Woops. Guess that I should elided the "After Austria and Germany" clause. Ob C-punks issues, I recall that Remo Pini, one of the Swiss on the list, was preparing a CD-ROM crypto compilation disc. He hasn't posted in some time, so perhaps the authorities have decided that such a project was in fact "their business." Seriously, I hope that Remo is able to give some information on the state of the current Swiss crypto regs.

It's curious that they're still making this distinction. I've got to wonder, if push came to shove, how they'd differentiate between, say, a book and a TeX document of the same book, on a CD. Unfortunately, the person testing this may go to prison for a long time. I saw no mention of prison time or fines for breaking these provisions -- I can only assume that the teeth are buried in other Commerce regulations. Does anyone know offhand what penalties are involved? Also, the choice of the Commerce Department to play gatekeeper is an interesting one, tactically. Is the addition of a few "or import" clauses likely? "One small step..." as they say. (me)

cypherpunks suggestion
by ichudov＠algebra.com 17 Dec '03

John -- Just got back after vacation... It is my understanding that cpunks list has been attacked by several clever tricks. I have a couple of suggestions on how to improve protection of this list: # Use the following recipe in .procmailrc for cypherpunks (or majordomo) # account: :0 * ^TOcypherpunks * !^X-Loop: * !^FROM_MAILER * !^FROM_DAEMON * !^X-Mailing-List: { # get rid of duplicates :0 Wh: msgid.lock | formail -D 65524 msgid.cache # add X-Loop:, etc :0 fhw | formail -I "X-Loop: cypherpunks(a)toad.com" \ -I "X-Mailing-List: cypherpunks(a)toad.com" \ -I "Precedence: list" \ -I "Errors-To: cypherpunks-errors(a)toad.com" # this recipe finally passes the submission to majordomo :0 | majordomo .... } The rest is not really anything for cypherpunks, and should go to /dev/null. - Igor.

Cryptanalysis Trainer
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

We've transcribed from PDF to ASCII the cryptanalysis program in Appendix F of the US Army's Field Manual FM 34-40-2, Basic Cryptanalysis, September, 1990. http://jya.com/appf.htm Manual quote: "This program gives the capability to encipher and decipher messages in monoalphabetic and polyalphabetic substitution systems, produce a variety of statistical data about the encrypted messages, and print the results or save them to disk. Because of its limited purpose, the program does not support on-screen analysis. The printed results can be used off-line to aid in analysis, however. The program should be particularly useful in preparing examples and exercises for training cryptanalytic techniques."
