mccain remailer backlog
by Antonomasia 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Owing to a huge pile of mail messages on Monday (and perhaps my effort to process them faster by running smap without smapd) some messages to mccain have had the following destinations: ordinary inbox, bypassing procmail procmail to the wrong recipe, (you may have received an info message) For both of the above I still have the mail in a backlog of about 200 messages that will be getting sent RSN. I am unable to determine whether any mail was lost. Sorry about the possibility of this, and the delay some messages are experiencing. I have increased the POOLSIZE of mccain from 3 to 4, and reduced the RATE from 100 to 90. The tea remailer does not seem to have hit the same problem, perhaps attracting less traffic by lower performance stats. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: noconv iQCVAgUBNHtuGUrZ5ZQH9XIxAQEaqQP9GUptYlg4j5gO7pBdijia+S+EDmqcvsli kuiisTaDVMxhW93v0rIGv92bUcI/Mx16DuZH+1o7VJ3LpounHwV8yXbfpiD8yHOz fzepEayfj+egwa0ldmg8jHjtbSrupPMYVSKmqotdMJetwjsu0AlLnHzjBnd8QELb 8CaT7eHwAyM= =dvxO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ############################################################## # Antonomasia ant(a)notatla.demon.co.uk # # See http://www.notatla.demon.co.uk/ # ##############################################################

You can supply the cumulative hash of all the material before the quoted part, then the quotation itself, which goes all the way to the end of the document. From this the hash of the whole document can be calculated, and the signature checked. A more general approach calculates the document hash in a line oriented way. Normally we start at the top and work down through the document to get the hash, which is signed. Instead, we would calculate a hash for each line of the document separately, and then combine them using a tree. In the example above hashes would be calculated for lines 1-13. Call these H1A - H13A. Then second level hashes could be calculated by taking H1A through H13A in pairs: H1B = hash(H1A,H2A) H2B = hash(H3A,H4A) H3B = hash(H5A,H6A) ... H6B = hash(H11A,H12A) H7B = H13A We repeat this until we have one hash for the whole document: H1C = hash(H1B,H2B) H2C = hash(H3B,H4B) H3C = hash(H5B,H6B) H4C = H7B H1D = hash(H1C,H2C) H2D = hash(H3C,H4C) H1E = hash(H1D,H2D) We sign the final hash, H1E. Now you can extract a paragraph, say lines 6 and 7 above. The hashes H6A and H7A can be calculated from this. Supply the other hashes needed to calculate the final hash: H5A, H8A, H1C, H2D, will be enough. This will allow calculating H1E and the signature can be verified. The required number of hashes will generally be logarithmic in the size of the missing part of the document.
