) appeared in the desired group (alt.privacy, I believe). I waited for several days for the post, but nada, zilch, zero. I retried the bsu remailer with a test message to make sure it was still active, and yes, it seemed to work perfectly. My guess is that the usenet gateway at utexas refuses anon e-mail. Anyone got any other suggestions? I haven't tried any other gateways -- yet. Cheers.
