[Matt's wonderful LEAF forgery hack deleted]

Matt Blaze should be commended for finding such a big hole. As with most such ideas, its obvious in retrospect but took some good thought to come up with in the first place.

Indeed. Is he now working furiously on a fix for this "big hole" which he can then patent and refuse to license to Big Brother?

Let me say also that the NSA should feel highly embarassed. They fucked up big time. My terror of them from a few days ago when we heard the Russian Coup intercept story has lessened. Even if they are years ahead of us, they are still human.

This is true, although difficult to remember sometimes. +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Scott Collins Alcatel Network Systems| |collsc@aud.alcatel.com Richardson, Texas| | Even if my employers agreed with this, they would never admit it. | | GCS d? -p+ c++@ l u e- m* s+/ n- h+ f? g-(+++) w+@ t-- r- y? | +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
