[Cross-posted to cyberia & cypherpunks] Links, albeit rather thin ones, to background info on the Technical Advisory Committee to Develop a Federal Information Processing Standard for the Federal Key Management Infrastructure appear at: http://csrc.nist.gov/tacdfipsfkmi/ The first (public) meeting will be Dec. 5-6 at the Sheraton Grand Hotel at Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport [Highway 114 & Esters Boulevard], 4440 W. John Carpenter Freeway, Irving, Texas. Alas, I won't be able to make it. On-the-spot reports most welcome... The committee is also asking for written submissions (35 copies!!). A. Michael Froomkin | +1 (305) 284-4285; +1 (305) 284-6506 (fax) Associate Professor of Law | U.

How vulnerable is someone just connected to the internet, w/o any server running? What attacks are feasable? --Internaut Well, if you are running Win95 (all) or 3.1 (w/certain TCP/IP stacks) your machine can be locked up or rebooted at *any* time using just PING! >> Im not sure under what circumstances you were referring this happening in, but I use win95 and so do friends of mine whom I ping ALL the time with their dynamic IP address. I do this to check the time before we do some online gaming across the net. Mind you.... I dont have to be connected to a KALI gaming server to do this.. He lets me know his IP address via his 2nd phone line, I log on the my ISP, goto dos and PING him.. and voila! Adam

Modulating the FM noise spectrum considered infeasible

Of course, maybe it is possible to record the >whole >spectrum to tapes, but I think that the noise will change when recorded and >played back from tape. Not to mention the point that an external attacker--say, the NSA van parked across the street--will under no circumstances be able to measure "the" spectrum: his antennas cannot possibly measure the signals (at the lower bits) seen by the FM receiver, noise source local to the computer, whatever. (Obviously other SIGINT/TEMPEST methods might be able to read the bits in other ways, but this is a different issue. Ditto for black bag cryptanalysis, which is usually the most cost-effective approach.) Likewise, feeding the FM antennas with "special hiss" is implausible in the extreme. Again, the attackers don't know antenna responses, atmospheric and room geometry variations, etc. Even if the FM hiss were to be somewhat biased, the LSBs would have a fair amount of entropy....collecting and distilling this entropy would still be trivial. Yes, this is all obvious stuff. But it keeps coming up. Not even the NSA has the super powers to modulate the FM noise spectrum in a cost-effective way. Having said this, Johnson noise makes a superior noise source, if a physical source is desired. --Tim May Just say "No" to "Big Brother Inside" We got computers, we're tapping phone lines, I know that that ain't allowed. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
