Crypto Rules Report
by John Young 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

In response to the December Financial Times article "Encryption Rules Coming," about an international cryptography meeting in Paris, and our request for additional information, we have received from nobody: Report of the Business-Government Forum on Global Cryptogoraphy Policy Held on 19-20 December 1995 in Paris Detailed Report The report includes meeting background information, notes on the speakers articulation of the positions of industry and governments, and four annexes: 1. List of participants (EU, US, Japan -- biz and gov); 2. Statement of Eurobit-ITAC-ITI-JEIDA which sets out 20 principles of global cryptographic policy; 3. Statement by the Infosec Business Advisory Group (IBAG) on 17 principles of international cryptography; 4. The Mike Nelson Policy Problem (last point: "No one trusts anyone.") It would be great if someone would provide an FTP site. It is about 31 kb.

Are anon remailers the only way to send anon email without giving up the source eventhough an organization has a wealth of dough/technology and several class B addresses? Couldn't they just trick their mail servers or would a nslookup/whois defeat that?

[FWD] Technology and Privacy: The New Landscape

Date: 06 Nov 1997 07:58:03 -0800 (PST) From: Phil Agre <pagre(a)weber.ucsd.edu> Subject: Technology and Privacy: The New Landscape Feel free to post where appropriate. Technology and Privacy: The New Landscape edited by Philip E. Agre University of California, San Diego Marc Rotenberg Electronic Privacy Information Center MIT Press, 1997 Hardcover ISBN: 0-262-01162-X $25.00 Available through the EPIC Bookstore: http://www.epic.org/bookstore/ Excerpts from the introduction can be found at: http://communication.ucsd.edu/pagre/landscape.html MIT Press Web site: http://mitpress.mit.edu/ Privacy is the capacity to negotiate social relationships by controlling access to personal information. As laws, policies, and technological design increasingly structure people's relationships with social institutions, individual privacy faces new threats and new opportunities. Over the last several years, the realm of technology and privacy has been transformed, creating a landscape that is both dangerous and encouraging. Significant changes include large increases in communications bandwidths; the widespread adoption of computer networking and public-key cryptography; mathematical innovations that promise a vast family of protocols for protecting identity in complex transactions; new digital media that support a wide range of social relationships; a new generation of technologically sophisticated privacy activists; a massive body of practical experience in the development and application of data-protection laws; and the rapid globalization of manufacturing, culture, and policy making. The essays in this book provide a new conceptual framework for the analysis and debate of privacy policy and for the design and development of information systems. The authors are international experts in the technical, economic, and political aspects of privacy; the book's strength is its synthesis of the three. The book provides equally strong analyses of privacy issues in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Contributors: Philip E. Agre Beyond the mirror world: Privacy and the representational practices of computing Victoria Bellotti Design for privacy in multimedia computing and communications environments Colin J. Bennett Convergence revisited: Towards a global policy for personal data protection Herbert Burkert Privacy enhancing technologies: Typology, vision, critique Simon G. Davies Re-engineering the privacy right: How privacy has been transformed from a right to a commodity David H. Flaherty Controlling surveillance: Can privacy protection be made effective?

See How They Lie (fwd)
by Brian B. Riley 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe/globehtml/317/See_how_they_lie.htm SEE HOW THEY LIE By Jeff Jacoby, Globe Columnist, 11/13/97 This column is about lying, so let me just confess, full-disclosurewise, that I have on occasion failed to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Like everyone else, I learned early on that honesty is sometimes the best policy - for getting in trouble. My father often warned my siblings and me that if we got caught doing something wrong, we would be punished, but if we got caught lying, the punishment would be doubled. Naturally, we lied, hoping not to get caught at all. Sometimes it even worked. So, yes, I've told my share of fibs and fabrications. But it is one thing to bend the truth in hopes of not being punished. It is something rather different to shamelessly falsify one's personal history in order to score cheap political points. Which brings us to James Ware, a federal judge nominated by President Clinton to the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. For years, Judge Ware has been telling a heartbreaking story about his youth in Birmingham. It occurs during the racial turmoil of 1963, shortly after the deadly bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. James is bicycling to a football game; his kid brother Virgil, a 13-year-old, is riding on the handlebars. Suddenly two white racists open fire. The gunshots knocked Virgil off the bike, Judge Ware recalled in a 1994 interview with the San Jose Mercury News, one of many occasions on which he has told the story. ''He died there by the side of the road.'' Understandably, the murder of his brother left a deep mark. ''What happened to me,'' Ware said, ''was a defining experience, a turning point in my life.'' As well it might have been - if it were true. A young man named Virgil Ware was murdered in Birmingham in 1963, but he was no relation to the judge. To further his own career, James Ware simply helped himself to another family's grief and martyrdom. Not until last week, when an Alabama paper tracked down Virgil Ware's true relatives and confronted Judge Ware with the facts, did he admit being a liar. Obviously his nomination to the Ninth Circuit is blown. But the president shouldn't give up on Ware quite yet. This faker would be perfect for the administration. After all, someone prepared to lie so brazenly about his own past ought to feel right at home with the Clinton-Gore crowd. Consider former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who just published a memoir filled with stormy scenes that never happened. In one episode, he describes a 1995 appearance before the Joint Economic Committee. As Reich tells it, US Representative Jim Saxton, the Republican chairman, flayed him mercilessly. ''Where did you learn economics, Mr. Secretary?'' Saxton demands. Then, pointing to a chart, Saxton jumps up and down in his chair, crying ''Evidence! Evidence!'' Pure fiction, discovered Jonathan Rauch, a respected Washington editor, when he checked the transcript. ''I was flabbergasted,'' Rauch wrote in Slate, ''so I checked the C-SPAN tapes, and they leave no doubt. Reich appears to have fabricated much of this episode for dramatic effect. Saxton was, in fact, decorous and polite. He did not jump up and down ... he did not shout `Evidence! Evidence!''' Most of the quotations Reich attributes to Saxton ''appear never to have been said at all.'' Reich doesn't deny making up events and quotations. ''These are my perceptions,'' he shrugs. ''I might have goofed.'' Mmm-hmm. The same way Judge Ware ''goofed.'' At least Reich never exploited the death of a close relative. Vice President Al Gore, by contrast, mesmerized the 1996 Democratic convention with the story of his sister's death from lung cancer 12 years earlier. Gore detailed his ''final hours'' with Nancy and said the ''nearly unbearable pain'' of her death made him take a vow: ''Until I draw my last breath, I will pour my heart and soul into the cause of protecting our children from the dangers of smoking.'' Very moving. But Gore almost certainly made no such vow. For years following Nancy's death, he pocketed annual earnings from his family's tobacco crop. In 1988 he boasted to North Carolina voters, ''I raised tobacco. I want you to know that with my own hands, all of my life, I put it in the plant beds and transferred it. I've hoed it. I've chopped it. I've shredded it, spiked it, put it in the barn and stripped it and sold it.'' When challenged on the inconsistency, the VP explained that ''you never fully learn the lessons that life has to teach you.'' How profound. Sounds like just the guy James Ware would enjoy working for. Then there is Clinton himself, who is not above exploiting any tragedy if there is political benefit in it. During the rash of church burnings in 1996, Clinton solemnly told a national radio audience that he has ''vivid and painful memories of black churches being burned in my own state when I was a child.'' It must indeed have been a traumatic experience. Except - there weren't any black churches burned in Arkansas when Clinton was a child. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette checked: Not one civil rights leader or historian could confirm Clinton's ''memories.'' Once again the president had ''told a lie designed to make him look good,'' the paper concluded. Spinning lies to look good seems to be a specialty of the administration. Tell me Ware wouldn't fit right in. Jeff Jacoby is a Globe columnist. This story ran on page A29 of the Boston Globe on 11/13/97. © Copyright 1997 Globe Newspaper Company. Brian B.
