ZDNet UK News: Echelon: Surveillance techniques
This ZDNET UK News story has been forwarded to you by [EMAIL PROTECTED] who has added these comments: Yo. Echelon: Surveillance techniques Fri, 30 Jun 2000 10:30:00 GMT Susanne Rieger, ZDNet Germany Telecommunications security expert in Germany, Manfred Fink, tells ZDNet exactly what individuals and companies have to fear from covert surveillance ZDNet:How long have you known about Echelon? Fink: Experts have known for years that we are systematically being monitored. It's the first time, however, that the problem is being perceived as a reality, now that the European Parliament and Deutscher Bundestag -- German Parliament -- are getting involved. What reasons lie behind the secrecy surrounding Echelon? Fink: There are two reasons: on the one side, prosecutors have no interest in having their entire operation laid out in the open. There is no disclaimer. One simply doesn't say anything. On the other side, any... German officials with the power to say something has until now remained quiet in order to prevent putting any inter-governmental projects at risk. The government didn't want to jeopardise the NATO alliance. But both France and England have their own spy satellites, as does China. This... weighs greatly upon EU partnerships. What kind of costs are associated with Echelon's activities? Fink: The budget granted for these kinds of operations amount to billions of dollars a year. Estimates as to how many people work for the National Security Agency (NSA) vary between 140,000 and 170,000. They of course employ only top people, the best mathematicians, used in unimaginable hacking/calculus centres. Hardware isn't an issue there either. Though secret services of this sort have their own chip factories, it is only with "normal hardware" and parallel switching from one to another that they obtain their efficiency. The real problem lies in the software. The text recognition programmes used on office computers are simple waste products of military programming. Imagine your phone socket has been tapped with a control device. This means that each time you use that line your call is monitored. But the real spying only comes into play once a particular "hit-word" has been pronounced. The quantity of data would simply be too large to cope with otherwise. As long as the system is used in the fight against terrorism and frail regimes no one has a problem with it. It is only criticised when it is used for industrial espionage. What makes a person a target? Who is likely to be spied on? Fink: There is a lot of abuse in the relationships between European allies. Ordinary individuals are unlikely to be a target, but companies will be. The size of the firm being targeted is relatively unimportant, but international companies will be monitored no matter what. Whether you own a small company of just 20 employees, have a specific product that only you offer worldwide or have only one competitor who sits in the US, you are bound to be of interest. Is there anyway of knowing you are being monitored? Fink: No. To whom do you recommend the installation of high-tech security? I recommend that all companies set up solid security. One must ask the question: "Would it be serious if they got hold of a third of the information in this communication?" Whoever replies "Yes" should make a security decision. If the secret services have such efficient hacking machines, does it make any sense at all to use cryptography? Fink: Information is perishable. If it takes months or years to obtain it, it often loses its value. This is the absolute starting point for defence: setting the threshold so high that the circumstances no longer require the information to be obtained. Is it true that the radiation generated by monitors can be picked up and reproduced from as far as a hundred metres away? Fink: Yes, whether it is a Word document with twelve point text font, an Excel spreadsheet or a CAD-image, you can pick it up via the monitor's radiation. Equipment to do this is available for DM250,000 (8,000). To prevent this you can either shield your monitor and hard drive or isolate entire rooms. This is how it is done in large calculus centres. Another method is to overwrite the emissions with a jamming signal so that the receiver will see nothing but a snow flurry on the screen. Mobile phones must be easy to monitor. Is this true? Fink: Mobile phones are actually better than we think. The air interface to base station is quite safe unless you happen to be standing opposite a news station. The rest runs on directional radio and public networks. These are indeed relatively easy to pick up. Rumours from the US secret services claim there is a transantlantic fibreglass cable that picks up and retrieves data. Is this a modern fairy-tale or is it true? Fink: No. In fact it's an entire underwater station held by cables made of copper. Other than that, it's correct. I have seen photos of it and these were no fakes. When am I
Fwd: UK immigration authorities take first action against HavenCo
(from Sean, our CEO) -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Declan, (Feel free to publish this letter to your mailing list.) Sealand has in fact received defacto recognition from several countries prior to 1988, including Germany (Who sent a diplomat to negotiate directly with Prince Roy in 1978) and England, who's Home Office openly stated that Sealand was not part of the UK up until June 5, 2000. In 1990 (two years after the 1988 extension of territorial waters) there was another incident in which warning shots were fired and charges were filed in Britain against members of the Sealand security staff. The charges were summarily dropped based upon the 1968 court decision and a statement from the British Home Office to the police that Sealand was not UK territory. Several departments of the British Government continue to maintain that Sealand is independent from the UK. Prince Roy's pension based on his decorated WWII service to the British military is paid to him only while he resides in the UK. He is not eligible for payment during the times when he is in residence in Sealand based on the pension department's decision that it is not part of England. The British department of Health and Social security even wrote a letter to the Prince's son Michael that states "A ruling has now been given by our solicitors branch that you are not liable to pay contributions for periods when resident on Sealand." None of these official policies have changed to date - even after the recent HavenCo press storm. If Sealand was sovereign in 1988, as many international law experts maintain, then an extension of Britain's territorial waters is completely irrelevant. Even if one only grants terra-nullis status to Sealand in 1988, Sealand does not automatically become part of Britain through an extension of territorial waters - the treaties that allow for these extensions do not allow claim to additional physical territory. An extension of British waters does not effect Sealand's status in any way. Myself and many reporters contacted the British Home Office numerous times between 1988 and 2000 and were informed without exception that Sealand was not British territory, and that UK laws did not apply there. When the media attention for HavenCo hit on June 5th, 2000, during the first half of the day British officials were saying that Sealand was not part of Britain, but later in the day they reversed themselves and started claiming that it was no longer independent based on the 1988 extension of waters. This claim would not have been legally valid even if it had been made in 1988, but to make it now, after 12 years of a demonstrable pattern of continued recognition of Sealand's independence, is completely ridiculous. Based on the above evidence, your statement that "Since then London has extended its territorial claim, which means Sealand -- recognized, I believe, by no country in the world -- is no more independent than a rowboat anchored 10 feet out in the Thames." would seem to be pejorative, inaccurate, and ill-considered. You have a far reaching and well respected voice. You should, therefore, check the facts and consult the experts before you speak you mind in a public forum.

There are three criteria for being a state 1) Is there an identifiable state? 2) is there an identifiable people? 3) is there an autonomous Government? And the answer to these questions in respect of Sealand is Yes Yes and Yes. Plus there have been at least two occasions when the British government and law courts, have through officials concerned with them, recognized Sealand as an independent state. It's very difficult to see what the British government can do now to get out of this mess. It's allowed circumstances to paint itself into a corner, and there is no obvious way they can deal with it." - - - - -Original Message- Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 00:42:39 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FC: UK immigration authorities take first action against HavenCo From: Declan McCullagh [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Part of the allure of HavenCo is that it is based on Sealand, an ostensibly independent nation.

"I can't believe that no one has taken care of it. I have been getting phone calls for two days. I didn't know what to tell them." For longer than anyone can remember the old Gospel Church atop the hill in Reddington Valley served as a beacon for those who were lost. Not just spiritually but even as a landmark for giving directions. "Turn down Main Street and head toward the brightest star in the sky. You can't miss it," a traveler would hear. You see, on top of the old church steeple was a big bright star. It was all one piece and lighted by a huge light bulb. They actually had placed it up there as part of a Christmas display and never took it down. But two days ago the bulb burned out. The entire town was lost without it. It seemed that the locals were all turned about at night. The confusion started when someone passing through happened to stop the mayor to ask for directions. "I looked up and pointed to the star. It wasn't there. Thinking I was facing the wrong way, I turned around looking for it but couldn't find it," he said. "I think that guy is still riding around town." Soon the phone started ringing at the old Gospel Church. People wanted to know what happened. The problem was even the Pastor didn't know. That star was just always there. He had no idea who kept it lit or where the light bulbs were. That is, until the phone rang late that afternoon. "Pastor, I'm hoping you can help us," the man said. "This is Police Chief Robertson. We just got back from the Delaney house. We found old Jim Delaney dead. It seems he's been dead about two days." "I'm sorry. I must tell you that I'm not familiar with the man," the Pastor said. "No one seems to be," the Chief replied. "There are no known relatives or friends available." "Well, if it's a burial service you are looking for, I'd be pleased to do it," said the Pastor. "That would be great. But there is something else. I'd like for you to come by in about an hour if you can. The house is up the dirt road on Bishop's Hill across the valley from your church." "I'll be there," he replied. The Pastor arrived just as Chief Robertson pulled in. "What is it you wanted me to see, Chief?" "Come inside. I think you'll need this stuff." As they entered the home you could see stacks of unopened mail along with various books scattered about. "Over here, Pastor. I believe this is for you." There on the mantle of the fireplace was a box with a small white envelope attached. It said "From the star keeper to The Gospel Church". The note inside it read: To whom it may concern: Back in 1950 my beautiful wife Mildred became ill. We could not afford to place her in a home so for her remaining months on this earth, I took care of her. Before her illness
