Does anyone have any pointers to info about the import/export restrictions on encryption products in various countries. I know any such summary would be very dynamic, but perhaps there's something out there. Thanks! =Bill=

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

One of the points of the Ebonics program is to recognize that other people don't always speak the same way you do, and that if you want to communicate with them, you'll be more successful if you realize it, understand when they're talking in their dialect, and if you're going to talk back to them in yours, remember to translate on occasion. _Regardless_ of whose dialect is "right" (of course on technical issues, we technical people are right, but if you've got the hacker nature, treat it as a problem in social engineering.......)

And the CDC is the Centers for Disease Control; and it has since found many, many prior cases of AIDS. These three minor errors are indicative of Attila's reliability of the subject. Of course, no one at CDC or NIH believes any of this crap; it was tired a decade ago. ObCrypto? How to implement RL anonymity protocols for medical treatment?

Cellular location...

Presented in a "this will help 911" context. Still disconcerting. [...] Companies working on the technology to track cellular phone calls have been given additional incentive with a Federal Communications Commission order that all cell phone service companies have location programs in place by the year 2001.

Re: [No Subject:]

Hi! It's useful to include a subject line in email so people can decide whether to read it and have more context for it, though calling yourself "fuck you" will probably deter a few people. There are lots of anarchists on the net; you can run into some good discussions on Usenet on several newsgroups with "anarchy" or "anarchism" in the titles. Rec.caves has good underground material...... As far as decryption tools goes, they're pretty closely related to encryption algorithms. There's been a discussion, probably on cryptography(a)c2.org (subscribe via cryptography-request(a)c2.org) though maybe it was on cypherpunks, about designing a screen-saver DES-cracker.
