Re: The ghost of Cypherpunks
-- > Did the Cypherpunks have their heyday and that's it? That is it. This is the ghost of cypherpunks. Cypherpunks always was a self contradiction - a political group pushing a fundamentally non political attack upon the state, and thus upon the very existence of politics. This made some sense when the state was attempting to ban and regulate encryption. It no longer attempts to do so, thus cypherpunks today has no real function. Our former evil arch nemesis is now quietly doing government do gooding to make sure that everyone has strong cryptography. Now the cypherpunks project is advanced by more boring stuff: standards, software, and business. Excessive mention of the ideological implications of certain standards and software would be counterproductive. --digsig James A.

This technique is decades old. I read an account of the British Secret Service (MI5? 6?) installing a bugged phone next to a cable machine in the London Soviet Embassy in the late 70's, but the events described took place earlier - perhaps in the 60s.
