RSA DES Challenge starting!
by Trei Family 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I'd like to remind people that Monday, July 13th, 1998, RSA Data Security is releasing the challenge data for the next RSA DES Challenge (the brute force solution of a DES encrypted message). For more information on this challenge, please see http://www.rsa.com. The prize stands at 10,000 USD for the first solution found within 10 days. If wish to attempt the challenge by yourself, I reccomend that you look at Svend Mikkelsen's Bryddes (http://inet.uni2.dk/~svolaf/des.htm) which is by far the fastest Intel implementation I know of - considerably better than my own Deskr. If you're interested in a joint effort, you could do worse than look at http://distributed.net. This group won the RC5-56 and January 1998 DES challenges, and are currently working on RC5-64. Their clients will automatically switch over to DES Monday morning. It looks like they should attain around 86 billion keys/second, which will exhaust the keyspace in under 10 days. However, only a fraction of the prize money goes to the person who finds the key. Cracking DES in these challenges serves a higher purpose than winning a prize or gaining bragging rights. Single DES (the kind used in this challenge) is the strongest general purpose encryption which Americans are currently permitted to send overseas without special and rarely granted waivers. As a result, the US government is turning over the world market in high quality cryptography to non-US firms, with a cost of billions of dollars a year to the US economy, thousands of American jobs, and increased crime and terrorism resulting from the poor security this policy promotes. Demonstrating how vulnerable US 'export quality' encryption actually is creates pressure to remove those restrictions entirely. I regard this as a desirable goal. Peter Trei trei(a)ziplink.net

Marshall McLuhan and encryption...
by jf_avon＠citenet.net 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

> Nick's a big shot at Wired magazine. So it should be no surprise > to learn that Wired attacked cypherpunks in its 01 96 issue. In > a fake interview with "Wired's patron saint," Marshall McLuhan is > made to say (p 130): > > Concerns about privacy and anonymity are outdated. Cypherpunks > think they are rebels with a cause, but they are really senti- > mentalists. Well, maybe McL. would have spit such nonsense, very characteristical of him. "The media is the message" is among the biggests con jobs performed on humanity. It's like having a guy dying form thirst and telling him: "The pipe is the beverage"... One fine example of the destruction of reason. If a PGP encrypted message was sent to Mr.McLuhan, could he see if it is a "there is a contract on you..." or "happy new year" or "I love you..." To any Cypherpunks, the media *IS NOT* the message! Dear Wired peoples and Mr. McLuhan: get lost! > The era of politics based on private identities, anonymous indi- > viduals, and independent citizens began with the French Revolution > and Napoleon's armies...and ended with Hitler.... The cypherpunks > are still marching to the same martial music. He is partially right. With Renaissance, came the idea that Reason and human mind were powerfull and that knowledge, because man's only survival tool is reason, is a value to pursue. But french revolution did not convey theses ideas, neither did Napoleon. And Hitler definitely not. All of the three were, ultimately, collectivists or looters. Therefore, the author of the text is guilty of setting up straw man and of context blanking. JFA Reality Is. Existence exists. Words have a precise meaning. $

Thanks to DT http://www.fcw.com/pubs/fcw/1998/0713/fcw-newscyber-7-13-98.html The Defense Department plans to create a new military organization to spearhead DOD's effort to protect the nation's critical computer systems against information warfare attacks, marking the first time DOD has taken responsibility for protecting infrastructure within the United States. ... The Pentagon also is considering the formation of a reserve cadre of "cyberdefense warriors," who would have hands-on responsibility for protecting the nation's sensitive information networks and systems from information warfare attacks. According to an industry source familiar with the project, about 300 Ph.D.-carrying reservists would work from home computers that would be tied into high-speed communications links. DOD has budgeted $10 million to jump-start the effort, the source said. ...

Jim Bell Request
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A forwarded message from Jim Bell: Jim is requesting that cpunks try to get the Oregon newspaper to write up another story on his case. John Branton is the "crime reporter" for the Columbian newspaper (editors(a)columbian.com) Jim asks that people send Branton a note saying they would like to see a story on the issue of Jim's being spied on. This reporter already knows what the allegations are, but Jim wants to prod him into covering his story, because he thinks it's important enough for the public to know about it. Jim also would like any reporters on the list who are interested in talking to him, to send him their phone number and he will give them a call. BTW, the next hearing date is set for the 7/30/98. In the meantime, he's hanging around shooting pool, reading magazines, etc. [End Jim message] ---------- Jim's address: James Bell #26906086 Federal Detention Center P.O. Box 68976 Seattle WA 98168 ---------- Latest court docket entries: 6/30/98 50 MINUTE ORDER by Judge Franklin D. Burgess that the Probation Revocation hrg is rescheduled to 1:30 p.m. on 7/10/98 for James Dalton Bell (cc: counsel, Judge) (car) [Entry date 06/30/98] 7/8/98 -- PROPOSED Supplemental Violations (car) [Entry date 07/08/98] 7/10/98 51 PROBATION PETITION/ORDER by Judge Franklin D.
