has written a great article on stego, crypto, and the wonders of the net circa 1992 in Feed. His background with this stuff is almost exactly the same as mine, though I never actually called Tim May on the phone to talk about crypto. I did, however, cut my usenet teeth in alt.security.pgp; I was steeped in the literature of the time from people like Hakim Bey, Arthur and Marilouse Kroker (who I had the privilege of working with for 4 years), the CAE, and others; and I still dream, occasionally, about the promise of stego even if its most marketable use is for digital copyright tagging.
Phil Zimmermann
, well known as the creater of PGP, has left Network associates to work for Hush, an Irish company who has done HushMail among other things. It’s a big change – I wonder what his departure will do for the acceptance of PGP?
Hmmm
. What if Blogger indicates an archving error but in fact everything was generated properly?
There’re a lot of
little piles of excellent words over at Cardigan Industries. The piece to which I link, as prompted by Jeffrey Zeldman, is a particularly tart piece about a man who, if I knew him personally, I’m quite sure would be my nemesis – Mr Martin Amis.
I love the
widely-blogged story about a new and apparently unbreakable crypto system [NYTimes, requires free reg] that a Harvard professor has come up with. I wonder if this might be the, ahem, paradigm shift necessary to upset the crypto applecart and provoke a really deep discussion about the place of crypto in the world. Louis Freeh must be going nuts.
