How do I use the Encrypt-Key: header to include a reply block in an anonymous posting? I've tried for a few days now, and I can't seem to make it work.

Public key authentication could go a long way toward solving the military and contractor's security problems. However, they won't use public key authentication for unclassified systems until it is available in "COTS" (Commercial, Off The Shelf) software. And it won't be available there until it can be exported as well as sold domestically.

RE: AT&T bans anonymous messages

fortunately there's still such a ting as freedom of choice: use another ISP. There's no reason why ATT can't forbid anything they want on their service.

Leahy vs. Landers
by jya＠pipeline.com 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Thanks to MF: The Washington Post, June 24, 1996. Dear Ann Landers: You have recently printed letters from people whose spouses have left them for people they met on the Internet. As a 55-year-old who has been happily married for 33 years, I am living proof that the vast majority of us Internet fans use our computers to browse newspapers, see the treasures of the Sistine Chapel, check the weather in Vermont or read the latest Batman comic. I think your readers should be assured that almost all Americans on-line have no intention of stealing someone else's spouse or leaving their own. Just as reckless and irresponsible drivers should not ruin it for drivers who act responsibly, neither should a few bored Web crawlers foul up the Internet for the rest of us. -- Sen. Patrick Leahy (D Vt.) Dear Pat: You are a superb senator. Vermont is lucky to have you. As an advice columnist, however, you aren't so hot. Granted, most Web crawlers are fairly decent people, but many are not interested in the Sistine Chapel or Batman. The Internet is tailor-made for con men, the lonely and the bored. The word from here is beware. More on this subject tomorrow. [Ann's two letters today exemplify the grief and joy of betrayal and love on the Net.] Questions may be sent to: Ann Landers, c/o Creators Syndicate, 5777 W. Century Blvd., Suite 700, Los Angeles, Calif. 90045.

So all you have to do is copy the whole statement, delete the offending passages, and mail it to your ISP as a counter offer to their proposed contract. You can explicitly disclaim the language you don't like. This sets up a long and interesting negotiation process during which you can try to get them to define what they mean by the terms. Since they haven't defined any of this stuff (indecency?) it's all kind of meaningless. Businesses usually won't cut you off over a mere refusal on your part to accept a contract. They wait for an overt act. Might even work in the case of someone like me who pays AT&T $2K/month or more. Then you can get a real ISP. I have found that if you are well-behaved in a social sense, you can get away with all sorts of controversial stuff. I kept firearms in my college dorm just because I argued my RA into ignoring same (he had bows and hunting arrows). He knew I wasn't a psycho. I expect that AT&T will ignore what you do unless it kicks back to them so use them for net access but don't use them for mail. Run your own mail server or keep a shell account somewhere else. DCF

RFD: Developing Nations and crypto (based on excertp from Edupag

An interesting possibility: information tech expands and 'centers' in third-world/developing countries, since (1) they need to skip industrial techs to catch up to N.America, Europe, etc. (2) they aren't bogged down in older ways of doing business, communicating, etc. (3) 'emerging democracies' might embrace crypto tech as a safeguard against Orwellian practices, to use digital authentication to protect from fraud, etc. (4) cheaper costs for rent, wages, etc. [though in many cases exploitavily cheap] may outweigh building an infrastructure from scratch, (5) building an infrastructure from scratch has advantages of building in flexibility towards uses that were not built into older structures in N.Am, Eur., etc. (6) desire for investment (7) desire for skills or tech to drive education etc. in region ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- From: Edupage Editors <educom(a)elanor.oit.unc.edu> [..] DEVELOPING NATIONS SEE BRIGHT FUTURE IN SMART CARDS When it comes to full-scale trials of smart card technology, developing countries such as Zambia and Thailand are way ahead of the U.S. The new payment systems are finding greater acceptance in countries where traditional banking practices are not so firmly entrenched.

Alternic.net (was domain zapping)
by William Knowles 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

With all the talk about InterNIC zapping domains, there should be some talk about other registries, Alternic.net : http://www.alternic.net is offering an alpha test for registering new TLD's and the prices are considerably less expensive than the Internic. William Knowles erehwon(a)c2.org finger for public key --Fwd-- A L T E R N I C . N I C Is proud to announce .NIC! The folks at alternic.nic (formerly alternic.net) are proud to announce alpha testing of the .NIC top level domain name served up by: MX.ALTERNIC.NIC at 204.94.42.1 Other names are served by .NIC... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * ALTERNIC.NIC is being built to create a truly PUBLIC Network information center, for the benefit of all, on and off the net. * ALTERNIC.NIC is broadcast to disseminate information on Internet related issues, and to research new ideas on promoting the Internet. * ALTERNIC.NIC will promote the concept of Top Level Domainsi, and the de-centralization of name service. To this end, ALTERNIC.NIC will accept registrations for .NIC top level domains, as well as for administration of new top level domains. For now ALTERNIC.NIC will accept the existance of and promote a limitted number of top level domains. It should be recognized that at this point the concept of TLD diversification is EXPERIMENTAL. * ALTERNIC.NIC Will accept new TLDs or domain names which fit the following criteria: o The TLD or domain name must not already be registered. o DNS must be active for any TLD or domain names. o Payment of fees must be made to ALTERNIC.NET in advance. o Disputes between name holders may be handled several ways: + Release of domain name rights by existing name holder. If you want a name that's already registered, offer to buy the holder's rights. + ALTERNIC.NET will honour court orders from the jurisdiction which the domain name is currently registered in. + Sue ALTERNIC.NET. We're a privately held company, and do as we please. If you'd like to serve us with papers, it's dba A Towing Company, Inc., a Corporation registered with the Secretary of State of Washington State, USA. Of course, we'll have our corporate attorney counter-sue, and you can do it on our turf, OK --End Fwd--
