It's not true here anymore either. Last year there was at least one group that demonstrated a mechanism for taking a doublet and making it a quartet without effecting the entanglement. Check the cypherpunks archive for the particular post, early this year. I was the one who posted it to the list.

Killer PKI Applications (fwd)
- Forwarded message from Peter Cassidy - Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2000 18:08:00 -0500 (EST) From: Peter Cassidy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Killer PKI Applications I am engaged in an expansive and challenging authoring assignment regarding PKI's rationale in the large e-commerce plexus. I'm casting about for ideas on the killer PKI application. I'd like to hear any ideas - however wild or domesticated - in this space. I can repay all kindnesses with beer and whatever appreciations that providence provides I can bestow in the future. - End of forwarded message from Peter Cassidy - Take Plan 9's current DES based network protocol and beef it up all the way around.

starting up servers that need access to secrets (fwd)
- Forwarded message from Jeffrey M. Smith - Date: Tue, 04 Jan 2000 16:40:40 -0500 From: "Jeffrey M. Smith" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: starting up servers that need access to secrets Is there a good solution to the problem of starting up a network server that needs access to an encrypted database? For instance, a server that has its own RSA key pair encrypted on disk, and needs to decrypt it during operation so the private key is available in memory? [ text deleted] - End of forwarded message from Jeffrey M. Smith - If you find any let me know, I have the same problem myself. To date the only solution I've come up with would be some sort of PCMCIA card key generator and another algorithm on the drives boot loader that would calculate a new key based on the old key and some parameter like the time of day (the PCMCIA would have to have an independent and accurate clock itself). If the PCMCIA card is ever removed from the server it could be auto erased or perhaps simply increment the key with some alternate method that would then require a manualy typed in pass phrase (in both cases).

John Young has made available on his website a document http://cryptome.org/bernstein-mot.htm filed by the US Government with respect to the en banc rehearing of the Ninth Circuit's decision in the _Bernstein_ case. In short, the US Government is asking the court to postpone oral argument in the case until the US Government has revealed the new regulations, promised for release on December 15 1999. - End of forwarded message from Greg Broiles - Which shouldn't be relevant since his rights were impacted under the *old* law. Even if the new regulations do permit unlimited export of crypto then he'd still have a reason to push the case. The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity. W.B.
