- If you have any wonderful ideas that have not been discussed
- before about data security, communications security, and computer
- security let me know.
-
- I am helping to research a book on computer security and data encryption.
- Anyone that provides a new insightful idea or technique can
- get their name and email address listed in the credits.
- Just because you mail does not mean you get your name in the credits,
- you have to give me something good.
-
- I already know about multiple encryptions of DES, so dont tell me about
- that.
-
- I dont want to know about this wonderful thing called 'public-key'
- I know about that too.
-
- What I DO want is something new and innovative, like how your neighbor
- converted his tv and shortwave to monitor the computer screens at the bank.
- Or how you pass secret keys using carrier pidgeons.
- Or how you implement the Canary Trap in your mail.
- Or how you keep the FBI from learning from your computer after they have
- confiscated it.
- Or how you converted your bedroom to a TEMPEST/VanEck proof area.
- Or how you tapped your schools fiberoptic network.
-
- Tell me what you think about Nortons Diskreet, Wipeinfo
- Tell me about such and such program that claims to be DES but is
- really Caesar.
- Tell me if there is a vendor that sells one-time pad systems.
- Tell me how to beat ethernet encryption software
- Tell me if you have some way of sending data besides modem, microwave,
- internet, compuserve, radio network, ethernet, fiberoptic, telepathy
- or tell me something new in these fields.
-
- It must be something that I can suggest to others,
- something that is tested and explain why you think it is secure or insecure,
- something I can tell others to watch out for or not to use,
-
-
- Tell me something I probabally dont know.
-
- I will not respond by telling you 'that is a stupid idea, everyone knows
- that', this is supposed to be a learning service.
-
- I cannot gurauntee that I will respond to everyones mail but I will try.
- All help is appreciated.
