A moderated newsgroup can be set up such that messages coming from certain addresses can be required to be digitally signed. This requirement, of course, does not have to apply to all users and can be done on a voluntary basis. Anonymous users can also enjoy the benefits of authentication, if they submit their public keys to the moderator (with the key address set to something like space(a)alien.nowhere) and request that all messages coming with the address "space(a)alien.nowhere" be authenticated. This is a very positive aspect of moderated groups, since anonymous posters can enjoy both anonymity and reputation. The other concern here seems to be forgers who forge valid addresses of existing users. Again, a moderated group has a great flexibility to introduce SOME authentication without even the need for using public key cryptography. The moderator can set up a password-based system. Anyone can request a password sent to them by sending an email to password(a)moderation.site.com. A unique password will be generated, stored and sent back to the requestor. The address that had been assigned the password gets on the "watch list" and all article submissions from that address would be checked for presence of the password. Of course, a password needs to be wiped out from the message priot to teh approval. As long as email remains private (ie, there is no man in the middle or any sniffers acting), this scheme is secure. Again, it may be either purely voluntary or mandatory. Of course, anonymous users need special treatment since they are unable to receive email. Such users may continue to use PGP. igor

How about: To sub-s-c-r-ibe to the Cypherpunks Distributed Remailer is a little different than most mailing lists you may have experienced. The reason is that the list consists of several indipendent systems passing traffic from each system to the others. They use a mutualy agreed upon method for deleting multiple copies. Since all the remailers share a commen remailer package, namely Majordomo, they have a commen interface. The actual mechanism of sub-scr-ip-tion is to send 'majordomo@<system>' an email with 'sub-scr-ibe cypherpunks' in the body. As of <insert date here> the available <system> are: albegra.com ssz.com (human mailing list help is available at list(a)ssz.com) cyberpass.net [To avoid bias I suggest sorting alphabeticaly by domain and then system name] Jim Choate CyberTects ravage(a)ssz.com ----- End of forwarded message from owner-cypherpunks(a)algebra.com -----

Nym Servers

As well as active Cypherpunks mirrors, have there been many new nym servers coming into existance? Most of them seem to have been dying on the vine. Info on new or existing nym servers appreciated.

List of reliable remailers
by Raph Levien 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I operate a remailer pinging service which collects detailed information about remailer features and reliability. To use it, just finger remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu There is also a Web version of the same information, plus lots of interesting links to remailer-related resources, at: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~raph/remailer-list.html This information is used by premail, a remailer chaining and PGP encrypting client for outgoing mail. For more information, see: http://www.c2.org/~raph/premail.html For the PGP public keys of the remailers, finger pgpkeys(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu This is the current info: REMAILER LIST This is an automatically generated listing of remailers. The first part of the listing shows the remailers along with configuration options and special features for each of the remailers. The second part shows the 12-day history, and average latency and uptime for each remailer. You can also get this list by fingering remailer-list(a)kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu. $remailer{"extropia"} = "<remail(a)miron.vip.best.com> cpunk pgp special"; $remailer{"mix"} = "<mixmaster(a)remail.obscura.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek ksub reord ?"; $remailer{"replay"} = "<remailer(a)replay.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut post ek"; $remailer{"exon"} = "<remailer(a)remailer.nl.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"haystack"} = "<haystack(a)holy.cow.net> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"lucifer"} = "<lucifer(a)dhp.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"jam"} = "<remailer(a)cypherpunks.ca> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek"; $remailer{"winsock"} = "<winsock(a)rigel.cyberpass.net> cpunk pgp pgponly hash cut ksub reord"; $remailer{'nym'} = '<config(a)nym.alias.net> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"balls"} = "<remailer(a)huge.cajones.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"squirrel"} = "<mix(a)squirrel.owl.de> cpunk mix pgp pgponly hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"middle"} = "<middleman(a)jpunix.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek reord"; $remailer{'cyber'} = '<alias(a)alias.cyberpass.net> alpha pgp'; $remailer{"dustbin"} = "<dustman(a)athensnet.com> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek mix reord middle"; $remailer{'weasel'} = '<config(a)weasel.owl.de> newnym pgp'; $remailer{"reno"} = "<middleman(a)cyberpass.net> cpunk mix pgp hash middle latent cut ek reord ?"; $remailer{"wazoo"} = "<remailer(a)wazoo.com> cpunk mix pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"shaman"} = "<remailer(a)lycaeum.org> cpunk pgp hash latent cut ek"; $remailer{"hidden"} = "<remailer(a)hidden.net> cpunk pgp hash latent cut"; catalyst(a)netcom.com is _not_ a remailer. lmccarth(a)ducie.cs.umass.edu is _not_ a remailer. usura(a)replay.com is _not_ a remailer. remailer(a)crynwr.com is _not_ a remailer. There is no remailer at relay.com. Groups of remailers sharing a machine or operator: (cyber mix) (weasel squirrel) The alpha and nymrod nymservers are down due to abuse. However, you can use the nym or weasel (newnym style) nymservers. The cyber nymserver is quite reliable for outgoing mail (which is what's measured here), but is exhibiting serious reliability problems for incoming mail. The squirrel and winsock remailers accept PGP encrypted mail only. 403 Permission denied errors have been caused by a flaky disk on the Berkeley WWW server. This seems to be fixed now. The penet remailer is closed.

Supports Request-Remailing-To: field. eric A variant of the cpunk style. Uses Anon-Send-To: instead. penet The third class of remailers (at least for right now). Uses X-Anon-To: in the header. pgp Remailer supports encryption with PGP. A period after the keyword means that the short name, rather than the full email address, should be used as the encryption key ID. hash Supports ## pasting, so anything can be put into the headers of outgoing messages. ksub Remailer always kills subject header, even in non-pgp mode. nsub Remailer always preserves subject header, even in pgp mode. latent Supports Matt Ghio's Latent-Time: option. cut Supports Matt Ghio's Cutmarks: option. post Post to Usenet using Post-To: or Anon-Post-To: header. ek Encrypt responses in reply blocks using Encrypt-Key: header. special Accepts only pgp encrypted messages. mix Can accept messages in Mixmaster format. reord Attempts to foil traffic analysis by reordering messages. Note: I'm relying on the word of the remailer operator here, and haven't verified the reord info myself. mon Remailer has been known to monitor contents of private email. filter Remailer has been known to filter messages based on content. If not listed in conjunction with mon, then only messages destined for public forums are subject to filtering. Raph Levien
