What bothers me about such schemes is this: What happens if the insecure machine which accepts your PIN and transfers it to the iButton then performs a transaction which you have not authorized. E.g. it transfers $10 rather than $.01. You can collect quite a bit by repeating the scam. I have not heard of a trust protocol which does not require some form of input and/or output on the iButton itself. All the ones which can be used by normal humans (e.g. do not require the user to do public key cryptography in his/her head) require both a small display and a approve/disapprove button. I think the credit card calculator form factor is attractive for this application. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Frantz | "Cave softly, cave safely, | Periwinkle -- Consulting (408)356-8506 | and cave with duct tape." | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz(a)netcom.com | - Marianne Russo | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA

pgp, edi, s/mime
by Jeff Ubois 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Interesting comments from a member of the IETF EDI-INT group, which is developing standards for secure EDI over the net, and managing a Commercenet pilot project: - S/MIME and PGP are the two leading candidates for encrypting EDI messages, S/MIME inside the US, and PGP outside the US where S/MIME is unavailable. - If PGP 3.0 comes out on time with promised features, it could gain adoption by large companies as a standard means of encrypting EDI messages; that would pull smaller companies along, but it has a narrow window of opportunity and could lose to S/MIME products like those from Deming. - The G7 governments will impose key escrow on large companies trading over the net, and while non-escrowed systems will continue to be available, they are likely to be illegal, and certainly will be marginalized.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Got it, thanks for the offers of help. FYI, none of the currently available freeware will decrypt WP 6.1 files; the WPCRAK mentioned in the sci.crypt FAQ stops at 5.2.

[BOOK][CYPHERPUNK] "Holy Fire"
by Brian D Williams 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Bruce Sterling has a new cyber/cypherpunk novel, "Holy Fire" (ISBN 0-553-09958-2). Enclosed are a few exerpts, I'll lead with the "list appropriate" one. Brian "This was a very unhappy interface. And small wonder. No doubt this entire virtual environment was being encrypted, decrypted, reencrypted, anonymously routed through satelites and cables, emulated on alien machinery through ill-fitting, out-of-date protocols, then displayed through long-dead graphics standards. Dismembered, piped, compressed, packeted, unpacketed, decompressed, unpiped and re-membered. Worse yet, the place was old. Virtual buildings didn't age like physical ones, but they aged in subtle pathways of arcane decline, in much the way that their owners did. A little bijou table in the corner had a pronounced case of bit- rot: from a certain angle it lost all surface tint." "Attendants opened the hinged white lid of the emulsifier, took the thin shroud from Martin's wasted, puckered body, and slid him, with reverent care, feetfirst into the seething gel. The scanners set to work, Martin's final official medical imaging. Gentle ultrasonics shook the body apart, and when the high-speed rotors began to churn, the emulsifier's ornamental flowerbeds trembled a bit. Autopsy samplers caught up bits of the soup, analyzed genetic damage, surveyed the corpse's populations of resident bacteria, hunted down and cataloged every subsymptomatic viral infection and prion infestation, and publicly nailed down the cause of death (self-administered neural depressant) with utter cybernetic certainty. All the data was neatly and publicly filed on the net."

NOC_ase

10-8-96. FiTi: "Offshore financial centres agree to greater scrutiny." The Offshore Group comprises most of the biggest offshore financial centres including the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Caymans, Gibraltar, the Channel Islands, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Panama and Singapore. The agreement says home supervisors should be able to inspect the books of shell branches wherever they are kept. "In no case should access to these books be protected by secrecy requirements in the country that licenses the shell branch," it says. WaJo: "Cold War Spying: Mystery Gives Way to History." The release of the Venona documents tells us more about the state of intelligence agencies today in both Russia and the U.S. than it does about Stalin's spy rings. These and counterpart activities in Moscow dramatize the ongoing campaign American and Russian intelligence agencies are waging in the 1990s -- not against each other but at home, to preserve their budgets and public respect. And with "Venona: The Book" launched at last week's conference, can a CIA/NSA CDROM be far behind? ----- http://jya.com/nocase.txt (10 kb for 2) ftp://jya.com/pub/incoming/nocase.txt NOC_ase ---------- Anybody got a copy of the Offshore Group's agreement? Whither EUB? Or seen "Venona: The Book"? If so, does David Kahn have a part?
