I thought at first that it had been sent to the cypherpunks mailing list, but it was actually sent directly to me (at least that's what the headers indicate). So now I have to go through the *hell* of trying to get my name off Sanford Wallace's mailing list. I wonder how long it will take? Deana Deana M.

Sources at IBM say scientists there have devised a scheme that uses several steps to encrypt information and the keys for unlocking it. Law enforcement officials authorized to unscramble information would not get a key for unlocking a message but instead the instructions for how to break open a specific encrypted message. ----- http://jya.com/leorat.txt LEO_rat ----- For an earlier report on IBM's LEO-rat, see http://jya.com/ibmgak.txt

A few questions here... The idea of a Crypto programming division has been tossed around over here, and was wondering... Does anyone have any serious hard facts on what crypto is allowed in which countries? How about Crypto development within Canadian Boundaries, are there any limits/concerns? Are any of the Crypto systems subject to different laws i.e 3Des/IDEA/MD5/Blowfish etc.?

LANGHORNE, Penn., Sept 30 (Reuter) - Digital Descriptor Systems Inc said on Monday that it had received the first $140,000 phase of a proposed $1.4 million contract from IBM. The money is to be used by the Bahamas for the installation of imaging identification systems. The first segment of the imaging program will be installed in the Bahamas by the end of this year. Digital Descriptor, in a three-year partnership with IBM to create a program needed on a country-wide basis by the government of the Bahamas, manufactures and markets imaging systems for municipal and private criminal enforcement markets.

The Impact of Cybercommunications on Traditional Financial Services
by Joseph M. Reagle Jr. 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

http://www.ctr.columbia.edu/citi/cybercom.html http://www.ctr.columbia.edu/citi/cybcompap/ravi.htm Abstract: This paper presents a framework that provides a conceptual understanding of electronic commerce-based financial services. The paper then discusses some of the research issues that need to be addressed in this emerging area. Systematic research o n online financial services is virtually non-existent. Most of the early work consists of anecdotal evidence from individual companies, usually in the form of trade journal articles which have no empirical basis. Clearly there is a need for industry-acade mia collaboration to understand the online financial services area better. There is also a need to develop methods and tools for measuring the effectiveness of these services. Traditional effectiveness measuring methods will be of limited use in cyberspac e as banks enter an era in which financial products are treated as information commodities and banks are in competition with non-banks to serve customers with the best bundle of information _______________________ Regards, An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. -?

With an import restriction, a person need merely receive a given piece of software in the mail from an "unknown" benefactor, software that (surprise!) would have been illegal to import. (the software doesn't even have to be mailed from outside the US, merely trucked in by a wetback and anonymously mailed by tossing it into the ubiquitous USnail PO Box.) Redistribution of this software would have to be legal, if for no other reason than nobody could prove it was imported illegally. Nobody outside the US would have any standing to sue for copyright violation, because they couldn't import it and sell it without restrictions. Jim Bell jimbell(a)pacifier.com
