Department of Defence communications spooks are restricting the use of
wireless BlackBerry devices in government over concerns about the
security of confidential and restricted information.

The Defence Signals Directorate (DSD), the nation's high-tech
electronic eavesdropper, says the popular devices must not be used to
transmit confidential or secret information or connect to systems that
process it.

Agencies may use BlackBerry devices with systems that handle
unclassified, x-in-confidence (excluding cabinet-in-confidence) and
restricted information.

Telstra, one of several providers of BlackBerry services, insists the
systems are secure.

They are used by a lot of customers that require high levels of
security in the financial services industry, and even the CIA and the
Pentagon, a Telstra spokesman says.

Paul Osmond, Asia-Pacific regional director of BlackBerry developer
Research In Motion, is thrilled the Government has decided the
Department of Defence can use the device, because 18 months ago they
were prohibited.

Their restrictions are fairly common when you look at a first
go-around, Osmond says. They are similar to those the US defence
forces put out when they first used it.

The DSD will review the guidelines in February when it is expected RIM
and ISPs will seek to have their say.

The hand-held BlackBerry device, which allows access to corporate
email, including attachments, from almost any location, has become the
new must-have corporate accessory in the US and is receiving strong
support here.

But the swarm of new mobile computing devices poses security
challenges to government and private organisations. They are keen to
have the functionality but worry about privacy and access.

Other consumer devices have also generated alarm. A British security
firm's survey revealed Apple's iPod, which has large portable storage
capacity and can be plugged into most PCs, is considered a threat.

Sometimes such concerns can seem overblown, as in 1999 when the Furby,
a computerised toy, was banned from US National Security Agency
premises because it could be used as a recorder.

'Virtual Debit Card' Aims
 To Combat Online Fraud

By JENNIFER SARANOW
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
November 16, 2004; Page D2


Consumers typically have been wary of using bank cards online. One bank's
solution is to get rid of the cards.

In an effort to ease customers' concerns about fraud and identity theft
when shopping online, PNC Bank has launched a new checking account with a
virtual debit card. In addition to a regular debit card that can be used
at automated teller machines and in stores, the Digital Checking account
comes with an eSpend card. The card is basically a piece of paper with an
account number, expiration date and verification code for making purchases
online, over the phone and by mail order. Customers can set a daily limit
for their eSpend card (say $1,000) and once that amount is spent,
additional purchases won't be approved.

PNC Bank, a unit of PNC Financial Services Group Inc., Pittsburgh, hopes
the eSpend card will attract people who want to make purchases online with
their debit card but are uncomfortable doing so for fear of making their
bank account vulnerable to fraud.

If an unauthorized person obtains a customer's eSpend number, only the
specified daily limit could be taken out of a customer's bank account. If
this occurs, PNC says customers aren't liable for the charges. Purchases
made with the eSpend card show up separately on bank statements. The
account, which is aimed at online-banking customers, also comes with
identity-theft reimbursement insurance, a debit card rewards program and no
fee for using non-PNC ATMs. The account has a monthly $11 service fee
unless customers opt for direct deposit of paychecks or government checks
such as Social Security, and pay at least three bills online.

The eSpend card comes as debit cards are quickly overtaking cash and checks
as preferred methods of payment. According to a report from the American
Bankers Association and Boston-based Dove Consulting, 31% of in-store
purchases were made with a debit card last year, up from 21% in 1999.

Consumers typically have been wary of using debit cards online because,
unlike credit cards, they are directly tied to bank accounts. But online
use of debit cards is starting to grow. In the first quarter of this year,
Visa debit cards were used for 46% of online purchases, up from 43% a year
earlier, according to Visa International.

Analysts are skeptical about how excited consumers will be about PNC's new
card. I think it's an interesting idea but if you look at consumer usage,
consumers are using their debit cards online today in increasing numbers,
so it's unclear how much of a demand there would be for a card with that
unique application, says Tony Hayes, a Dove analyst.

Other banks have long offered similar credit-card products as a way to
encourage purchases on the Internet and reduce the amount of fraud they are
liable for. In June of 2002, for example, Citigroup Inc.'s Citibank
launched free, downloadable software that allows credit-card customers to
obtain a new disposable account number each time they make a purchase
online. A downside: Such virtual account numbers can't be used when a
credit card must be shown at pickup.

The Beginning of the Crypto Era
November 15, 2004

 By   Larry Seltzer
 In a move that was totally expected, if a little early, Yahoo has
announced that it will put its money where its mouth is and start checking
Yahoo Mail with its DomainKeys system.


The company had told me that it would do so by the end of the year, but I
suppose it had had this last week, during the FTC e-mail authentication
summit, as an internal deadline. Earthlink also announced that it will test
DomainKeys on its system.

DomainKeys is important. It is the main implementation of the second of the
two most credible approaches to SMTP authentication, specifically the use
of cryptographic signatures to authenticate messages against the domains
from which they were sent. The other approach-to check against the IP
addresses of the servers in those domains-also moved forward recently with
the second version of the Sender ID spec.

Don't assume that the DomainKeys implementation is the final form. There is
an IETF group called ietf-mailsig working in preliminary stages to
standardize the crypto approach to SMTP authentication and they might want
to make some changes to the approach used by Yahoo. And I expect Yahoo to
be open to such suggestions.

In fact, Yahoo's openness to reasonable suggestions and unobjectionable
licenses is a big reason to be optimistic about widespread adoption of it.
Indeed, while Yahoo has intellectual property claims on its developments in
DomainKeys, the company isn't being a jerk about it, like some other
coMpanieS in this business that shall remain naMeleSs.
There are some interesting questions about DomainKeys and Yahoo's handling
of it. The first has to do with performance. My own first impression of
cryptography as a solution was that the added performance burden on MTAs
(message transfer agents, better known as mail servers) would be great and
that many companies would have to upgrade their hardware to run a
DomainKeys-enabled server with decent performance. In a recent eSeminar in
which I participated, Richi Jennings of Ferris Research echoed this view.

But while it's still too early to tell, there's reason to believe the
performance issue is not as serious as first impressions would indicate.
I've spoken to Sendmail, the leading MTA company in the world, about it.
Nobody, except Yahoo, has more hands-on experience actually testing and
coding DomainKeys than Sendmail. Sendmail thinks the added performance
burden, entirely CPU-based, is on the order of 15 percent to 20 percent.
This isn't nothing, but MTAs aren't typically CPU-constrained-they are
network- and perhaps disk-constrained-so there could easily be spare CPU
capacity in the typical MTA (unless it's running Exchange Server or Notes,
in which case it's CPU-starved).

Next Page:  Why no SPF implementation?

The other question I have about Yahoo is why it has refused to implement
SPF. Sender Policy Framework is the uncontroversial part of Sender ID, the
part that checks the message envelope.

 Many people still argue that SPF is all we really need. But no serious
people believe this, least of all SPF's author Meng Weng Wong, who is a
principal author and sponsor of the Sender ID spec and also a fan of
DomainKeys. All SPF really stops is bounce messages, also known as Joe
Jobs. It's an important part of the solution, but it's far from an
adequate one.

But it is an easy one, and there's no good technical reason why Yahoo
should resist it. All the other major mail providers, to my knowledge, are
implementing SPF as part of their experimentation. The answer for Yahoo is
probably something as stupid as not wanting people to get the misimpression
that they are hedging on DomainKeys. I asked the company about this several
weeks ago, and it weaseled out of a direct answer. Most dissatisfying.

The Yahoo announcement focuses on phishing, probably because it's topical.
Spam has become a major annoyance, but phishing is scary. And SPF does
nothing to address phishing. This is why Microsoft developed Caller ID, the
header portion of Sender ID.

I should also take a moment to wag my finger at those who continue to
express concern at how spammers are adopting SPF and other authentication
standards in order to get around them. I don't know if they're walking into
a trap or if they're just experimenting, but it won't do them any good. The
more spammers authenticate, the easier they will make themselves to block.
For insights on security coverage around the Web, check out eWEEK.com
Security Center Editor Larry Seltzer's Weblog.

Remember, authentication systems are not complete anti-spam systems. They
just identify who is sending the mail, not why they are sending it. This
whole approach requires the coordinated use of reputation systems that will
use the authenticated address to tell you whether a sender is trustworthy.
In such a scenario, an

Hi y'all, its tuesday again

* 1) Congestion

I know, I'm breaking the habit of naming point 1 Net status, but
this week congestion seems appropriate.  The network itself has
been doing pretty well, but as the bittorrent usage increased, things
started getting more and more clogged up, leading to an essential
congestion collapse [1].

This was expected, and only reinforces our plan - get the new
streaming lib out there, and revamp our tunnel management so we have
sufficient data about peers to use when our fast peers fail.  There
were some other factors in play in the recent network problems, but
the bulk can be traced to the congestion increase and resulting
tunnel failures (which in turn caused all sorts of wild peer
selection).

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congestion_collapse

* 2) Streaming

There has been a lot of progress with the streaming lib, and I've got
a squid proxy rigged up to it through the live net that I've been
using it frequently for my normal web browsing.  With mule's help,
we've been hammering the streams pretty hard too by piping frost and
FUQID through the network (my god, I never realized how abusive frost
was before doing this!)  A few significant longstanding bugs have
been tracked down this way, and some tweaks to help control massive
numbers of connections have been added.

Bulk streams are working great too, with both slow start and
congestion avoidance, and the quick send/reply connections (ala HTTP
get+response) are doing exactly what they should.

I expect we'll draft some volunteers to try deploying it further over
the next few days, and hopefully get us to the 0.4.2 level soon.  I
don't want to say it'll be so good that it does your dishes, and I'm
sure there'll be bugs that slip through, but it does look promising.

* 3) BT

Barring the recent network troubles, the i2p-bt port has been making
leaps and bounds.  I know a few people have pulled down over a GB of
data through it, and performance has been as expected (due to the old
streaming lib, ~4KBps per peer in the swarm).  I try to listen in on
the work being discussed in the #i2p-bt channel - perhaps duck could
give us a summary in the meeting?

* 4) ???

Thazzit from me for now.  See y'all in the meeting in a few minutes.

ISP LICENSING CONDITIONS  AMENDED TO PERMIT VPN SERVICES


New Delhi,  Kartika 19, 1926
November 10, 2004

The Department of Telecommunications today decided to extend the scope of
the Licence conditions of Internet Service Providers (ISP) ,thereby
allowing them to provide managed Virtual Private Network services to
corporates and individuals.

In accordance with the decision, the ISP licences (both -Licence without
Internet Telephony and with Internet Telephony) will have an enabling
provision for VPN services by ISPs under specified terms  conditions. The
annual licence fee will be at 8% of the Gross Revenue generated under the
licence. There will be one time non-refundable entry fee of Rs. 10, 2 and 1
crore for Category A, B , and C ISPs respectively

ISP-with VPN licencee will be permitted to lay optical fibre cable or
use radio links for provision of the services under their licence in its
Service Area.  Further, ISPs shall be free to enter into mutually agreed
commercial agreement with infrastructure service providers for sharing of
infrastructure.  The ISPs shall not engage in reselling bandwidth directly
or indirectly.  The above decision will help as many 388 ISP Licensees,
more particularly 61 all India (Category A) ISP Licensees, to offer VPN
services to their customers, thus adding to their revenue stream from
Internet Access Services.

VPN is a service where a customer perceives to have been provided with a
private network which actually is configured over a shared public network.
Benefits of VPN include secure communication over public network and
guaranteed quality of service.  A High Level DoT Committee had examined
the matter and had observed that while on one hand such VPN services were
not under the scope of the present ISP licences, on the other hand it
would be desirable to permit ISPs to provide such services in the present
day liberalized telecom environment in the country.  The services which
are technologically possible should be allowed while at the same time
ensuring level playing field to all the service providers.  Such VPN
services which provide a platform for utilization of bandwidth in a very
cost effective and efficient manner are emerging services internationally.
This facility is necessary for the corporate world in meeting their
growing communication needs of inter-office connectivity to send/transfer
data securely and such services are widely available in telecom sector
globally.

Al Qaeda propaganda website shut down


Wednesday November 17, 05:54 AM


Al-Qaeda propaganda website shut down

A web site that reportedly contained speeches by Suleiman Abu Ghaith, an
alleged spokesman for al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, was shut down by a
Swedish internet provider after the site was traced to its server.

Spray Network, a subsidiary of Lycos Europe, shut the site down after being
informed of the site, said Fredrik Skaerheden, a Spray Network spokesman.


We have a very clear policy that any material that in any way may urge or
encourage criminal acts or violence is immediately removed, Skaerheden told
The Associated Press.

The web site, www.members.lycos.co.uk/abugaith1, reportedly contained
several audio files of Abu Ghaith giving speeches and sermons in Arabic, and
contained several violent and bloody images.

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI, which first
traced the site to the Swedish server, at least one of the sermons called
for Muslims to give their lives to fight the United States.

A report on MEMRI's Web site quoted the sermon as hailing bin Laden and
describing the Jihad fighters as people who seek death as others seek life
and seek Allah's promise in the Koran and sacrifice their property, their
blood, and their lives as a sign of the sincerity of their faith.

Anyone can create a web site for free on Lycos' servers, Skaerheden said,
adding that many of the Lycos Europe member sites are hosted by Spray's
servers in the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

DALLAS SERVER COMPANY CARRIES ZARQAWI DEATH VIDEOS, TERRORIST WEBSITES
*   THE PLANET.COM SAYS IT IS UNWITTING VICTIM, CAN'T POLICE ITSELF
Nov 14, 2004 11:00 pm US/Central

By Todd Bensman and Robert Riggs
The Investigators
CBS-11 News

CARBONDALE, ILL. -- The grainy Internet movie file flashes a title: Al
Qaeda Movement in the Land of the Two Rivers. An Operation Against the
British Troops Near Baghdad.

The streaming online video clip shows a car as it motors slowly up a
single-lane road, away from the cameraman who shakily zooms in as it
gathers speed toward a British checkpoint. A caption appears, reading Here
goes the brave lion to tear up his prey and to win paradise. The cameraman
is speaking in Arabic, his voice rising with God is Great, God is Great
as the car at center screen arrives at the British checkpoint and a soldier
standing in the road.

Suddenly, a massive fireball of orange and black lashes upward and outward,
instantly slaughtering him and wounding two other British soldiers of the
Black Watch Regiment, along with the suicide bomber, according to later
press reports. The Jihadists responsible are then filmed at the scene
kicking a dismembered arm left behind by a recovery tank squad.

This is a movie clip put up just last week by notorious terrorist Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi's organization within a few days of the actual Nov. 7 attack.

Sometime over the weekend, as CBS-11 aired promotions for this story, it
disappeared with others of its ilk on an Internet server owned by an
up-and-coming Dallas web site hosting company called The Planet. In
downtown Dallas ((www.theplanet.com). Glorifying the slaughter of American
soldiers and their allies in Iraq. Helping to enhance the global street
credentials of Zarqawi among any like-minded person with access to a
computer.

Aaron Weisburd, a self-appointed cyber warrior who since 2002 has run a
crusade called Internet Haganah (www.Internet-Haganah.us) to shut down
these so-called e-jihadists, is the one who tracked the movies to Dallas.
And in recent weeks, Weisburd has discovered that Zarqawi's home movies on
The Planet servers have plenty of other bad company in Big D.

The Planet's Dallas servers have in recent months hosted web sites run by
Islamic extremist organizations the U.S. government has long since banned
as Designated Terrorist Organizations - three different Palestinian Islamic
Jihad promotional sites and Hamas' monthly news magazine. Two Hamas
websites and two Al Quaeda websites remain on The Planet's servers,
according to Internet Haganah.

For the past two and a half years, Weisburd and his Internet Haganah
(www.haganah.us) volunteer translators and analysts across the globe have
been using a tracking program he devised to expose the presence of
extremist outlawed Jihadists and hound them off the Web by asking the
server companies to drop their business.

A former computer programmer, Weisburd started chasing after e-jihadists on
a lark and soon realized that literally thousands of extremist Islamic web
sites were out there in cyberspace, beckoning to millions of Muslims around
the world to join their bloody causes.

Every moment that these sites are up they encourage jihadists to commit
acts of terrorism, Weisburd told CBS-11 News in his first interview with
an American media organization. They provide instructions to people in how
to do things like build bombs. They build identity and a sense of
community. They incite violence. They encourage people to go out and kill
people.

I'm of the opinion that one ought not to just sit there and tolerate
terrorists advertising their organization, he said. They're not just some
other organization. They're not a humanitarian organization. They're not a
corporation. They're terrorists. They're in the business of killing people.
They shouldn't be allowed to enjoy that kind of legitimacy.

- From his home office in the southern Illinois college town of Carbondale,
Weisburd has found sites in Dallas literally singing the praises of suicide
bombing, sporting photo memorials of martyrs and promoting their bloody,
violent causes. Working internationally, he claims his efforts have knocked
down more than 550 extremist web sites.

Sometimes, he said, service provider companies resist but most do not want
to be associated with terrorists.

My guess is that in the grand scheme of things one bad customer isn't
worth nearly as much as all the good customers you want to keep who don't
want to be associated with this stuff either, Weisburd said. I mean, do
you really want to be known as associated with terrorists?

Most of the time, the giant service providers do not know what kinds of web
sites they are hosting until someone complains. Such companies typically
sell wholesalers their web space and those wholesalers in turn contract

I have never suggested that any despotism was lightning fast or

even slower and less efficient.

It is not travel distance that makes for slow reactions, but
the fact that everything has to be cleared with the top, the

  Qin had a cult of personality, in which every single person 
  subject to his control had to participate.   A subject of 
  Qin, like a subject of Mao,  was more aware of Qin, than he 
  was of his mother and father.

Tyler Durden:
 You are apparently simply unaware of the real size and 
 terrain of China. There were villages in remote parts of 
 China that were unaware of Mao's death into the early 1980s.

Bullshit.  Everyone knew that which the regime decided they
must know.  And if true, which I very much doubt, you are not
only arguing that Qin's legalism was a different thing than
communism/nazism, you are also arguing that Mao's communism was
a different thing than Stalin's communism.

It was a lot harder to get to Afghanistan from Moscow than to 
get to any place in China from Peking, yet every Afghan child 
knew in painfully excessive detail what Moscow commanded them 
to know, and the regime was partially successful in preventing 
them from knowing what it wished them to not know.

When, during the great leap forward, Peking commanded 
unreasonable grain requisitions from the provinces, *all* 
provinces contributed, and *all* provinces suffered starvation.

It is often said that Mao's famine was an unfortunate accident, 
while Stalin's famines were intentional, but any differences 
are merely a matter of greater self deception.  Both did the 
same things for the same reasons, but Stalin justified his 
actions by anti peasant rhetoric - liquidation of the kulaks, 
whereas Mao justified his action by pro peasant rhetoric, but 
this is a mere difference in the emphasis in the 
rationalizations and propaganda, not any difference in means 
and ends.

Both used ruthless terror to establish extraordinary control 
over a far flung empire that had formerly been ruled by 
relatively light hand, and then used that extraordinary control 
to extort extraordinary resources from the peasantry.  The 
difference between Stalin's frequent references to the poor 
peasants (who were supposedly carrying out the liquidation of 
the kulaks in revolutionary zeal) and Mao's similar references 
is merely that Mao was more thorough in creating the simulation 
of a mass movement.

This is where the Simplistic Grid comes in. The momentum of Chinese 
culture will oalways outlive any short-term despotism, and the Chinese on 
many levels know this. When it comes to China, even some of the 
Han-dominated areas are incredibly difficult to get to, and when you start 
talking about Southern parts of Yunnan, most parts of Tibet, and places like 
Qinhai and Xinjiang, the idea of a lightening-fast and efficient despotism 
starts to sound dubious. Indeed, these areas are only barely under Beijing 
control today. It's also a main reason why Burma and the Golden triangle 
find it very easy to ship heroin overland through China to Hong Kong rather 
than go at it via a more direct route.


When, during the great leap forward, Peking commanded
unreasonable grain requisitions from the provinces, *all*
provinces contributed, and *all* provinces suffered starvation.
Anhui and central China suffered far more than other parts of China. I'd 
guess that 70% of the deaths due to starvation during 58 to about 64 
occurred in that part of Central China. The obvious reasons were: 1) 
Proximity and easy communicatuion with Beijing, and 2) Large tracts of 
previously arable land (ie, you don't bother exerting despotism over an area 
that can't do much anyway).

you are also arguing that Mao's communism was
a different thing than Stalin's communism.
No, I am arguing that Chinese communism was a different thing from Soviet 
commusim, for the precise reason that the weight of Chinese history would be 
fairly quick to erase Chinese commusim. Any China hand could have predicted 
exactly that, and indeed that's precisely what happened. Our decision to 
back the far-more corrupt Chiang regime all the way to 1973 or whenever, was 
a major blunder, if for no other reason then to accelerate the isolation of 
the Soviets. Mao would have been very hip to the manuever, and I bet would 
have welcomed it (The Soviets were never very useful to the Chinese 
communists). In other words, even a smart rabid anti-communist should have 
recognized that backing Mao's Bandits was at some point obvious, but most 
were far too blinded by their ideology to see that.

The same thing's happening with Iraq and Iran. Iran's making overtures that 
we consistently ignore because were too darned dumb and power-oriented to 
see the opportunity.
