Sobel 202-54409240 EPIC HAILS FEDERAL APPEALS COURT DECISION IN ENCRYPTION CASE WASHINGTON, DC - The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) welcomes today's decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which declared U.S. export controls on encryption software to be an unconstitutional prior restraint of speech. EPIC was both co-counsel and coordinator of a "friend-of-the-court" (amicus) brief in the case, arguing against the government controls on privacy-enhancing technology. The decision was issued in Bernstein v. Department of Justice. The Ninth Circuit held that the government's regulation of encryption under the Export Administration Regulations constituted an impermissible prior restraint on protected speech. The court further said that the regulations "vest boundless discretion in government officials" and "lack adequate procedural safeguards." Marc Rotenberg, Executive Director of EPIC, said, "The Ninth Circuit has provided a sweeping opinion in support of privacy and the freedom to use encryption. This is a forward-looking judgment that touches on many of the issues of greatest concern to Internet users, including the right to speak anonymously and the right of informational privacy." David L. Sobel, EPIC's General Counsel, called the opinion "one of the most significant Internet decisions yet issued, one that establishes important precedents for both free speech and privacy online." He added that, "the court has recognized a fundamental truth -- citizens need greater privacy protection in our new networked communications environment." In its decision, the Ninth Circuit wrote: "Whether we are surveilled by our government, by criminals, or by our neighbors, it is fair to say that never has our ability to shield our affairs from prying eyes been at such a low ebb. The availability and use of secure encryption may offer an opportunity to reclaim some portion of the privacy we have lost. Government efforts to control encryption thus may well implicate not only the First Amendment rights of cryptographers intent on pushing the boundaries of their science, but also the constitutional rights of each of us as potential recipients of encryption's bounty. . . . [I]t is important to point out that Bernstein's is a suit not merely concerning a small group

I am trying to verify a module which implements the FIPS PUB 180-1 SHA-1
specification which is bit oriented.
The C-implementation of Steve Reid, which I use currently for verification,
is byte orientated. Can anyone point me to C-implementation which is bit
orientated ?
I can't, but here are test vectors Jim Gillogly and I have jointly
cross-checked on Aug 1998, and may have survived my editing.
In sequence you get the hash of the empty message, of the single bit
message with a 0 bit, and so on. 110#148|11 is a 446 bits message
made of the three bits 110 repeated 148 times, followed by
the two bits 11. The last message has 2^32+1 bits.

Regarding my "naysayer" comment above, I wish to explain more.
Arjen is one of the most accomplished algorithm "crackers" and I have the
highest respect for his ability. He has expressed concern about ECC in the
past, and such concern was posted by RSA on their ECC website. I should have
mentioned this in my previous posting instead of using the term "naysayer".
Arjen points out in his recent paper that there has been no significant
