Re: Verizon must comply with RIAA's DMCA subpoena
William Allen Simpson says, of the Verizon decision: wrote: All this to learn the identity of a computer at a particular IP address. Presumbly, Verizon will now be smart enough to say: All of our IP addresses are assigned using DHCP, and we have no record of the name of any subscriber associated with an IP address. Declan adds: I was thinking along the same lines. This seems to be a market opportunity for an Internet provider that keeps no IP address-identity records for more than a few minutes or hours. That would be a wise move. That would continue for about three weeks, and then we'd see a bill out of Congress demanding that ISPs retain identity for, oh, maybe seven years?

Verizon appeals gainst RIAA's DMCA subpoena
source: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/28976.html Verizon appeals a court decision that it has to diclose one of its subscriber's identity following RIAA's claims that this subscriber illegally shared (or is it downloaded) copyrighted works. Rationale for the appel includes that complying would opens the door for anyone who makes a mere allegation of copyright infringement to gain complete access to private subscriber information without the due process protections afforded by the courts.

As an example, Smith suggests systems administrators and managers who, while not formally charged with security, still have to use cryptographic techniques to secure their networks or transmissions. Chapter one is an introduction, contrasting what we want; secure communications; with the environment we have to work in; a wide open Internet. The text also looks at the balance that must be maintained between convenience and requirements. Encryption basics, in chapter two, presents the concepts of symmetric cryptography, use, and choice. There is a clear explanation of the ideas without overwhelming technical details. (It is interesting to note how quickly the cryptographic technology changes: SKIPJACK and ITAR were still important when the book was written, and are now basically irrelevant.) Some random thoughts on network implementation of encryption are given in chapter three. Managing secret keys, in chapter four, provides good conceptual coverage of generation and management, although the discussion of the problems of key escrow is weak. Because of the requirements for technical details when discussing protocols, chapter five, on IPSec, is different from other material in the book. It also includes a brief mention of other protocols. Chapter six discusses the use of IPSec in virtual private networks, while seven examines IPSec in terms of remote access. Chapter eight looks at IPSec in relation to firewalls, but it is difficult to see how this would be used in an actual application. Chapter nine reviews public key encryption and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). The basic concepts of asymmetric cryptography are presented well, but may be unconvincing due to the lack of mathematical support and details. While there is an introduction to the related idea of digital signatures, SSL is really only barely mentioned. World Wide Web transaction security, in chapter ten, provides practical examples of the technologies discussed. The same is true of email, in chapter eleven, but digital signatures get a bit more explanation. Chapter twelve builds on the signature concept to introduce PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) notions. The fundamentals are written clearly and well, and are quite suitable for managers and users. Despite the lack of detail, the text may even be suitable for some security professionals who need a rough background without needing to work with the technology itself. The work is easy to read, although the idiosyncratic structure may be confusing, and the value of some chapters questionable. copyright Robert M.

Hello
Apologies for the intrusion. As well has running an ISP, I have an
interest in Grid Computing systems and micro accounting architectures.
As part of the interest, I would like to deploy a product called
HiveCache (www.hivecache.com) to my customer base, and others
interested.
HiveCache is a p2p backup system where by you define an amount of disk
space available on your machine (which is connected via broadband of
course!) and vice versa, your files get split up, encrypted and then
stored on everyone elses' disk space.
HiveCache does all sorts of clever things, like making sure enough
copies are kept in various places, files are split encrypted,
allowing you to retrieve them, etc.
Ultimately, I would like to faciliate a system where by we act as a
clearing house so that users can buy sell disk space resources.
In order to get going however, I would like to take part in the
HiveCache pilot. To do this, I require 25-50 willing volunteers.
You will need:
- an always on broadband connection
- a few gig of spare disk space
- a little enthusiasm and a willingness to return comments
If that sounds like you, then please could you drop an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] stating your
- name,
- email,
- type of internet connection and
- what operating system you're running on.
Any questions, let me know.
many thanks
peter
