WaJo 8-20-97: High Tech 'n' Terrorists: Clancy Signs 24-Book Deal New York - Best-selling author Tom Clancy signed a 24-paperback deal with a division of Penguin Putnam Inc. that is expected to be announced today, according to people close to the deal. Berkley Publishing Group is paying an advance of approximately $22 million according to these people. The series, set in the near future, will include six adult and 18 juvenile novels. Berkley will publish the series, "Tom Clancy's Netforce," over the next four to six years. In the books, the Internet and virtual reality have melded so that people spend most of their time on-line. The technology proves irresistible to terrorists and anticomputer zealots, who are pursued by the Netforce. The agreement comes on the heels of another deal Mr. Clancy recently made with Penguin, a unit of London media company Pearson PLC. Pearson this month announced a long-term agreement with Red Storm Entertainment Inc., a media-entertainment company founded by Mr. Clancy and Virtus Corp., an interactive-applications concern. Under that agreement, Penguin, along with other Pearson subsidiaries, will join Red Storm to market multiplayer on-line games and other multimedia products.

Federal sentencing guidelines are irrelevant in political cases. For example the survivors of the Waco massacre were found guilty of trivial technicalities, and then sentenced as if they had been found guilty of murdering federal agents. All appeals have been denied. Indeed it appears to be standard practice, that if a political criminal is charged with both trivial crimes of which he (and everyone else) is guilty, and extremely serious crimes, of which he is obviously innocent, he will be convicted on the trivia, and sentenced on the accusations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

coercion proof timestamping services
by Adam Back 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Just some thoughts about creating more robust time-stamping services. Current time stamping services just generate a PGP key, and sign any messages you send them. PGP signatures already include a time stamp. Problem: if we find some interesting uses for time-stamps where it becomes important that no one can coerce the timestamping service into back-signing timestamps in the past, the current timestampers will be able to comply, or as they are automated services, simply confiscating the machine will likely give the attacker all information required to back date any number of time-stamps. One solution to this is for the time-stamper to publish all time-stamps (they are quite small being detached signatures), and publish a siganature on all the time-stamps stored in one file each day. Perhaps even publish the signature in a newspaper. Anyone with that newspaper, or an archive of the master signature only, will be able to verify any claimed time-stamps -- the publically published hash (in the signature) must match the time-stamps archived for that day. Another way is perhaps to have a sequence of keys for signing time-stamps on each day, and to discard the private key after that day. Authenticate the use-for-one-day-only keys by signing with a long term key. If people archive daily keys, the coercion of timestamping service will be detected if it attempts to publish a daily key for some date in the past, and the timestamping service can't sign with old keys as it has purposely discarded the private halves.

First let me tell you that we appreciate all of the letters of support that you have sent. During the many days of confusion, your kind letters help us to remain focused on the tasks at hand. Our company ShadowSoft, Inc. publishes Public Records CDs and we specialize in consulting or contracting with databases (preferably large databases). ShadowSoft was approached around the end on 1996 and was asked if we could place our public records databases on the Internet. After a little bit of tinkering the basic model that you see at PublicData.com was developed. ShadowSoft is staffed with the best technical people in the industry but we don't have skills in the area of marketing. It has been our desire all along to simply be the technical and database contractor for someone who wished to run the business of marketing and merchandising PublicData.com. A law passed by the Texas legislature this year banning the distribution of public data records over the Internet has made finding a merchandiser difficult and has made us re-think our position. I have made the decision that ShadowSoft shall cease operating PublicData.com on August 31, 1997. Because of my own personal belief that keeping public records available to the public in a free society is critical and essential to keeping our country free, ShadowSoft has sold PublicData.com to a company based in Anguilla, British West Indies. The company which is named PublicData.com.ai Ltd. has purchased all of the programs that ShadowSoft developed which gives you access to the information over the Internet. In addition, ShadowSoft will consult for PublicData.com but our data was not sold to them as a part of our deal. Instead, PublicData.com has purchased another copy of the same databases and should be able to provide uninterrupted service to you after September 1, 1997. The new owners of PublicData.com should be sending you a note very soon. Thanks again for all of your support and please consider keeping a subscription with PublicData.com. Sincerely, Bruce President ShadowSoft, Inc.
