ECafe Anonymous Remailer writes: [Crap]
I D/Led this file last night & printed it out. I was a little suspicious at first because you'd think if AT&T really wanted people to read (instead of just wanting to say they published it) they'd put it on the web in http and not use obscure printer codes.
Huh? Postscript an "obscure printer code"?
Behind all the obscure printer codes and fancy language, it is obvious to anyone with half a brain that this is just a move by AT&T to put itself on top of the internet certificate hierarchy where your're locked in to using AT&T software and internet service (just like RSA and Netscape). You have to license AT&T code to use it and you need an AT&T approved policy attribute or something in order to make it work.
You are on drugs, whomever you are. Matt and company have done some very interesting work here on certificate policies. The work is unpatented and involves no proprietary AT&T technology. In short, you are both an stupid and paranoid. You probably didn't understand what you were reading. If you had a milligram of self respect, you'd come out from behind that anonymous remailer. Of course, I expect that you know that your words are embarassing rather than something to be proud of. The paper in question is seminal. I strongly urge people who don't drool when they open their mouths to read it. Perry
