I'm a newspaper reporter researching a how-to story on crypto. 1) Besides RIPEM, PGP and ViaCrypt PGP, any suggestions for capsule reviews of other public-key products? I'm interested only in public-key implementations. 2) Are there stego programs out there that will weave cipherdata into digital pictures or audio? 3) Has anyone reviewed the AT&T secure phones & modems? Your thoughts? Please reply by e-mail as I am not a list subscriber. I also am a big believer in encrypting all traffic, so here is my public key. I am not looking to quote anyone -- all I need are ideas. However, if you say something temptingly quotable, I'll email you back for permission. Short of your grant of permission, I consider your material for background purposes, i.e., I'm free to use it without attributing where I got it. -----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- Version: 2.4 mQCNAi16V84AAAEEAMNVRFU+CqFRhaOnnZ5hdY8D0o/3tdwzV08D1p/gLP9l8fYZ LKVFsuIQKzna4PSMoJyeUVWUcBftLQCNX0K+phzqTdpMPEnH82ToH8JGgRg873Fq WaQkzj3M+K3ExYVC2EVFfAvOa1iCyRCSrEr2hfQOP99XYMFS7w8UUf0SamE5AAUR tAVsZGZqcg== =nH+6 -----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK----- -- Loren Fleckenstein 37211.3713@cserve.com reporter, The Press-Enterprise office tel.

It just came to mind about a funny stego (usage) thread in an in-company newsgroup at a company I was contracting at. They were 'downsizing' and planning on laying off a fairly large percentage of people. There was a discussion obliquely related in one of the local talk groups. The seemingly related messages all furthered the point in a diplomatic way, except the first letter of each line spelled a more direct statement. (JERKS, SUCKS, ...) It was pretty funny, especially when people responded to the ostensible message and then later found out about the stego one. One person started it and those that noticed followed up likewise. sdw -- Stephen D.
