Re: May's Banal Rant

I just came back from the 7th annual crypto conference that we've organized in DC. Among the people who spoke were Carl Ellison, Eric Hughes, Matt Blaze, Peter Wayner, Cindy Cohn, Bruce Schneier. (Michael Froomkin was invited, but he's been out of the country. And Whit couldn't make it cause he's finishing his book.) Like I said, Tim May et al are behind the curve. You guys preach cyber anarchy but you're really armchair activists. Marc. - For anyone interested in getting the most recent EPIC Crypto Privacy Sourcebook, we should have a notice on our web site by the end of the week.

Well lets see, While you were hobnobbing in DC today I did the following: Spent time on the phone with PGP, Inc. going over various modifications that I have been working on to the PGP code. Spoke with 3 E-Mail vendors on the implementation of crypto to there products. Spent several hours on IRC disscussing with a group of IRC authors on the design and implemntation of Private Encrypted channel to their IRC products. Exchanged E-Mail regurarding PGP/MIME update draft. Spent the rest of the day writting & debuging crypto code. So *EXACTLY* where are we behind the curve? While you are playing your fanticy games in DC as self appointed defender of "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" the rest of us were doing *REAL* work bringing crypto to the masses. - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

That's "Crypto Anarchy."

I'll put reading the latest EPIC (spit) publication on my list of very important things to do, right after donating copiously to the National Brotherhood of Jackbooted Thugs, and having my private parts steam-cleaned by Cocksucker John Gilmore.
