EEPROM Programmers for the PC
by x62727g2＠usma8.USMA.EDU 05 May '93

05 May '93

Possessors of all Knowledge Great and Small, I humbly beseech thy expertise on a manner in which I have none. I have been told that one can by an EEPROM programmer which fits on a card in the PC or a similar version which merley connects to the PC. I would like to know a) if this is so? b) how much they cost? c) where to find them? d) what their memory capacities are? e) do EEPROMS run as fast as regular PROMS? f) an other pertinent data. Thank you very much! Anthony J. Gatlin |-------------------------------------| Cadet Private, Co.

Re: checks

Re: Much as I respect you Eric, I direct your attention to the myriad of "checks" being sent out by AT&T and MCI, to name a few offenders. These bear the legend: "endorsement of this check constitutes your acceptance of <foo> as your long distance carrier." When those go out in English to non-English speakers and get cashed, there is a good case to be made for consumer fraud. Anyone want to follow up on that...? -gg

pgp temp files.
by J. Michael Diehl 05 May '93

05 May '93

After using pgp to read an encrypted message, I ran chkdsk on my hard drive. I was astonished to find that chkdsk found an error on my hard drive, but I was even more astonished to find that when I recovered the error to a file, it contained most of a message I had just read using pgp. Apearantly, this was what was left of a temp file that pgp used. IMHO, pgp should have wiped this file. Maybe I should try to use a ramdisk as my temp-file path. Just thought ya'll should know that pgp may not be as secure as we hope. In my effort to write a menu system for pgp-encrypted email, I use pgp very often, and in very unusuall ways. Consequently, I have found a (very) few weaknesses in the program. Is anyone currently supporting pgp, or am I on my own? If anyone is supporting pgp, I'd like to talk to you. ;^) Thanx in advance. +-----------------------+-----------------------------+---------+ | J.

MYK-78

To quote myself: >[CV,checkword,L1,L2,IV] is a self-checkin+nit which means that these data items must be loaded in this order (MSB first) and must all have been properly constructed via the Skipjack algorithm, else the MYK-78 will yank on its ERROR line. To build a proper protocol, CV (= session key) and checkword would be encrypted, and to be a proper citizen, L1,L2,IV would be transmitted in the clear. The funny thing is, that after loading the "self-checking unit", and checking it, MYK-78 will still accept a different CV. I specifically had this verified. It will encrypt funny, since the CV won't properly match the rest of the loading, but it shouldn't be too hard to use this encryption mode. There are actually several ways to abuse this chip -- another obvious one is tonever power it off, and run with the first LEEF you ever get -- it just seems to cry out in masochism. A real consumer crypto chip wouldn't be this flexible. I hope to be able to say something about the true protocol for law-abiding American citizens in the near future. -a2. ps: though I will continue to post to Cypherpunks, if you wish me to read something, please send it to me directly. -a2.

All: ZENGER has been around for a long time. It is connected to a long tradition and network. It will be part of the future. And it realizes the importance of crypto-systems in any _real_ underground movement. When ZENGER has decided to come above ground for their latest publication, the cypherpunks will be informed of distribution channels. Until then, keep up the fight! More to come....

ADMIN: allowable use
by Nickey MacDonald 05 May '93

05 May '93

I just putting this out to test the "temperature" of the cypherpunks "waters"... I am considering posting a questionaire that I would like each cypherpunk to answer... Its not written yet, thought I do have a good idea of what I want to ask, and I suspect it would be a little lengthy (I can think of a good 10 questions, each requiring a paragraph or two to answer). My goal of the questionaire would be to see what type of people use cryptography... (Quite a simple goal... but not easily met...) I will of course make the results available to the group, and optionally the raw data (the person filling it out would have the option of not having any "written" (more than a yes or no) answer "published"). Would the majority consider this good use of cypherpunks bandwidth, or are you all too secretive? --- Nick MacDonald | NMD on IRC i6t4(a)jupiter.sun.csd.unb.ca | PGP 2.1 Public key available via finger
