Fwd: [liberationtech] Addressing Imbalances in Communications via Cryptographic Redaction

Forwarding Brian's message with much love and migraine. The love is for you and the migraine, unfortunately, is mine. :(( The pain is being so annoying, strong and constant I was remembering a movie named "Scanners": # https://youtu.be/d6GNs6MthtU # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanners Have a great weekend, dear all! <3 Ceci, feeling like Psyduck, but without the powers... Meh! :(( PS: - https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Psyduck_(Pok%C3%A9mon) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian Dickens <brian(a)hostilefork.com> Date: Sun, Jun 25, 2017 at 3:58 PM Subject: [liberationtech] Addressing Imbalances in Communications via Cryptographic Redaction To: liberationtech(a)lists.stanford.edu Hello Liberation Tech, I've made something which I think is a "liberation" kind of technology... a way of communicating that is (in my mind) a game-changer. It's more a shift in a way of thinking than so much a specific piece of software, kind of like "wiki" is. Nevertheless, there is an implementation, and I think a pretty good one. The concept is a HTML5 "jQuery" widget you can put on web forms (any number of them) which gives the author a redaction pen, to mark out sensitive portions. The sensitive portions are never sent to the server, but the rest of it can be. Then a certificate is generated allowing selective revelation to which parties you wish. There's explanation and a video on my site: http://blackhighlighter.hostilefork.com And a live demo hosted by Heroku: http://blackhighlighter.org I've written quite a bit about it already. But to sum it up, the idea is to "flip the inbox"...so that when you send a message the buck doesn't necessarily stop with the recipient. It sits--publicly searchable--with as much information in it protected as you wanted. You can't change what's in the protected portions after-the-fact, but you can give it to parties that you want; and the message can be repeated on as many servers as necessary, with no requirement to trust the server in order to verify missing portions if you have a certificate. Despite these different "views" on the information, it's a single trackable unit of communication with the same ID throughout its lifetime. I'm not generally a web developer (I used to write compilers for Microsoft Research) so learning enough JavaScript and Node.JS to do this was not my idea of "fun". But I am pretty serious about this. The more I look at how many potential failures there are in communication--whether it be spam filtering, or "ghosting"/"hellbanning", or just the recipient being unaccountable such that the right person to read your message doesn't have the chance to find it even if they wanted to... the more I feel Blackhighlighter is needed. Please feel free to write me or call me (# on my site)...or forward this to any potentially interested parties. If I don't get back to you, publish your message on Blackhighlighter and maybe someone else will ask who you are and seek out how to contact you to get any information you marked out. :-) Best, Brian

Free speech? Bah! Who needs it :/ ** So, You Want to Clean up the World — Can You Even Clean Your Room? How Jordan B. Peterson Is Bringing Order out of Chaos http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413c… ------------------------------------------------------------ by Laurie Ring on Fri, Jun 23, 2017 A mild-mannered, soft-spoken, past middle-aged University of Toronto psychology professor with an adorable Ontario accent has taken over YouTube to fight political correctness and other chaos. Dr. Jordan B Peterson (JBP) has posted his lectures, and other random thoughts on social media. These postings are creating news ways of understanding the old ways of looking at the world. With a unique combination of evolutionary psychology, Jungian mythological psychology and the study of evil, he is breathing new life into the tired old binary between right wing and left wing ideological worldviews.

Stephen Colbert Appears on Russian TV, Says He's Considering 2020 Run for President

Stephen Colbert Appears on Russian TV, Says He's Considering 2020 Run for President http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stephen-colbert-says-hes-considering-… The American host added: "If anyone would like to work on my campaign, in an unofficial capacity, please just let me know." Taking one last shot of vodka, Colbert toasted, "A strong America, a strong Russia!" Urgant also made a toast, saying, "I'd like to make a toast to the beautiful country of the USA, which invented the Internet. Thanks to it, we can meddle with US elections." He went on to support Colbert's potential presidential run: "To you, Stephen! Good luck! We'll do everything possible to make sure you get elected." My comment: the problem is, Colbert's got no chance against Putin in the Russian elections - and it'll be mid-term anyway, so double uphill battle.

IPA / Expose Facts / Whisper: Protecting National Security Whistleblowers
by grarpamp 25 Jun '17

25 Jun '17

https://whisper.exposefacts.org/ Protecting National Security Whistleblowers: A New Program ExposeFacts, a project of the Institute for Public Accuracy, is pleased to announce the launch of a new Whistleblower and Source Protection Program (WHISPeR). WHISPeR makes ExposeFacts the first journalistic organization to house a program dedicated entirely to providing affordable legal representation to whistleblowers and sources. See video announcement. To head WHISPeR, ExposeFacts has brought in internationally renowned whistleblower and human rights attorney Jesselyn Radack as National Security and Human Rights Director. Ms. Radack represents NSA whistleblowers Edward Snowden, Thomas Drake and William Binney, CIA torture whistleblower John Kiriakou and dozens of anonymous national security and intelligence whistleblowers and sources who have been fired, criminally investigated and punished for shedding light on government and corporate illegalities. Ms. Radack will be joined by National Security and Human Rights Deputy Director Kathleen McClellan, whose decade-plus of legal experience advocating for civil liberties and human rights reforms provides invaluable expertise and support. Launched by the Institute for Public Accuracy in 2014, ExposeFacts promotes whistleblowing with a unique blend of independent journalism, methodical organizing and public outreach. Institute for Public Accuracy Executive Director Norman Solomon said: “The government’s unprecedented crackdown on ‘national security’ whistleblowers using the Espionage Act has created a chilling atmosphere for sources and journalists, giving rise to a larger war on information that the public has a right to know. At ExposeFacts, our message from the beginning has been, ‘whistleblowers welcome.’ With the launch of WHISPeR, headed by the unmatched legal powerhouse Jesselyn Radack, ExposeFacts can now provide affordable top-notch legal representation directly to some whistleblowers and sources.” WHISPeR National Security and Human Rights Director Jesselyn Radack said: “ExposeFacts is a cutting-edge initiative already recognizing the need for better source protection and making a tremendous positive impact for whistleblowers and investigative journalism. At WHISPeR, we provide journalists, sources, whistleblowers, and hacktivists with critical affordable legal protection, public advocacy, and the latest in encryption technology. It takes courageous individuals to speak truth to power. WHISPeR protects and amplifies their voices.”

AES-256 keys sniffed in seconds using E200 of kit a few inches away

AES-256 keys sniffed in seconds using E200 of kit a few inches away https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/23/aes_256_cracked_50_seconds_200_kit/ Sideband attacks that monitor a computer's electromagnetic output to snaffle passwords are nothing new. They usually require direct access to the target system and a lot of expensive machinery - but no longer. Researchers at Fox-IT have managed to wirelessly extract secret AES-256 encryption keys from a distance of one metre (3.3 feet) - using EUR200 (~US$224) worth of parts obtained from a standard electronics store - just by measuring electromagnetic radiation. At that distance sniffing the keys over the air took five minutes, but if an attacker got within 30 centimetres (11.8 inches) of a device, the extraction time is cut down to just 50 seconds.

[OT] [song] RASPUTIN - Vladimir Putin - Love The Way You Move (Funk Overload) - Slightly Left of Centre @slocband

RASPUTIN - Vladimir Putin - Love The Way You Move (Funk Overload) - Slightly Left of Centre @slocband https://youtu.be/YgGzAKP_HuM There lived a certain man in Russia long ago He was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow Most people looked at him with terror and with fear But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear He could preach the bible like a preacher Full of ecstacy and fire But he also was the kind of teacher Women would desire RA RA RASPUTIN Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone RA RA RASPUTIN Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on He ruled the Russian land and never mind the Czar But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar In all affairs of state he was the man to please But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze For the queen he was no wheeler dealer Though she'd heard the things he'd done She believed he was a holy healer Who would heal her son RA RA RASPUTIN Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone RA RA RASPUTIN Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on [Spoken:] But when his drinking and lusting and his hunger for power became known to more and more people, the demands to do something about this outrageous man became louder and louder. "This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please" No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms Then one night some men of higher standing Set a trap, they're not to blame "Come to visit us" they kept demanding And he really came RA RA RASPUTIN Lover of the Russian queen They put some poison into his wine RA RA RASPUTIN Russia's greatest love machine He drank it all and he said "I feel fine" RA RA RASPUTIN Lover of the Russian queen They didn't quit, they wanted his head RA RA RASPUTIN Russia's greatest love machine And so they shot him till he was dead [Spoken:] Oh, those Russians...
