A friend relates how their college computer administrators "reserve the right" to keep all email messages and read them at will. Would someone send me some references to groups who are dealing with this sort of situation? Please mail to my home address: sw(a)tiac.net Thanks, --Steve

"It's very similar," Republican Gov. George V. Voinovich of Ohio said at a press briefing. "We've had an ongoing problem in terms of how to handle that. We've been continuing to try and work that out with those businesses in the states that have the large mail-order catalogs." The National Governors' Association estimates states lose $4 billion in sales taxes annually from catalog sales. That's because states, cities and counties generally lack the authority to capture sales taxes on such sales if the catalog business is headquartered out of state. That problem could only intensify based on the projected growth of electronic commerce. Voinovich cited one estimate of $1.5 trillion in sales on the Internet by 2002. "I don't think this is the time for the federal Congress to rush into something that will have such a huge impact on state and local government," he said. Joining Voinovich to oppose the Internet tax bill were leaders from the National Association of Counties, National League of Cities and U.S. Conference of Mayors. Rep. Chris Cox, a Republican from California, and Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, have sponsored similar bills that would bar any new taxes on computer transactions -- such as taxes on Internet access or online services -- for an unspecified time while Congress studies the whole issue. The bill would make an exception to the moratorium for income earned through an Internet service; local business license taxes, if the Internet provider is located within the appropriate jurisdiction; and sales or use taxes, so long as they are the same as charged for mail or telephone orders. "We would love to have the bill say what the sponsors say it says," said Brian J. O'Neill, a Philadelphia city councilman, representing the National League of Cities. But O'Neill and others say the technical language of the bill contains a broad pre-emption of state and local taxes. Wyden spokesman David Seldin strongly disagrees. "We have bent over backwards to clarify language of the bill so there can be no questions" that local governments retain authority to levy the same taxes on the Internet that are assessed on catalog sales, Seldin said. The bill seeks to halt new local taxes aimed specifically at Internet businesses. One National Governors' Association official said the bill's wording would worsen the states' problem of collecting sales taxes on catalog sales. "We know that we have to sit down with the industry and make the sales tax work on Main Street, on catalogs and on Internet, in some simplified, clear and technologically neutral way," said Tim Masanz of the association's economic development group. "If Congress goes on record and says that Internet sales are the equivalent of catalog mail-order sales, those talks are doomed," he added. "I can understand their desire to fight that battle but it would certainly not do much good to create a situation where you are favoring one at-home purchase over another," said Seldin.

More Government Bullshit
by nobody＠REPLAY.COM 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

>From News of the Weird: * In July, the Nova Scotia Gaming Control Commission formally banned the popular charity fundraiser, "cow-patty bingo," in which a promoter marks a field into squares, takes bets, and then releases a recently-fed cow to "select" a winning square. The Commission believed the game could be rigged by training a cow to use a particular spot in the field. The next day, incoming Nova Scotia Premier Russell MacLellan said the ban could be ignored. That same week, the district attorney's office in Santa Clara County announced that a similar fundraiser for the imminent Gilroy, Calif., garlic festival, based on the famous Clydesdale horses' two-mile march through town, could not be held because it violated the state gambling law.

Sounds like a good argument for banning employees from purging their mail. :-) This employee regularly purged his mail, an operation far more effective than merely encrypting it. In well run companies, the boss does not wade through the employees trash. If I have email that I may need to refer to, I file it appropriately. PGP is not primarily designed for storage of sensitive data. Insert usual argument concerning encryption of transmissions versus encryption of storage. Your argument is an argument for corporate access to secure file systems, not corporate access to secure email. For some far from mysterious reason, those who provide secure file systems feel little need to provide a back door. --------------------------------------------------------------------- | We have the right to defend ourselves | http://www.jim.com/jamesd/ and our property, because of the kind | of animals that we are.

about MISTY encryption algorithm
by Nobuki Nakatuji 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Mitsubishi Electric Corp. has developed new secret-key cryptosystem MISTY1 and MISTY2, which are ciphers with 128-bit key and 64-bit data block. They are provably secure against differential and linear cryptanalysis,and also fast on software implementations as well as on hardware platforms. Using ciphers on wide-area networks requires a method to maintain security as long as its encryption key (password commonly shared by a sender and a receiver) is kept secret, even if the mechanism of the encryption is made public. However,possibilities of unauthorized access will increase when the encryption mechanism is made public. In fact,several encryption algorithms, whose specifications were made public,have been compelled to make specification changes, and to sacrifice their encryption speed in return for an increased cipher strength to protect against recent decoding methods. This is why an encryption system whose security against these decoding method is strictly evaluated at the design stage has become necessary. Since announcing its linear cryptanalysis,Mitsubishi Electric has been making efforts to develop encryption technology backed by adequate security. In January 1994, Mitsubishi Electric performed the first successful experiment to decode the Data Encryption Standard (DES), an American standard commercial encryption system, to quantitatively evaluate its strength using this linear cryptanalysis. Using this evaluation technology, Mitsubishi Electric has developed an encryption algorithm that provides sufficient security and achieves high speed encryption. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

It is a good idea to keep badly forged messages on your machine, as well as badly forged keys. There are many ways to manipulate files and emails so that discrepancies exist. e.g. - messages with a time-stamp later than the file date; replies with an earlier time-stamp than the original message; changing fingerprint on the same key.
