I would like to assemble an archive (electronic *and* paper) of graphics relating to privacy and encryption. These could be made available for republication in books and magazines, so any items not already in the public domain ought to be accompanied by source citations so that permissions may be obtained. I'd be interested in graphs, diagrams, flowcharts, cartoons, line drawings, photos, and any other graphical content you can think of. More specifically, graphs (e. g. comparing the difficulty of breaking various encryption methods, encryption time as a function of RSA key length, etc.), diagrams (such as Hal Finney's excellent flowcharts in Extropy #10), cartoons (e. g. political cartoons about various government attempts to control/stifle encryption), and photos (of commercial software product packaging, photos of secure phone systems such as marketing depts would produce, photos of famous cypherpunks, cryptographers, and crypto programmers) Items on paper as well as items in electronic format will both be welcomed. Send the former to 1800 Market St, #243, San Francisco CA 94102. Send the latter to slippery@netcom.com in uuencode or BinHex4 format.
Re: graphic archive A graphical archive for paper publication is a really wonderful idea. I can keep or mirror the electronic archive on soda. One of the projects that has been discussed is getting together a presentation that we can hand out to people who will present it at local meetings. One necessary for any presentation is graphics. Here are some suggestions: 1. What the 'channel' model is. Sender, Receiver, Eavesdropper. 2. How symmetric key crypto works over a channel. [The New York Times had a good graphic of this. My favorite part was that the secret information decrypted to "... and get a quart of milk. No, make that a half gallon." An excellent subtlety to show that privacy is for everybody.] 3. How public key crypto works over a channel. 4. How key escrow works. 5. How key escrow fails to work. Not neglecting the obvious, I would suggest that any drawings such as these, in whatever form they might have been created in, also be made available in postscript. Eric

Thanks very much for your offer. It would be great if you could keep the electronic part at soda, since we only have five megabytes on Netcom, and Joe's Garage is no the most reliable system in the world. When Sunah and I start getting stuff, I'll send mail. Arkuat
