FWD: new MIT SPKI software release

Go to http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~cis/sdsi.html and follow the software distribution links in the paragraph about SDSI/SPKI 2.0. Note that you must be a US or Canadian citizen, etc., to get this software. The following binary builds are available: sdsi20-0.4.0-sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4.tar.gz sdsi20-0.4.0-sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1.tar.gz sdsi20-0.4.0-i386-pc-solaris2.6.tar.gz sdsi20-0.4.0-i386-unknown-netbsd1.1.tar.gz sdsi20-0.4.0-mips-sgi-irix5.3.tar.gz An Intel Linux build will hopefully be available soon. These are all built from the source distribution: sdsi20-0.4.0.tar.gz As usual, many bugs were fixed in this release. See ChangeLog in the source distribution for the details. More general notes from the 0.4.0 README: Release 0.4.0 ------------- This code now requires (sequence )s to conform to the expected grammer in the structure-06 draft, i.e., it supports the macro "def" and "ref" mechanism, and, if threshold subject support is compiled in, the "process-threshold" mechanism. It will reject sequences that use the old (do hash ) or old (do k-of-n) directives. DSA support has been finished, and is compiled into the library by default. This means that SDSI2_FEATURE_STRUCTURE6_SIGS is defined by default; since this changes the grammar for signatures to match what is expected in the structure-06 draft, earlier signatures will break. See the applicable blurb in the 0.3.0 notes of the README for details. PGP support has been extended to handle what I believe to be the majority of PGP 5.0 keyrings. If your PGP private keyring uses IDEA or CAST5 with MD5 or SHA1 to seal the secrets, sdsi2sh should be able to read it. PGP DSA keys are fully supported. The SDSI distribution now includes MIT-written multi-precision integer and DES libraries. This means that you don't have to track down and compile GNU MP and Eric Young's libdes if you don't want to. If you do still want to compile with one or both of these other libraries, you can - see the main documentation for instructions on when you may want to, and how. The reduction code has been completely rewritten. It's separated out from sequences, in its own little internal API. You step a reduction with rules until you run out of them, and then you can get out the conclusion that results from those rules. It's possible to reduce a whole (sequence ) into its equivalent (cert ), or to just reduce two (cert )s into one. The cache API has changed considerably, to present the face of a generic S-expression cache. sdsi2_cache_add_search_term is a single function used for incrementally building a cache query, that works a lot more intuitively than the old add_search_.._term functions did. The actual cache format has not changed. The ugly story of unparsing S-expressions, or filling a sdsi2Sexp, has been completely retold. It is now possible to allocate a new sdsi2Stream, simply "push" canonical elements (like whole sdsi2Sexp *, sdsi2ByteString *, integers, etc.) onto it, and then just call sdsi2_sexp_parse to have it parse that into a new sdsi2Sexp. Two new commands have been added to sdsi2sh: "load" and "save" allow you to load a variable from and save a variable to a file.

Live At The CypherMore - SPACE ALIENS HIDE MY DRUGS!!!
by Linda Reed--PCC West Campus CSC 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Live At The CypherMore East - THEM...LIVE! - SAHMD!!! _____________________________________________________ Actually, the movie, produced in 1988, and released just in time to throw the Author into a hysterical state of Termial Paranoia, was called, "They Live, and still is. (called that, I mean). [EditWhore's Node: The reason the Author never bothers to go back and correct his spelling, syntax (whatever that is) and miscarriage-returns of linguistic justice, is that her mentor, who was as equally good a pitcher as she was a catcher, told her, "Never rewrite, the reader might be gaining on you."] It was a dark and normal night... Until the Author booted up SCO Xenix at 4 a.m. in a sleazy little motel room in ButtFuck, North Dakota. Then, as the Daemons, Zombies, Orphan Zombies and the dreaded Cron were released to wreak their havoc in ToshibaWorld, in the heart of the Author's 5200C portable computer, LadyLuck, not having a date for the evening, intervened to provide mitigating circumstances which would eventually become evidence in the Court Of Public Opinion as to the mitigating circumstances which needed to be considered before sentencing the Author to a lifetime of Hard Labor, trying to give birth to a new perceptive world-view paridigm in which WeTheSheeple felt perfectly comfortable returning a judgement of, "Guilty, by reason of insanity." (As well as a guilty verdict on the misdemeanor charge of, "I don't care if the people from the Justice Department *are* reaming you a new cornhole on my living room floor, I don't want you using that kind of language in front of my children.") For the Author, as his (or her...or their) mind began to break under the strain of trying to hold back the Forces of Evil that escaped from Bell Laboratories, hidden in the carry-on baggage of the Unix Operating System, the only hope of sanity seemed to lie in turning on the BoobTube (even though they visually bleep out the naked boobs on TV in North Dakota), and trying to defend HimOrHer self with the technological opiate of the asses...Gilligan's Island. It was not to be... Instead, despite the fact that TV goes off the air around 10 p.m. in the smaller northern states, the Author found himself finding himself foundering in a flow of Taoist synchronicity which goes far beyond the temporal concerns of everyday life, resulting in him living a schizophrenic existence, torn between Arizona and Saskatchewan, neither of which adheres to the Daylight Saving Time standard that decent, God-fearing Americans and Canadians hold sacred, whereupon the movie, "They Live" sprung on to the Midget Silver Screen sitting atop a faded yellow table with cigarette burns around the edges, completely out of visual harmony with the vile-green colored rug with a multitude of cigarette burns dotting its nearly threadbare surface. The Author found HimOrHerSelf battling the Mutant Monsters created by 'our engineers' talking to 'their engineers' (without ever managing to discover why your hard drive only crashes just before your job-performance review), as well as simultaneously drinking in the sights and sounds of a movie showing on a TV set which had not yet been plugged in--a movie in which a pair of "men who love men, every now and then" [WAS: Male Bonding In America - I Think Some People Are Going Just A Little Too Far] found themselves, on a dark and stormy night [(c) Snoopy], discovering a box of dark glasses which enabled them to see the scum- sucking aliens living in humanity's midst, without our knowledge. The Author, for the first time realizing the dire warning hidden in ZZ Top's classic musical offering, 'Cheap Sun Glasses,' decided that, given the fact that the theme of his last music album, "Please! Stop Me Before I Sing Again," had been embraced by the music-loving public to such a degree that he was hounded out of the industry, SheOrHe's only realistic course of action, in order to warn others about the frightening dangers to be found lurking within the heart of the Unix Operating System, was to use the Medium to proclaim the Message (even though, according to Marshal McClueHandLuke, they are identical twins, although in a microcosm-macrocosm sort of way, like Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwartzenager). Thus was born, "The Xenix Chainsaw Massacre - The True Story Of The InterNet - Part I." The rest is history... Well, not *all* of it is history, since we are currently writing some of it, now...which you are reading...now. And the rEvolution is NOW!, too, so... Lying Awake In Bed At 4 a.m. Burning Question #38679: "Was the <Pg Up> key invented by a sorry, drunken asshole who could never keep track of the point he was trying to make?" Wait here, I'll be back... <Pg Up> <Pg Up> <Pg Up> <Pg Down> <Pg Down> <Enter> "Shit!" <BackSpace> <BackSpace> <BackSpace> "Fuck! Godamnn it!" 'o' <Enter> <Pg Down> OK, like I was saying... MultiMedia... The Author, in 1989, had discovered and explored the first, true VirtualRealityMultiMediaExperience, in which HeOrShe could no longer distinguish between the Medium, the Message, the Meaning, the MeanderingMind, or the voices inside her head which told her that the Messages From Mars coming through the fillings in her teeth were FUD, disseminated by an insurance sales activist with a hidden agenda. Worried about the fact that some egoistical, elitist fuckwad might, at some point in the future, try to claim credit for the Author's discovery of MultiMedia, HeOrShe set Stanley's WayBack Machine to a point which corresponded to the exact Time-Space-Mind equivalent of the Nadir Point between alpha and omega, and could distinctly hear Tim C. May <tcmay(a)got.net> hollering, "I'm going to write about MultiMedia in the CypherPunks archives on the first day the list exists, and you will *never* get credit for the concept." The Author, realizing that the preceeding makes little sense, suddenly realized that all HeOrShe really wanted to point out in this chapter is that, despite the fact that it is a B-grade movie in which Meg Foster never shows her tits, the movie 'They Live' speaks a Truth which needs to be understood by any individual who professes an interest in journeying beyond an imaginary world-view in which he believes that buying the Jeep seen sitting on top of the mountain peak will really result in him getting to fuck the living shit out of the large-breasted blonde bombshell lying across the hood of the vehicle. (Or, alternatively, her thinking that purchasing New Lemon Joy Dish Detergent will really lead to her lifemate doing his share of the dishes, and becoming more romantic, instead of just humping her and then rolling over and going to sleep.) ONE-TIME OFFER!!! [NOT TO BE REPEATED IN THE FUTURE] Any 'True Story of the InterNet' reader who undertakes to watch, and believe the message of, 'They Live', is hereby Officially Absolved of any guilt they may feel in the future, over automatically deleting any post sent to the CypherPunks Disturbed Male LISP by the Author, despite any uneasy feeling they may have that HeOrShe, in spite of the obvious lunacy inherent the MeatSpace Manifestation of the maunuscripts, is truly from the GovernmentHomeForTheCriminallyInsane, and is here to Help (TM) them...

Earn $100 every time OUR phone rings...
by aytsd9238＠sprynet.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

ALL YOU DO IS ADVERTISE THIS 800 NUMBER! THAT'S ALL!! $100 goes to you for EVERY sale that the company closes! Does the idea of making at least $1,000 per week beginning your 2nd week of doing business excite you? How about never having to sell a thing to your customer and never having to talk to ANYONE to make money? I don't know how this could get any easier. EVERY aspect of selling or talking to someone is DONE COMPLETELY by the company! The number one home based business for the 2nd year in a row, Top Secrets is a member of the Better Business Bureau and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. WHAT THIS BUSINESS WILL DO FOR YOU: * Handles all your calls, closes your sales, and sends you WEEKLY commission checks! * It pays you a $100 commission (that's over 50% of the total sale) for EVERY sale. CHECKS put $$$ in your pocket in less than your first week or two... Quick commission earnings build and maintain motivation. ALL YOU DO IS ADVERTISE the toll-free number and your ID number. * You can get STARTED TODAY. Just advertise the business toll-free number with your ID # and let this business CLOSE YOUR SALES every day... They do all the work and YOU GET PAID FOR IT! * You may advertise any way you choose: Bulk E-Mail, Flyers, Classifieds, Postcards, etc. Suppose you use bulk E-Mail, as I am: 100,000 E-Mails with a 1/10th of a percent (0.1%) sales rate at $100 per sale nets $10,000... not too bad. There is nothing else out there that will provide you with an immediate income beginning THIS WEEK with minimal effort. Before you call, I want you to think about the quality of the live operators handling your call. I am convinced you will not find a better team of closers for your own personal sales. You will clearly understand what I am talking about once you call. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS PASS YOU BY. MAKE THE CALL!! 1-800-811-2141 You will be asked for ID #56130 when you call. (Live operators are available from 8 AM-10 PM CST Monday through Saturday and will be able to answer any questions you may have.) Call one of the 24hr TESTIMONIAL lines at 888-703-5389, 888-446-6949, 888-446-6951 or 888-731-3457 (all toll free).
