hayo, sapa yang takut diintip sama 'Big Brother' http://www.wired.com/news/news/technology/story/21236.html .... Today, the third floor of a converted sardine factory on Cannery Row is home to a startup company developing what could become a new world standard in privacy protection. By early 2000, Starium Inc. plans to begin selling sub-US$100 telephone scrambling devices so powerful that even the US government's most muscular supercomputers can't eavesdrop on wiretapped conversations. Such heavily armored privacy is currently available only to government and corporate customers who pony up about $3,000 for STU-III secure phones created by the US National Security Agency. By squeezing the same kind of ultra-strong encryption into a sleek brushed-steel case about twice the size of a Palm V -- and crafted by the same San Francisco designer -- Starium hopes to bring crypto to the masses. ..... At the touch of a "secure" button, the modems inside the two Starium units will form a link that, theoretically, creates an untappable communications channel. The units digitize, compress, filter, and encrypt voice communications -- and reverse the process on the other end. The Starium handset uses a 2,048-bit Diffie-Hellman algorithm for the initial setup, and a 168-bit triple DES algorithm for voice encoding. The four-chip unit includes a 75 MHz MIPS processor, an infrared interface, a smart card port, and possibly serial, USB, and parallel interfaces, the company says. The final version will operate for over 2 hours on a pair of AA batteries. yang jelas sih pasti kena larangan ekspor pemerintah US. milis ini didukung oleh : >> http://www.indolinux.com - dunia linux indonesia ------------------------------------------------------------------- untuk berhenti kirim email ke [EMAIL PROTECTED] untuk melihat peraturan kirim email ke [EMAIL PROTECTED] arsip berada di http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
