True Names
by Jonathan Corbet 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I was wandering around in Amazon Books, http://www.amazon.com/, when I stumbled across an interesting entry for Vernor Vinge: "True Names: And the Opening of the Cyberspace Frontier". It's due out in August. It would appear that True Names is finally being reissued? Since I've never been able to get my hands on a copy of True Names to read, I would be pleased by this. Anybody know any more? jon Jonathan Corbet National Center for Atmospheric Research, Atmospheric Technology Division corbet(a)stout.atd.ucar.edu http://www.atd.ucar.edu/rdp/jmc.html

Faxes are forwarded via Mime. Cheap. Also someone else offering fax and voicemail over the web in Atlanta but I lost that URL. Others should follow. DCF

Such a list could be published openly in any case since discussing techniques of tax fraud is legal. Even advocay would be legal in almost all cases. (Since tax fraud is a non-violent crime, you don't have any of these 'agitating an angry mob' scenarios.) As long as you avoided conspiring with anyone, you can discuss techniques all you like. Some *participants* might like to subscribe anonymously however. DCF

[hrdware] anti-Tempest video settings
by Jean-Francois Avon 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Hi again. Is there anybody that have any idea about a color setting that would make it more difficult to detect by a Tempest attack? (I assume that Tempest cannot discriminate between various color guns and signals in the monitor... Maybe I am completely wrong...) Like, for example : background: G255 B0 R0 text: G0 B255 R0 Theses colors are not that bad to look at. I realize that Tempest is sensitive to actual electrical values rather than logical values. Anybody has any idea about settings that could fool Tempest? Crypto Relevancy: I was writing a passphrase file to later be secsplitted and I suddenly got all sweaty and nervous ... :-) Ciao all JFA PGP key ID# C58ADD0D at: http://w3.citenet.net/users/jf_avon Key Fingerprint: 529645E8205A8A5E F87CC86FAEFEF891 Unsollicited commercial e-mail will be proofread at US165 $/h Any sender of such material will be considered as to have ac- cepted the above mentionned terms.

When I was a teenager I read /The Great Impostor/, the autobiography of Fred Demara(sp?). It was an eye-opener. Demara posed as all sorts of people. He didn't read any books on the subject of identity, he just invented his own techniques. Because he was always learning, he was always getting caught. Each failure, however, just made his next effort that much better. Read it if you can find it; it's facinating. S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Re: Mandatory Voluntary Self-Ratings

From: IN%"vznuri(a)netcom.com" "Vladimir Z. Nuri" 11-MAY-1996 03:38:35.85 >the idea with the rating system is that the rating signs the signature >of the page, which is itself digitally hashed or something. in other >words, the rating is on the "state" of a page at some time. the system >would at least be able to detect a change in the state of a page, >and inform the user that a rating may no longer be valid due to obsolescence. >but you are correct that page changes are probably more problematic >for market ratings than self-ratings. One wonders what their hashing method would be. If it's not very cryptographically secure, one could (via selection of image file names, comments, etcetera) cause it to be the same hash for a very different set of images. (A Fun With Animals page from riding lesson photos to bestiality, for instance.) >2. will self-ratings be deliberately misused by people protesting the >system? will it be a problem? And how are you defining "misuse"? If the system is not good, then rating something differently than how the system says it should be is using it properly, not improperly. -Allen
