They've promised a copy of the white paper mentioned in the article, but they are "treating the technology as if it is covered by the USML, as published as part of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)." (I didn't make that up, it's a quote.) George Smith, Editor of Crypt Newsletter has some very interesting observations, see: http://www.soci.niu.edu/~crypt/other/blitz.htm One observation on an underground list was to the effect, if jargon could win a war the "BS" would dominate the world. (BS = Blitzkrieg Server, but free substitution is taking place among them) Another observation on IRC is, with OpenGL graphics accelerator, it's 95% gooey 5% something else. The Signal article has pegged the skepticism meter on everyone with a clue and they've got to overcome that, fast, with some details before they're marginalized. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.5.3 iQCVAwUBNVXO0PGfiIQsciJtAQG6AQQAqXAPQyyUi9zfQqDln1zA/nZptIoX1oNH 3JlQNkUU++Xx/QcqtlfyY1DuHuKttnFUfPS0s1cjP89gExBD3GhnPFz1zKHRASeo A9aVxbERCmPe8zt0PI47WcMTvOYGZNgYvzduK97ggvWFDzw7ue5NkWxyHaCiha9v m0G6xSjh6Og= =4vQ1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Regards, Dave Kennedy CISSP International Computer Security Assoc http://www.ncsa.com Protect what you connect.
