UK amends e-mail plans
By Jean Eaglesham, Legal Correspondent Published: August 18 2000 19:09GMT | Last Updated: August 18 2000 20:28GMT The UK government has bowed to industry pressure to change its draft rules on companies' monitoring of e-mails and phone calls being introduced under the controversial Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, governing surveillance by the police. It is also "urgently discussing" ways of extending the four week consultation period on the rules beyond next Friday. The change now agreed will allow companies to read messages sent to employees who are on holiday or off work ill. The government had hoped to rush through the draft rules in time for the October 2 implementation of the Human Rights Act. The existing law on police phone tapping failed a challenge at the European Court of Human Rights and the Home Office is adamant that the RIP Act should be in force on October 2. But the draft rules on business monitoring have attracted criticism from industry and employee representatives. The Department of Trade and Industry said last night it had identified some options for extending the "unusually brief" August-only consultation period, which it was "urgently discussing" with the Home Office. The DTI has also agreed to meet one of the principal industry criticisms. The rules, as they stand, would make it illegal for businesses to check up on employee e-mails and phone calls without the consent of both the sender and receiver. There are only a few, narrowly defined, exceptions to this "no consent" rule. This would make it impossible for companies to read e-mails received by people who are away from the workplace, since there would be no way of checking whether the sender's consent was required or had been given. The DTI said the regulations would be changed to "make it clear businesses are able to monitor communications such as colleagues' e-mail accounts in order to check whether these are business messages that need to be dealt with in their absence". Employees would have to be informed such monitoring might occur. The Confederation of British Industry, the main employers' organisation, on Friday night welcomed the news of the climbdown. But it still wanted to discuss with the DTI other issues arising from the rules. Industry groups have commissioned lawyers to look at whether the legal basis of the rules is flawed. The government claims European legislation - the Telecommunications Data Protection Directive - requires it to legislate on companies' surveillance. However, lawyers have questioned whether that directive extends to private, as well as public, networks. Lawyers also warn the regulations could trigger human rights challenges by employers and employees.

CIA courting Silicon Valley
U.S. spy agency's venture capital fund now bankrolling 8 high tech startups August 18, 2000: 3:17 p.m. ET NEW YORK (CNNfn) - It is probably among the last places most entrepreneurs would think of tapping for venture capital funding. Regardless, the Central Intelligence Agency has gotten into the game of providing much- needed seed money for high technology startups. It took a lot of arm-twisting to persuade Congress and some in the intelligence bureaucracy that starting a venture capital fund to keep critical government agencies like the CIA at the forefront of new technology would be a good idea. Yet, that task was accomplished and Congress approved $28 million last year for the project and In-Q-Tel was born. To date, In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture fund, has reviewed more than 300 business plans and provided seed money for eight high-tech companies. Most of them share a common mission of creating new security technology. Indeed, In-Q-Tel is going to provide money only to companies whose products can in some way benefit U.S. security interests. Gilman Louie, In-Q-Tel's CEO, said in an appearance Friday on CNNfn's Market Call that in addition to computer security he is interested in such things as sensor technology that could help U.S. military and spies detect biological and chemical weapons. In-Q-Tel differs from traditional venture funds in at least one significant way: It is not a money-making operation. The fund has non-profit status and any earnings it makes on its investments will be sent straight to the United States Treasury. A departure for Washington The fund is a real departure for Washington and for the United States' spy agency. Traditionally, technology for government agencies was developed in tightly secured government labs or contracted with private corporations. These days, however, information lags far behind technology, meaning that by the time anyone finds out about it, the next wave is already on the way. In the information explosion of the last decade, the CIA lost a lot of the edge it had in high technology. Wireless gadgets and high-tech products like satellite images and electronic surveillance equipment, now available to the public, including terrorists, were once the exclusive domain of the government. Creating this fund is an experiment to try to put the CIA back in the position of high-tech predominance it held throughout the Cold War. (230K WAV) or (230K AIF) CIA spies have a host of technology needs. In addition to tiny sensors and the most secure computers in the world, the agency has put out the call for stronger Internet search engines, technology that will allow them to surf the Internet in complete secrecy, and software that can translate every language in the world. Former computer game designer leads effort The choice of Louie to run the fund also is a departure for Washington. Louie, 39, is no government wonk. He's a former Silicon Valley techno whiz who earned digital renown when, in his early 20's, he created the flight simulator, Falcon. He later sold his company to Hasbro for $70 million. Most recently, Louie was Hasbro Interactive's chief creative officer and general manager of the Games.com group, which oversees Hasbro's Internet games site. Not only is the pace of technology too fast for government agencies to keep up, Louie said, but it is rapidly becoming too costly to try to develop all the technology to meet government needs alone. Louie described his position at In-Q-Tel as that of a human translator. He explains the government's technology needs to Silicon Valley entrepreneurs in the hope of inspiring them to work with In-Q-Tel. He also hopes to convey to cutting edge firms in Silicon Valley that in many areas, such as information security, the governments needs are very much in line with the needs of corporate America. "The CIA has very advanced needs," he said. "We can really help them get the first mover advantage because a lot of companies have these needs, too." At least two other government agencies, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the U.S. Postal Service, are looking at creating similar ventures.Ê Copyright © 2000, CNN America, INC.

Encryption Gets Really Small
(08/18/00, 6:30 p.m. ET) By Ron Copeland, InformationWeek Scientists at the University of Geneva are collaborating with the Swiss Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications on an experiment that uses quantum computers to run an unbreakable encryption algorithm. Cryptography could, in fact, be the first commercial application for the nascent technology. Quantum computers can process data millions of times faster than the quickest supercomputer. But being so small, they also can take advantage of the peculiar rules of quantum physics. Conventional computers create bits of information, and each bit is either a 0 or a 1. Quantum bits, or qubits, can be both 0 and 1 or any combination of the two numbers. What's more, qubits can't be cloned or copied, making it virtually impossible for someone to break code encrypted with a quantum computer. Before quantum computing goes commercial, many hurdles must be cleared, not the least of which will be deciding if the miniscule machines will support open-source Linux or Windows from Microsoft Corp. (stock: MSFT), Redmond, Wash.

I don't believe this is possible. This always has been the belief of
the Revolutionary Left or Anarchists (" Propaganda By the Deed").
Those who steal our rights can do this exactly because they have
superior firepower and effectively wield a monopoly of coercion.
We cannot win through violence ("politics"). We can through the
correct application of technology to economics.
Making the taxmen bankrupt will be more effective in the long term than
trying to shoot each one.

Blowfish and IDEA in Silicon
Hi, I just posted a paper on hardware designs for Blowfish and IDEA. The paper was originally for CHES but rejected. As far as I know, this is the only design of Blowfish in an ASIC. The ciphers were designed in Verilog and synthesized to both PLDs and a standard cell library; they haven't been fabbed; that project has stopped, alas. The paper includes descriptions of the cores, timing, performance, and resource consumption (gates, RAM, ROM). The 52k .pdf is http://www.geocities.com/asicipher/fishnchips.pdf and I am willing to answer questions. I am aware that the paper is a bit unfinished. David
