I am ex-Navy and for military peronell it is made clear that anyone military or not that slanders, degrades, or in any way threatens or degrades the President (commander in chief) is subject to arrest, imprissionment and/or fines. Of course this usually doesnt happen cause only the real wacked out Clinton rules gov. employees would enforce this. But you never know!

SSL: The early days
by pgut001＠cs.auckland.ac.nz 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I've been trying to find information about the early days of SSL for a paper I'm writing, but I'm finding that someone's comment about the net having a collective memory of about 12 months seems to be true - there doesn't seem to be anything available going back more than a year or so. In particular I'm interested in: - Why/how/when did Netscape decide on SSL? - How long did it take to design the first version? - I've heard a rumour that when it was first presented at a conference, two people independantly broke it before the speaker sat down. Is this true, and what conference was it? The later work on SSL (an open design process, contributions from cryptographers and security experts, IETF standards-track work, etc etc) is well documented, but information on earlier work is hard to find. Does anyone have any pointers to information I could work from? Peter.

(So it looks, > there are still clues, eh?) I think (from memory) this is called "homoalphabetic". Encyclopaedia Brittanica (Cryptology - article by Gus Simmons) says that it is still vulnerable to frequencies of digraphs, trigraphs etc. But even Gauss was keen on it once. I guess it might have value as a part of another system, making a known plaintext into one of many. Whether it's worth the increased cyphertext size in a system you'd hope to be immune to known plaintext attacks anyway is another question. PA

SpamBot
by blane＠aa.net 17 Dec '03

Well, with all the other noise in the list lately, I'll add a little of my own. I woke up today to find my mailbox filled with 20 messages from a 'careernetonline.com' offering to spread my resume across the net for $60. It was one of those terrorist spams where they apologize for wasting your time and tell you that you can stop getting spammed by replying to the message. Well, I really hate giving in to terrorists, no matter what form they take. And I'm sick and tired of spam. So, I'm starting a project called SpamBot. You feed it a message and a list of addresses and the bot send the message to those addresses until they reply with an appropriate message indicating that they are at least looking into the problem. Some people may say that this is sinking to their level. So it is, but I think its time that system administrators realized that there are people who don't appreciate being the target for shotgun marketing schemes (none of which have been of any use to me). Watch my webpage for more info on this helpful little bot. Brian ------- <blane(a)aa.net> -------------------- <http://www.aa.net/~blane> ------- "Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice" - B.
