Well, you could look at some existing code. My remailer is written in C, with most of the unix-specific stuff being done by shell scripts, so you should be able to compile some of the C code on the Mac (if you're planning to write your remailer in C). Look in: ftp myriad.pc.cc.cmu.edu /pub/remailer ftp cs.cmu.edu /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr12/mg5n/public/remailer

I've started work on a formal remailer standards document that describes just how a Cypherpunk Type I remailer should process messages, with full header descriptions, etc. After I've checked it against the behaviors of all the various Cypherpunk remailer packages (Ghio vs Eric Hollander vs Sameer vs Mixmaster in compatibility mode vs whatever else), I'll post it here for comments. -- Michael Handler <grendel@netaxs.com> Civil Liberty Through Complex Mathematics Philadelphia, PA "Toi qui fais au proscrit ce regard calme et haut" -- Baudelaire * Skotoseme PGP Key ID FC031321 Print: 9B DB 9A B0 1B 0D 56 DA 61 6A 57 AD B2 4C 7B AF

Cypherpunk Type I? Ok, what are the other types? Should there be a type specification like there is for RAID, or the Body Armor Threat levels? I would like to try my hand at writing a remailer, but I would like to see standards, and level/type specifications. E.g. The body armor threat levels are I - VI VI is able to physically stop a 50 BMG round, i.e. prevent penetration. The wearer of the armor would likely die from the shock, but would not be penetrated. Level II includes all the abilites of level I and then some, III = II + some more, etc until VI which is all of the abilities in body armor. I believe that RAID levels are 1-5, and I seem to remember that it is graduated like the body armor threat levels, so that 2=1 + some stuff, 4=3 + some stuff, etc. Should we come up with a similar type of graduated system, and specs for each, with some kind of negotiation between remailers, so that they can determine what levels to use to communicate with various remailers? Then we could talk in terms of type 6, for example, having all the abilities of levels 1-5 and then some. ---------------------------------------------------------| | #include "std/disclaimer.h" Michael P.

Currently? Only Mixmaster AKA Cypherpunk Type II. This is part of why an official standards document is needed. My specs will include the start of an `official' type specification. [ snip ]

Not a bad idea. I'll see what I can do. -- Michael Handler <grendel@netaxs.com> Civil Liberty Through Complex Mathematics Philadelphia, PA "Toi qui fais au proscrit ce regard calme et haut" -- Baudelaire * Skotoseme PGP Key ID FC031321 Print: 9B DB 9A B0 1B 0D 56 DA 61 6A 57 AD B2 4C 7B AF
