The Clinton Administration has transformed its Clipper/Capstone proposal into a definitive policy that could pave the way for banning all non-Clipper crytography in the United States. I agree with most everyone who reads these groups: the thought scares the hell out of me, especially given the "fight crime" mandate from recent public opinion polls.
I posted some of these thoughts in response to David Banisar's 7 February press release on CPSR's reaction to the announcement. In that post, I offered to compile a list of cryptographic tools and resources that were available outside of the United States (i.e., machines not physically located in the US) if such a list hadn't already been done. Stanton McClandish indicated that it hadn't and urged me to "GO FOR IT!".
I'm going for it, but I need your help. My work account with ftp access will go away this Friday and the dial-up lines to my school account are constantly busy. I should have a digex.com account within the next two weeks, but until then I won't have reliable archie/veronica/gopher access to the Internet.
That's one reason I'm asking for help (the other is the sheer enormity of searching every non-US machine). If you live outside of the US or visit non-US machines on occasion and know they store crypto resources, please send me a directory listing at this email address (for now). Also, if there are any readme files or other program descriptions in those directories, I would appreciate receiving an electronic copy of them as well.
Furthermore, if any of you have product information about foreign-made cryptographic equipment or software, I would be interested in seeing that as well. I can be reached by snail mail at:

I look forward to your support and hope to report back in a few weeks with some preliminary results.
