[Clips] Harry Browne Dies

Hettinga" <rah(a)shipwright.com> Subject: [Clips] Harry Browne Dies Reply-To: rah(a)philodox.com Sender: clips-bounces(a)philodox.com <http://www.freemarketnews.com/WorldNews-Print.asp?nid=8666> - Free Market News Network FMNN OFFICER HARRY BROWNE DIES Thursday, March 02, 2006 - FreeMarketNews.com Harry Browne, former president of Free Market News Network, Corp., has died at home after a long illness. Mr. Browne, a best-selling author and Libertarian political star, was a leading force in FMNN's energetic growth in the mid 2000s; his television program, This Week in Liberty, routinely attracted praise for its moral clarity and political lucidity. In 1996 and 2000, Mr. Browne was the nominee of the Libertarian Party for President of the United States. He also served as Director of Public Policy for the DownsizeDC.org, and as a consultant to the Permanent Portfolio family of mutual funds. Throughout the mid and late-20th century, he was a popular public speaker who appeared on the Today show, Wall $treet Week, The Larry King Show, and hundreds of other national and local radio and television shows. Mr. Browne was little known in the investment world when his first book, How You Can Profit from the Coming Devaluation, was published in 1970. Recognizing the disastrous monetary policy of the U.S. government, he warned that the dollar would be devalued, inflation could be severe, and gold, silver, and foreign currencies should skyrocket in value. The book's theme clashed with the prevailing wisdom, but it struck a chord with tens of thousands of Americans, and the book made the New York Times bestseller list. This was only the first of a number of Harry Browne bestsellers. In late 1994, Browne announced his Libertarian candidacy for president and received 485,759 votes on Election Day, the second highest total in Libertarian Party history. In 2000, he was again nominated to represent the Libertarian Party and garnered more than 382,000 votes, despite a tight race between the two major parties. -- ----------------- R. A.

Usable encryption facilitates intuitive policy, rather than explicit per item encipher/decipher, sign/validate hassles

"I habitually send most of my email securely, but I don't think about it. My robots take care of it for me. I tune policies, I don't encrypt messages." - Jon if you have to wrap the major key formats and uses into a single bundle, so that a pre-generated user identity which contained keys in formats applicable to any application the user might employ, what would this bundle/list look like? [let's avoid trust models and specifics of key utilization for a higher level OS/application discussion. for now i want to focus on just what set of common types would serve the usual OS/application needs in some form so that a single user/resource identity can be created for use with lots of different "robots" further down the line / as needed. note that in many cases some of these keys would never be used depending on the trust model employed and the applications utilized.] currently i'm aware of the following covering most bases but i know i'm missing some: - nonce/guid -> 512 bits of entropy from /dev/random (NOTE: when is BSD going to turn /dev/random back into a true entropy source rather than the deceptive alias for /dev/urandom?) - gpg key pair -> DSA and Elgamal, gpg --gen-key ... - gpg key -> RSA sign only, gpg --gen-key ... - shared encryption secret -> 256 bits of entropy from /dev/random - shared auth secret -> 256 bits of entropy from /dev/random - openssl root CA key -> openssl req -x509 -new -keyout ca.key -out ca.crt ... - openssl dh parameters -> openssl dhparam ... - openssl entity key (signed by root CA) -> openssl req ... && openssl ca ... - ssh rsa key: ssh-keygen -t rsa ... - ssh dsa key: ssh-keygen -t dsa ... - ssh moduli: ssh-keygen -G ... && ssh-keygen -T ... - off the record user state: otrl_userstate_create(); what else would you add to this list? ---cut--- http://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg05822.html Re: NPR : E-Mail Encryption Rare in Everyday Use Jon Callas Tue, 28 Feb 2006 11:45:54 -0800 I have to chime in on a number of points. I'll try to keep commercial plugs to a minimum. * An awful lot of this discussion is some combination of outdated and true but irrelevant. For example, it is true that usability of all computers is not what it could be. But a lot of what has cruised by here is similar to someone saying, "Yes, usability is atrocious -- here, look at this screenshot of Windows 3.1." Someone else pipes up, "You think that's bad, let me show you this example from the Xerox Alto. What*ever* were they thinking?" And then someone else says, "Yeah, and if you think that's bad, look at what 'ls' did in Unix V6!" Then when someone else says, "Y'know, I'm using the latest version of Firefox, and it's actually pretty good" the next message says, "But what about the Y2K issues, and what happens when in 2038?" I swear, guys, this thread is the crypto version of the Monty Python "Luxury" sketch. * Whitten and Tygar is a great paper, but it was written ages ago on software that was released in 1997. Things aren't perfect now, but let's talk about what's out there now. Even at the time, one of Whitten's main points is how hard it is to apply usability to security, because of how odd it is. As a very quick example, in most forms of user design, you let exploration take a prominent place. But it doesn't work in security because you can't click undo when you do something you didn't intend. * There are new generations of crypto software out there. I produce the PGP products, and PGP Desktop and PGP Universal are automatic systems that look up certs use them, automatically encrypt, and even does both OpenPGP and S/MIME. They're not perfect, and lead to other amusing issues. For example, an hour ago, I was coordinating with someone that I'm meeting at a conference. I got a reply saying, "I'm at the airport and can't decrypt your message from my phone." I hadn't realized that I *had* encrypted my message, because my system and my colleague's system had been doing things for us. I habitually send most of my email securely, but I don't think about it. My robots take care of it for me. I tune policies, I don't encrypt messages. If you don't want to use my products, as Ben Laurie pointed out, there's a very nice plugin for Thunderbird called Enigmail that makes doing crypto painless. * There are also new generations of keyservers out there that work on the issues of the old servers to trim defunct keys, and manage other issues. I have out there the PGP Global Directory. Think of it as a mash-up of a keyserver along with Robot CA concepts and user management goodness adapted from modern mailing list servers like Mailman. * A number of us are also re-thinking other concepts such as using short-lived certificates based on the "freshness" model to constrain lifecycle management issues. * There are many challenges remaining. Heck, the fact that people here apparently have not updated their knowledge any time this century is part of the problem. But let me tell you that email encryption is growing, and growing strongly. However, most of the successes are not happening where you see them. They're happening in business, where communities of partners decide they need to do secure email, and then they do. This is another place where things have changed radically. A decade ago, we thought that security would be a grass-roots phenomenon where end-users and consumers would push security into those stodgy businesses. What's happening now is the exact opposite -- savvy businesses are putting together sophisticated security systems, and that's slowly starting to get end-users to wake up. I'd be happy to discuss at length where things are getting better, where they aren't, and where some issues have been shuffled around. But we do need to talk about what's going on now, not ten years ago. Jon ---end-cut---
