Research announcement: A new cryptanalytic attack on DES
As usual, Blaze/AT&T uses cypherpunks to spread FUD from it's NSA masters. This time, however, he's stolen the work of others and twisted it to suit the corporate goals. Bet his next message is a commercial from AT&T for the clipper chip, which, they will ass-u-re us, fixes this socalled <<attack>>. Someone should sue Blaze and AT&T. Blaze, who is a wellknown homosexual Jew, probably can expect a nice bonus in next weeks blood money check for thinking of this latest little stunt, so I'm sure he can afford the legal fees. Just a cost of doing biz, right? Shame on him! p.S. I know this post sounds angry but this kind of shit just pisses me off so much.

How much of a bonus do you think he got for exposing the flaw in the clipper chip?

Is there anything wrong with being a homosexual Jew? Can you elaborate?

Exactly what pisses you off? The message Blase posted implies that there are serious problems with making "tamperproof" devices. This sounds like good news to me, as it makes it significantly harder for the government to realy on the secrecy of encryption keys for "LEAF" packets. If you think there is something incorrect or dishonest about the announcement Blaze forwarded, I'd like to hear about it. However, I'm trying to follow your logic but can't figure it out. You claim: 1. Blaze stole the work of others. How can this be since he clearly attributed the message to Biham/Shamir 2. He's twisted the work to fit his corporate needs. How does discrediting tamper-proof hardware fit the needs of AT&T? 3. Blaze is about to endorse the clipper chip in his next message. Why would Blaze endorse a system he has already shown is flawed? Anyway, since he hasn't endorsed the clipper chip yet, why can't we wait and see what he does before attacking him?
This is obviously just more of dimitri's bullshit. The only thing that should have been taken seriously about the post is that it illustrated well why he has no fucking place on this list. You can't argue with mean spirited stupidity, and I wouldn't even try if I were you, it's a waste of packets, much like dimitri's presence on the net. Tim Scanlon

Tim (using a different last name) is lying. I did not write the anonymous article about Matt Blaze. I think it was written by Tim May, who's trying to blame all sorts of garbage on me.

Shame on him!
Glad to see you're smart enough to not likle clipper. And if you don't like DES, don't use it. I don't. anyway enough of my naive comments, but please refrain from describing to us the perversities of others...
