CodeCon 2009 Call for Presentations
CodeCon 2009 April 17-19, 2009 San Francisco CA, USA www.codecon.org Call For Presentations CodeCon is the premier showcase of cutting edge software development. It is an excellent opportunity for programmers to demonstrate their work and keep abreast of what's going on in their community. All presentations must include working demonstrations, ideally accompanied by source code. Presentations must be done by one of the active developers of the code in question. We emphasize that demonstrations be of *working* code. We hereby solicit papers and demonstrations. * Papers and proposals due: February 15, 2009 * All Authors notified: March 1, 2009 Possible topics include, but are by no means restricted to: * community-based web sites - forums, weblogs, personals * development tools - languages, debuggers, version control * file sharing systems - swarming distribution, distributed search * security products - mail encryption, intrusion detection, firewalls * malware analysis - detection, compensation, and mitigation of emerging threats -- As a new feature this year, CodeCon will be presenting a Biohack! track. While we will continue our tradition of presenting only one talk at a time, a portion of one of the days' talks will be reserved for interesting biotechnology hacking projects. A key requirement for these presentations is ease of reproduction with minimal access to expensive laboratory equipment. Example topics include: * Purifying DNA using common household items * Developing genetically-modified bacteria in a kitchen laboratory * Using specially-designed software to assist in bioengineering * The use of simple bioengineering techniques to solve real-world problems. Ideal Biohack! Track submissions will have a strong emphasis on the hack portion of the talk -- in the last few years, there has been a strong growth in the community of biology hackers; we aim to bring these hackers together to discuss their techniques for inexpensive, at home experimentation in biological engineering research. -- Presentations will be 30 minutes long, with an additional 15 minutes allocated for QA. Overruns will be truncated. Submission details: Submissions are being accepted immediately. Acceptance dates are February 7th and March 1st. After the first acceptance date, submissions will be either accepted, rejected, or deferred to the second acceptance date. The conference language is English. The conference venue is open to all ages. Ideally, technical demonstrations should be usable by attendees with 802.11b connected devices either via a web interface, or locally on Windows, UNIX-like, or MacOS platforms. Cross-platform applications are most desirable. Biohacking demonstrations should be viewable with a presenter-provided camera, or prepared movies for projection. To submit, send mail to submissions-2...@codecon.org including the following information: * Project name * Code track or Biohack! track * url of project home page * tagline - one sentence or less summing up what the project does * names of presenter(s) and urls of their home pages, if they have any * one-paragraph bios of presenters, optional, under 100 words each * project history, under 150 words * what makes the project novel -- how it differs from similar projects * what will be done in the project demo, under 200 words * slides to be shown during the presentation, if applicable * future plans General Chairs: Jonathan Moore and Bram Cohen Program Chair: Jered Floyd and Len Sassaman Program Committee: * Jon Callas, PGP, USA * Bram Cohen, BitTorrent, USA * Roger Dingledine, The Tor Project, USA * Jered Floyd, Permabit, USA * Ben Laurie, Google, UK * David Molnar, University of California, Berkeley, USA * Jonathan Moore, Mosuki, USA * Meredith L.

Re: MD5 considered harmful today
On Tue, 30 Dec 2008, Hal Finney wrote: - The attack relies on cryptographic advances in the state of the art for finding MD5 collisions from inputs with different prefixes. These advances are not yet being published but will presumably appear in 2009. To insert a malicious basicConstraints CA = TRUE these advances appear necessary; I do not believe that they are necessary for the other very similar attack (where the malicious cert is a wildcard (*) certificate). I could be wrong about this, but I also don't think that the advances in cryptography to get from chosen prefix attacks to here are anywhere near as great as were needed to get the original chosen prefix work. We can evaluate the correctness of that statement when the work is published, of course. - The collision was found using Arjen Lenstra's PlayStation Lab and used 200 PS3s with collectively 30 GB of memory. The attack is in two parts, a new preliminary birthdaying step which is highly parallelizable and required 18 hours on the PS3s, and a second stage which constructs the actual collision using 3 MD5 blocks and runs on a single quad core PC, taking 3 to 10 hours. Prof. Lenstra's PlayStation Lab is definitely impressive, but there are many ways to get the computation time needed to perform this attack, including Amazon's EC2, botnets, and other high powered computing systems. It's not *that* much computation time. My take on this is that because the method required advances in cryptography and sophisticated hardware, it is unlikely that it could be exploited by attackers before the publication of the method, or the publication of equivalent improvements by other cryptographers. If these CAs stop issuing MD5 certs before this time, we will be OK. Once a CA stops issuing MD5 certs, it cannot be used for the attack. Its old MD5 certs are safe and there is no danger of future successful attacks along these lines. As the paper notes, changing to using random serial numbers may be an easier short-term fix. I am worried that this may be too optimistic of an outlook. This attack was known and discussed by at least two research teams for at least a year (Dan Kaminsky, Meredith L. Patterson, and I worked out the attack at the last CCC). To be fully confident in the CA infrastructure, all certificates that have delegated signing authority granted to them by a higher CA (using MD5 on the certificate in question) should be audited to ensure they are not malicious. This of course includes private certificate infrastructures, too. I would be extremely surprised if this attack had been performed prior to the original chosen prefix work being published -- but since that time, there has been plenty of opportunity for a malicious party to quietly perform this attack in the wild. --Len. - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to majord...@metzdowd.com
Mixmaster 3.0 released
Dear all, [Apologies if you get multiple copies of this email.] Mixmaster 3.0 has been released this week. This is the first major version release since 2.9, and a continuation of that code, though it incorporates numerous improvements, feature enhancements, and bug-fixes. It is recommended that you upgrade your remailers to this version. For those of you running 3.0rc1 or one of the 3.0 beta releases, the changes are minor, though upgrading is still recommended. Please report any problems you experience to the Mixmaster maintainers through the bug tracker at SourceForge. (http://sf.net/projects/mixmaster). The code can be found there as well, and is signed by the Mixmaster 3.x release key, found on http://mixmaster.sf.net and signed by myself and numerous other cypherpunks. Any questions regarding tampering with the source code should be reported as soon as noticed. There are some user-facing improvements as well, though most of the planned client improvements have been pushed off to 3.1. For stability reasons, users of the client are encouraged to upgrade as well. (Users of third-party GUIs for Mixmaster are encouraged to report their success or problems with detailed bug reports if applicable.) We're looking forward to your feedback!

The idea that data in RAM doesn't automatically disappear the instant the computer is powered off isn't the really interesting thing in this paper, though, at least for me. I'm more intrigued by the error-correction techniques they use to apparently recover AES keys that have degraded by up to 10% of their bits. It would be nice if the authors released their tools so that other researchers can build on this. --Len. - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Hypothesis: PGP backdoor (was: A security bug in PGP products?)
On Thu, 24 Aug 2006, Ondrej Mikle wrote: 2) AFAIK, Zimmerman is no longer in control of the company making PGP. AFAIK the company (NAI) has been bought by another group couple of years ago. The rescue of PGP from NAI's gross neglect and mismanagement of the product line was orchestrated by individuals involved in the original PGP, Inc. startup, and lead by respected cryptographic engineer Jon Callas (also known for being the editor of RFC 2440) and Phil Dunkelberger (the original PGP, Inc., CEO.) As part of their acquisition of the PGP product line, they hired (nearly?) the entire PGP programming team, including such familiar faces as Will Price and Hal Finney. http://www.pgp.com/company/management.html As a former NAI employee who worked on the PGP products, I firmly believe the software is in far more capable hands now from a management standpoint. As a PGP Universal user, I'm delighted by the significant improvements in usability that the new management has allowed the engineering team to make. The myopia of NAI's executives toward the usability problems in PGP was one of the reasons I quit the company in frustration. Also, for what it's worth, Phil was ousted from NAI in 2000, prior to the discontinuation of NAI's commitment to the PGP product line, but he *is* involved with the current PGP Corporation, as a member of the technical advisory board. http://www.pgp.com/company/boards/tab.html I also have no question, personally, that if there's a backdoor in PGP, neither Mr. Callas nor any of the PGP engineers I had the pleasure to work with know of it. Your theory is indeed wild, and though I don't mean to discourage vigilance in questioning these sorts of potential subversions of integrity in software as important as PGP, you might consider doing more research into the background of people against whom you choose to levy hypothetical accusations in public forums in the future. --Len. - The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending unsubscribe cryptography to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
