Yup, interesting indeed. i would have more likely called this a ' Dead Mans Switch' disclosure. It is likely that there is existing DMS software that could be relatively easily adapted for this purpose. Thanks for referencing this journal, btw...hadn't come across it before.

Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 02:15:20 -0700 (PDT) From: Paul Robinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Poison-pill auto-disclosure for security vulnerabilities I have thought of something regarding researchers who have made security discoveries, and I thought of a way in which they might legally develop, in effect, a 'poison pill' to those who would want to silence them. I'm not a lawyer and I don't know all of the exact requirements but I thought of an interesting way to cause "blowback" on those who try to browbeat others into silence. ......<snipped>...... --scm _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
