HOO_doo Note Julius Rosenberg's code name was "liberal". The NSA said that the Soviets were using a one-time-pad. The implication is that sloppy encryption practice caused Soviet code clerks to sometimes reuse the random material thus converting the code into a code book system that could be read.

The NYT-reported ceremony was on C-SPAN (1 or 2) last night; I saw only a snippet of Moynihan mumbling. Maybe there will be a replay sometime today that may provide clues to the sharp ear. Held at the CIA, the clip showed lots of backs of heads of creme de les zipped-lipped crypto-slaves. Unctous Freeh, Deutch, the spy-brass were all there, lipping the New Yarper -- an ouvert HERF-zap would have spattered their sucrets.

I agree, killing people is dumb, but try telling that to your More specifically, few items sensitive electronic items are hardened against electromagnetic pulses. Ever see a speaker interfere with your TV set? Build a big enough speaker, and you can screw with your computers memory. (Of course, if you just use an electromagnet, and not bother to build a speaker around it, you'll be much more energy efficient. :) A big enough pulse can confuse just about any hardware; bigger pulses still can destroy it.

The problem is caused by local oscillator radiation interfering with the ILS receiver. Tune a FM broadcast band receiver to the right frequency and you get local oscillator radiation at (f + 10.7 MHz), right in the middle of the aviation band. //---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // John A.

The clueless media concentrated on Wright's allegation that Sir Roger Hollis, head of MI5 was a Soviet mole or the "5th Man" of the Philby, Burgess, Maclean & Blunt spyring. Now Wright may have been in Jesus Angleton's psychotic "wilderness of mirrors" too long, but he did a lot of bugging & stuff w/ GCHQ & he spends a great deal of his book talking about precisely the Venona decrypts. Briefly there was some reuse of "one time pads". He gives a fair amount of detail, & I suspect this is why HRM Govt. was so displeased, the supposed "embarrassment" of the allegations against long dead Sir Roger being just a cover story & much easier for the tabloids & general public to understand. tjh This is 1/713 of PGP262i DOS Executable Zipfile UUE'd Violate the Un-Constitutional ITAR Today!
