They found that there was one watermarking product on the market that was not defeated by their standard mechanism, and developed a new mechanism that defeated that one too. Of course, the state of the art in watermarking may have moved on since that paper was written, but if anyone knows of a watermarking product for images that has not already been defeated I'd be interested to know. -- __ \/ o\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got a Linux strategy? \ / /\__/ Paul Crowley http://www.hedonism.demon.co.uk/paul/ /~\
Re: BXA press release URL; and where to get the regs in HTML
Given this: "``Open cryptographic interface''. A mechanism which is designed to allow a customer or other party to insert cryptographic functionality without the intervention, help or assistance of the manufacturer or its agents, e.g., manufacturer's signing of cryptographic code or proprietary interfaces. If the cryptographic interface implements a fixed set of cryptographic algorithms, key lengths or key exchange management systems, that cannot be changed, it will not be considered an ``open'' cryptographic interface. All general application programming interfaces (e.g., those that accept either a cryptographic or non-cryptographic interface but do not themselves maintain any cryptographic functionality) will not be considered ``open'' cryptographic interfaces." Does that render moot the Apache problems with having crypto hooks? I'm wondering if the hooks for that would qualify as a general programming interface. -joe francis

Working for Xerox I can assure you that all of our colour machines together with all our competitors colour machines leave a "trace". Pointer to how this trace is applied, recorded, accounted for, and handled when components are swapped out? --dan
