Conrad Burns will reintroduce next week his measure to substantially eliminate export restrictions on computer encoding technology, a spokesman for the Senator says. "We are aiming for the 28th (of January) and it will be the same bill as last year," Matt Raymond, spokesman for the Montana Republican, said. President Clinton signed an executive order in November slightly relaxing export controls on encryption technology -- computer programs that use mathematical formulas to scramble information and render it unreadable without a password or software "key." But many in Congress and the computer industry have said the new Clinton policy did not go far enough to lift the Cold War era export limits that classified most encryption programs as munitions.

Cypher-Oops!

I was just wondering if the CypherPunks list is now the only list that has an Administrative introduction for list members that could not be posted in full to the list-proper, as it contains a flame against an individual. Toto

Intresting.... Does a single flame make a flamer?? I have in the past been involved in heated arguments on just about every list/newsgroup I have been involved in. :) I think this goes back to the topic of reputation capital. IMHO the occational message that get's droped into the 'flames list' would have little effect on ones reputation. While a complete ban all of ones posting or even a majority of ones posts making it to the 'flames list' could/would have a detrimtal effect. Hmmmm... Actually there could be an intresting side affect of a moderated list to a posters reputation. Lets take the following example: John Doe likes posting rants & flames 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time he posts intelegent messages. Now on an un-moderated list a majority of subscribers would get tierd of his rants, write him off as a kook and kill-file him. His 10% of intelegent posts would be lost in the 90% of noise and his reputation would be adversly effected within the group. Now on a moderated list the 90% of rants & flames would never be seen by the list only the other 10%. His would wind up having a much higher reputation among the group compaired to if all his posts were seen. I am not quite sure how to judge this effect. Should one take into account the kooky behavior of a poster when veiwing his 'non kooky' posts? Does moderation have a detrimental effect to establishing a reputation based system for a group (how would Don Woods reputation faired if his rant's on OTP's & ISP had been filtered out?) > It is obvious that some of the more intuitively intelligent list >members are aware of this, as is indicated by the nervous fear with >which they 'explain why' their post is crypto-relevant. IMHO this is sheepish though I have noticed it before moderation started. If I have somthing to post to the list I see no reason to justify why I am posting it. This post I am making now has zero crypto-relevance and I make no appoligies for it. Do I think it is relevant to the list? Yes otherwise I would not have posted it. Either way no explination for the post is needed. - -- - ----------------------------------------------------------- William H.

Mailcrypt nym.alias.net support
by Jeremey Barrett 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- For those of you who use mailcrypt (Emacs-PGP interface) for email, I have hacked in support for pseudonyms ala nym.alias.net. In fact, the code has nym.alias.net hardcoded for now. I'm gonna add more stuff, but I'm just letting this out as is. This patch affects mailcrypt.el and mc-remail.el. I made these changes to mailcrypt 3.4, so your mileage may vary on other versions. I did this after the C2 party tonight, so typos and bugs are possible. Please email me if bugs are found. "This value is not configureable" does not qualify, I know it's not configureable yet. (BTW there are a couple functions not used, I was doing it one way, then changed my way of thinking, but the code is ok so I left it.) Installing it: o cd to your lisp directory o cat /path/to/the/patch | patch -p0, or something similar (You will need to pgp this message before extracting the patch to get rid of the leading "- " on some lines.) o recompile the .el files, ala: emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile mc-remail.el emacs -batch -f batch-byte-compile mailcrypt.el Using it: o You _must_ have a remailer chain defined. This does not work with a single remailer (though a chain of length 1 might work). o Compose a message or reply as normal. Once you are done (the message would go out without nyms or remailers or anything if you hit C-c C-c), hit C-c / n. o The first question asks for a remailer chain, it will do completions. o The second question asks for the name of your nym. This is assumed to be @nym.alias.net, DO NOT include @nym.alias.net. If your nym is jimbob(a)nym.alias.net, just answer jimbob. This does not do completions at the moment. Putting your nym in your .emacs file is a bit weird anyway. o You will be asked for a signature for your nym's private key. o The message will be rewritten to send(a)nym.alias.net and then to the remailer chain you chose. o Send it. Hack the code at will, if you make significant enhancements, please email patches to me. Of course there is no warranty of any sort, if it blows up your machine you're out a machine. I will put this on my web page (http://www.veriweb.com/people/jeremey) for those that prefer that. Ok, here's the patch: - ---------------------------------cut here----------------------------------- *** mailcrypt.el Tue Oct 10 12:33:45 1995 - --- /usr/home/jeremey/PGP/mailcrypt-3.4/mailcrypt.el Sat Jan 25 02:45:27 1997 *************** *** 51,56 **** - --- 51,57 ---- (autoload 'mc-sign "mc-toplev" nil t) (autoload 'mc-insert-public-key "mc-toplev" nil t) (autoload 'mc-remailer-encrypt-for-chain "mc-remail" nil t) + (autoload 'mc-remailer-encrypt-for-nym "mc-remail" nil t) (autoload 'mc-remailer-insert-response-block "mc-remail" nil t) (autoload 'mc-remailer-insert-pseudonym "mc-remail" nil t) *************** *** 101,107 **** (define-key mc-write-mode-map "\C-c/b" 'mc-remailer-insert-response-block) (define-key mc-write-mode-map "\C-c/p" !
