17 Dec '03

Ok.. I'm still getting mail regarding the etch-a-sketch keychain. Thus I'm going to look at how to get em for everyone. :) Just letting you all know. Don't bury me in 'I want one mail.' As soon as I have the info I'll get it out to the hungry crowd. Heh. At that point you can bury me happily.

Telecomm Act Reference (Was Re: Newt's phone calls)
by Sarah L. Green 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

>From Damien Thorn's 'A CELLULAR COMMUNICATIONS PRIMER' (at http://www.l0pht.com/~drwho/cell/texts/thorn1192.txt) To calm fears that cellular calls were not private, the cellular industry lobbied congress into passing legislation known today as the Electronic Communication Privacy Act (ECPA) of 1986 which makes it a crime to monitor cellular phone calls and a host of other transmissions like digital pagers. This law is used by cellular equipment dealers and service providers to reassure customers that their conversations will remain private.

Give your lawyer a floppy with the key revocation certificate and a yellow sticky about how to call Alice or Bob for help if your lawyer's not computer-literate enough to follow the README file. If you're paranoid about the cops getting your unindicted co-conspirators' names, use PGP Inc. or some computer consultant instead of Alice and Bob and have your lawyer pay their per-hour rate. On your One Phone Call, tell him to get the floppy out of the sealed envelope in his safe and use it. Key revocation certificates don't leak your private keys, so the only risk if the Bad Guys get a copy is denial of service, including the pain of rebuilding all your connections, etc.; it doesn't leak your communications or allow them to forge mail. # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, +1-415-442-2215 stewarts(a)ix.netcom.com # You can get PGP outside the US at ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/pgp # (If this is a mailing list, please Cc: me on replies.

We do have to take on risks, like people wearing clothes, carring packages, ect.

The world at large is > insecure in very many respects: it is easy to find out credit card > numbers, overhear conversations, install hidden microphones, hack > into computers, etc etc. It does not mean that we should stop all > activity simply because there is "some" risk of losses. We have two seemingly conflicting desires: the desire for security and the desire for privacy. I do not call being searched "privacy" yet I do not call not being searched "security". We need to find creative resolutions to these conflicts. Of course, it is debatable if there is even an expectation of privacy on an airplane. I don't mind terrably being searched in an airport by security because I don't expect the privacy. I expect security. I don't want to die. If I have things I don't want them to see, there are other ways to get it there. I would worry if they cataloged what I had in a database and sold it to others. The service is just that -a service. It is not a right. We can travel other ways, too. My late night ramblings cease, Internaut

All the ftp sites I've found with the source code from Applied Cryptography had the source code from the first edition. I assume there are changes and additions to the source code in the second edition. Are there any ftp sites with the the newer code?
