3/28    What exactly are the "Digital IDs" that Outlook Express blabs about
        when I click on "Security" in the program? ... specifcally, how do
        these relate to PGP encryption?
        \_ No, it's created by combining your SS#, DOB, Mother's maiden name,
           and CDL in a complex alogorythm that involves concatenation and
           rot13.  This cryptographic innovation brought to you by Microsoft!
           The ecommerce version has your bank account and pin in there, too,
           for your convenience.

8/16    Why does it always take apple a couple weeks after realsing a system
        upgrade before posting the sha digest for the download?  -- still
        waiting for 10.3.5
        \_ FWIW, people using Software Update (post 07-12-2002) does have
           the benefit of cryptographic signature verification.

2/1     A draft paper I wrote on building better cryptographic authentication
        protocols. Feedback appreciated (either constructive or amusing).

9/22    OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 (portable, ie non-OpenBSD) has been released.
        There are multiple vulnerabilities with the PAM auth code in
        3.7.1p1, so if you use PAM (Solaris/Linux) you should upgrade.

        \_ Is there an sshd that just works?  I'd be happy with a v2 sshd
           without holes that just allows simple logins.  Any other features

12/3    The Wassenaar agreement has been signed; approximately speaking, it
        is a treaty which will require other countries to impose US-style
        export controls on cryptography.  http://www.wassenaar.org
        \_ Damn Republicans.  They had to start this whole anti-
           cryptography crap.  I can't believe Clinton actually
           supports them too.
