And why not? Saving stuff is easy, and cheap, thanks to ever-declining prices on disk and tape drives. Just one problem: Some companies now have so much stuff saved that it takes forever to sift through mountains of material to find anything. Complying with discovery requests in a lawsuit can cost more than $1 million as companies sometimes need to hire extra staff to cull through records. "It's a very broken business process. Companies just don't have tools to do this in the right way," says Andrew Cohen, associate general counsel and compliance practice lead at EMC, the king of data storage hardware and software. "Sometimes the cost of discovery can be higher than whatever settlement ends up getting paid in a lawsuit." Seeing an opportunity, EMC this week rolled out an all-in-one "e-Discovery Solution" that combines EMC storage hardware, document management software and consulting services. The idea is to put a document storage infrastructure in place so that companies can find documents in less time. "We come at this in a proactive way, at a very high level," says Cohen. "We're saying you can save money by managing your information in a proactive and smarter way up front, by thinking about what information belongs in the repository and also by having the right tools to manage that information." Cohen, 41, knows first-hand how painful these discovery requests can be. For the past seven years he has been an associate general counsel at EMC, handling employment lawsuits and compliance issues. "We went through a lot of pain, and spent a lot of money just for data processing costs on some pretty routine discoveries. That got my attention," Cohen says. A year ago, Cohen changed hats and became a product manager of sorts, assembling a solution that EMC could sell to big corporations to help them manage legal discovery in a more efficient way. He says customers are eager to hear about EMC's solution. One of the first to sign up was MasterCard, the Purchase, N.Y.-based credit card issuer. For Hopkinton, Mass.-based EMC, the push into services is all part of an ongoing transformation which began in 2001, when industry veteran JosephTucciJoseph Tucci took over as chief executive. In the 1990s, EMC had boomed simply by selling giant storage boxes to customers who had a seemingly unlimited appetite for disk space. But in recent years, things have changed. Though companies are still adding data at a fast clip, they're now looking for more than just big boxes. They also need help managing vast repositories of data, which can reside in different places and on different media--some on tape, some on various kinds of disk-based systems. Toward that end, over the past few years, EMC has quietly transformed itself into a seller of services and software to go with its hardware. Since 2003, the company has spent $4 billion acquiring more than a dozen software companies, including Documentum, Legato and VMware. EMC also has created a 9,000-employee services division whose consultants help customers develop strategies for managing giant repositories of data. EMC calls this "information life cycle management." Tucci's push into software and services has paid off. In 2005, those two areas accounted for slightly more than 50% of EMC's overall revenues. Last year, EMC earned $1.1 billion on sales of $9.7 billion, up from $871 million on sales of $8.2 billion in 2004. Looking ahead, this year analysts expect EMC to reap revenues of just over $11 billion. -- ----------------- R. A.

speaking of weak primes, weak exponents?
by coderman 15 Mar '06

Qi Cheng is not aware of any further work on "A New Class of Unsafe Primes" - http://eprint.iacr.org/2002/109 , which was mentioned here recently (thanks Peter). not a big deal or something to be concerned about? (the speed improvement shown makes me think this should be a check performed for all prime selection in any pubkey system, even if it is unlikely) also curious if anyone has insight on the following as potential pitfalls to avoid when implementing / generating RSA: --- http://eprint.iacr.org/2006/093 "RSA and a higher degree diophantine equation ... Let $N=pq$ be an RSA modulus where $p$, $q$ are large primes of the same bitsize. We study the class of the public exponents $e$ for which there exist an integer $m$ with $1\leq m\leq {\log{N}\over \log{32}}$ and small integers $u$, $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ satisfying $$(e+u)Y^m-\psi(N)X^m=Z,$$ where $\psi(N)=(p+1)(q-1)$. First we show that these exponents are of improper use in RSA cryptosystems." --- http://eprint.iacr.org/2006/092 "Cryptanalysis of RSA with constrained keys ... We show that choosing a public key exponent $e$ for which there exist positive integers $X$, $Y$ such that $\left\vert eY-XF(u)\right\vert$ and $Y$ are suitably small, then the system is insecure." --- one last related item, large qubit quantum computers: --- http://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg05835.html bulk quantum computation Travis H. Here's a 1997 paper on "quantum computing in the large" that I had been asking about: http://www.media.mit.edu/physics/projects/spins/home.html "Neil Gershenfeld and Isaac Chuang have developed an entirely new approach to quantum computation that promises to solve many of these problems. Instead of carefully isolating a small number of qubits, we use a large thermal ensemble (such as a cup of coffee). Such a system has ~10^23 degrees of freedom; by applying RF pulses that excite nuclear magnetic resonances, we can create a tiny deviation from equilibrium that acts just like a much smaller number of pure qubits."

/. [PGP Creator's Zfone Encrypts VoIP]
by Eugen Leitl 15 Mar '06

Link: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/14/1842248 Posted by: CmdrTaco, on 2006-03-15 01:12:00 Philip Zimmermann, creator of PGP wrote in to tell me about [1]Zfone, his new system for encrypting any SIP VoIP voice stream. His first release is Mac & Linux only. I tested it with him using Gizmo as our client and it was pretty trivial to use. While it should work on most any SIP compatible VoIP client, he hopes that clients like OpenWengo and Gizmo will incorporate Zfone directly into the UI. Zfone has no centralization, and has been submitted to the IETF. He hasn't yet determined a license, but he believes strongly in releasing source code for all encryption products. A windows client is forthcoming.
