Please DO NOT refer to our High Gain Omni Directional as Pipe Bomb
by Eugen Leitl 14 Mar '06

14 Mar '06

Tee-hee. Forwarded message: Subject: Immediate Action Required: Please DO NOT refer to our High Gain Omni Directional (ML-5299-HPA1-01 & ML-2499-HPA3-01/-02) as Pipe Bomb Importance: High Hi all: We had a recent reported incident where a partner carrying one of our omni directional antennas labeled Pipe Bomb was arrested at Orange County airport and led to the airport shutdown for some period of time. Homeland Security and TSA have been in touch with Anthony Bartolo regarding this incidence and we need to act promptly to prevent any future incidences. >From our end we have gone back checked with our supplier to ensure there isn't a Pipe Bomb reference in the product description, packaging or labeling and found that it is not the case. We have pulled products from our inventory and reviewed that we do not have refer to these products as pipe bombs anywhere. Our guess with this particular incidence is that the parts were re-labeled by the partner/end-user as a pipe bomb b referencing it as pipe bomb. When I do a Google search I find the following resellers using a description of Pipe Bomb with Symbol antenna products: 1) System ID- Part of Informatics. T. Ellis from System ID confirmed that they have cleaned up their website since the incidence. Google still shows the Pipe Bomb description and it may take a few days for them to update the description. 2) Direct Dial in Canada: Website needs to be cleaned up. David if you have contact within this firm.. can you personally reach out to make sure this happens quickly. I am sending this request to their generic customer service email id. 3) The Barcode Warehouse in UK: Ditto as 2 above. I would urge all Symbol associates to NOT refer to/label/mark these antennas as Pipe bomb in informal or formal communications. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

[Clips] Is Skype a haven for criminals?

Reply-To: rah(a)philodox.com Sender: clips-bounces(a)philodox.com <http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060217-6206.html> Is Skype a haven for criminals? 2/17/2006 1:10:55 PM, by Nate Anderson >From a law enforcement point of view, digital communication is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it allows for the simple collection, sorting, and processing of massive amounts of information (such as in the FBI's Carnivore system), but on the other hand, it is much easier for users to encrypt their communications with almost unbreakable codes. Now that VoIP calls are becoming commonplace, governments around the world are struggling to adapt to the new technology, and Skype has found itself under extra scrutiny. The reason is that Skype uses 256-bit, industry-standard AES encryption that is nearly impossible to break without the key. The Skype privacy FAQ explains the system this way: "Skype uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) - also known as Rijndael - which is also used by U.S. Government organizations to protect sensitive, information. Skype uses 256-bit encryption, which has a total of 1.1 x 10^77 possible keys, in order to actively encrypt the data in each Skype call or instant message. Skype uses 1024 bit RSA to negotiate symmetric AES keys. User public keys are certified by the Skype server at login using 1536 or 2048-bit RSA certificates." All Skype traffic is automatically encrypted end-to-end without requiring any user intervention, and this encryption is posing a problem to authorities who need (or want) to listen in on conversations. Skype executives state that their software is free of all backdoors, and a security researcher who saw some (but not all) of the code agrees. Still, the company claims that it "cooperates fully with all lawful requests from relevant authorities," which may mean that they turn over keys to governments upon request. The call can also be tapped once it leaves the Skype system and enters the normal telephone network, so calls to a landline are inherently insecure. Still, strong AES encryption is enough to defeat real-time surveillance of telephone calls of the kind possibly used by the NSA. That doesn't mean that nothing can be gleaned from watching the traffic, which can be used to identify who the call is routed to and how long it lasts, but it does mean the contents of the call remain secure. Rather than being a new issue for law enforcement, though, this is actually just a new version of an old problem: how to access encrypted data on a suspect's computer? Encryption algorithms have been good enough for some time to prevent all but the most determined brute force attacks, but there are obviously other ways of solving the problem. For the FBI, keyloggers are a popular choice; they obviate the need for backdoors or for sophisticated computer solutions. They simply steal the password. The same (metaphorical) approach may give them access to Skype calls; rather than breaking the encryption, they simply grab the key and decrypt the data. The FCC ruled last year that VoIP providers need to offer backdoors into their systems for wiretapping reasons, but Skype isn't based in the US and so is not subject to the rule. It is subject to the EU's new Data Retention Directive, though, which may require them to retain call logs and decryption keys for a period of time. If so, real-time monitoring of Skype calls would still be out, but after-the-fact review of recorded calls from people of interest might well be possible for the government. -- ----------------- R.

On being a cypherpunk
by Damian Gerow 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

For various reasons, what little faith I had left in the government has been whittled down to nill over the past year or so. And recent events (likely none of which any of you have heard of) have brought my faith in police to approximately the same level. Does this mean, after two years of semi-lurking, I'm on my way to becoming a cypherpunk? (As ASCII is not known for its ability to convey intent: I'm being facetious.)

Via unveils high performance mini-ITX line - C7 cores in production
by coderman 13 Mar '06

13 Mar '06

mmm, 4096 bit montgomery multiplier in core as MONTMUL instruction. SHA1 & SHA2-256 in core as XSHA instruction. in addition to the usual dual entropy sources and AES in core... see also http://www.via.com.tw/en/downloads/whitepapers/initiatives/padlock/programm… ---cut--- http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS3116742043.html Via unveils high performance mini-ITX line Mar. 13, 2006 Via has announced a next-generation family of mini-ITX boards based on its new C7 processor family. "Epia EN" boards will offer a large performance boost over previous Epia boards, Via says. They target thin clients, car PCs, robotics, medical equipment, kiosks, and server appliances. (Click for larger view of Via Epia EN) Initial Epia EN boards will feature C7 processors clocked at 1.5GHz, or else an "Eden" version of the C7 clocked at 1.2GHz, for passively cooled applications. Advanced features include support for 533/400MHz DDR2 RAM, gigabit Ethernet, and an onboard SATA II RAID 0, 1, and O+1 controller. A prototype Epia EN board based on a C7 processor (Click to enlarge) The EN-series will eventually offer models clocked to 2GHz, with frontside-bus speeds up to 800MHz, Via says. First C7-equipped mini-ITX boards from Via The Epia EN boards will be the first mini-ITX boards to feature Via's next-generation x86-compatible processors, the C7 desktop, C7-M mobile, and C7-Eden embedded processors. All three are based on the same "C5J Esther" core, with different testing requirements and packaging. Touted features of the C5J Esther core include support for SSE2 and SSE3 instructions, said to improve 3D performance; a full-speed FPU (floating point unit), rather than the half-speed unit of earlier Via chips; 16 pipeline stages; and 128KB each of L1 and L2 cache. The core also integrates Via's cryptography hardware. It has a die size of 30 square millimeters, and is manufactured by IBM using 90-namometer SOI (silicon-on-insulator) technology. C7 die layout (Click to enlarge) The C7-series chips have a TDP (thermal design power, aka maximum power draw) of 12 Watts when clocked at 1.5GHz, Via says -- or about half that of a Celeron-M. Additionally, the chips dissipate 20 Watts when clocked at 2GHz, Via says, and offer better performance-per-Watt than Intel's venerable Pentium M, it claims. C7 vs. Pentium M in performance-per-Watt (Source: Via) Via announced the C7 in May of last year -- see that announcement for lots more details about the chip. CN700 Northbridge Along with new C7 and C7-M processors, the Epia EN-series boards will use Via's relatively new CN700 chipset, which just began sampling in December. The chipset includes a new "CN700" northbridge, along with a VT8237-series southbridge connected through a V-link host controller. The C7 processor, CN700 northbridge, and VT8237-R southbridge function diagram (Click to enlarge) Claimed performance leap Benchmarking against older mini-ITX boards based on C3 processors shows the C7-based Epia EN-series boards to offer 55 percent better results on MPEG encoding, 40 better results on business productivity performance, and about 10 percent better results on 3D graphics performance tests, Via reports. C3 v. C7 benchmark results (Source: Via) In addition to better performance, and performance-per-Watt, Via says the EN-series boards are more reliable, thanks to low heat dissipation. They are not as dependent as most boards on mechanical cooling systems, and don't generate enough heat to damage board components, Via says. Other claimed features include: * ATX power * DDRII 400/533 memory socket * UDMA 66/100/133 connectors * CN700 Northbridge * VT8237R+ Southbridge * PCI connector * LVDS/DVI modules available * 6-channel audio * Switchable (jumpers) S/PDIF / S-Video port * PS-2 connectors * USB 2.0 * Gigabit Ethernet Availability Via has not announced specific EN-series board availability, but says that boards will be available at a variety of price points soon. ---end-cut---

Ontario cypherpunks students do what? :P ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Roger Dingledine <arma(a)mit.edu> Date: Mar 13, 2006 2:32 PM Subject: Tor wants to fund a few Ontario students To: or-announce(a)freehaven.net Hi folks, Thanks to Mike Gurski at Bell, the Tor project has some money to pay one or two students to help develop Tor. The strings are that they need to be students (of some sort) at a university in Ontario. If you know any outstanding students who can code well and have an interest in privacy/security, please pass this on to them. We want people who can work independently and write good code. We're ready to start whenever we find the right people. I'd like to find some Windows developers to help fill the gaps in our current skills, but if you know a brilliant developer I'm flexible. I've written up more details here: http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/OntarioStudent Thanks! --Roger -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEFfME61qJaiiYi/URAhLtAJwKALCBWoZZyTy9632sne6DwIpOOQCeM1Xs GrN8kBZSLcDcT4RKrLR90z8= =jHPR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
