ANNOUNCEMENT ============ SAME cypherpunks time! NEW cypherpunks channel! (er, location) What: Bay Area physical cypherpunks meeting When: May 21, 1994 12:00 noon - 6:00 p.m. Where: Silicon Graphics, Mountain View, CA Building 5, SGI cafeteria, aka Cafe Iris Many thanks to Katy Kislitzin for arranging us a new and larger meeting space. With Cygnus meetings averaging 40-50 people each month, we'd just plain run out of space in their small conference room. And many thanks to John Gilmore for the well-used Cygnus room. We'll be in Cafe Iris, with 75 seats and plenty of A/V equipment. There will be full MBONE support, including video. We'll have a camera, so those who want to broadcast their likenesses to the whole world will have the opportunity. The MBONE session has been advertised on 'sd' already. The New York Times magazine is doing a story on us, and a photographer will be there to take a group photo, last I heard. This month's theme is Protocols. We'll be doing protocols and other technical cryptography. Here's what's known to be on the schedule right now: -- Arthur Abraham. Broadband subliminal channel in the DSA -- Eric Hughes. Narrowband subliminal channel in the DSA These two will be presenting work by Gus Simmons on the various subliminal channels in the Digital Signature Algorithm, based on a pair of papers presented last year. Folks can prepare for these presentations by reading Schneier's _Applied Cryptography_, p. 300 and following, on El Gamal signatures, Schnorr signatures, and the DSA. -- Eric Blossom. Secure telephony Eric is working on a hardware-based secure telephone, similar to the clipper-ized AT&T secure phone. He will be discussing details of the protocols, not all cryptographic, required for implementation. -- the usual contributions from the attendees See you all there!
