FidoNews has its own domain name on the Internet NOW! Go to:
|
||
|
||
http://www.fidonews.org
|
||
|
||
and check it out!
|
||
|
||
The Masthead and Internet sections have been adjusted to reflect the
|
||
new URL. See the article below for more info on this upgrade to the
|
||
FidoNews accessibility around the world.
|
||
|
||
Speaking of the Nodelist, here in Zone 1 we haven't seen a Zone 2
|
||
update since 197. What is going on there? Zone 2 still exists, right?
|
||
Could there be another, better reason to get off the dime and get an
|
||
International Coordinator? [sigh]
|
||
|
||
The Autumnal Equinox is here. Don't forget to balance that egg on its
|
||
end. You'll find that as easy as getting certain answers in FidoNet.

Thanks to the untiring efforts of jim barchuk of 1:141/355, FidoNews
|
||
now joins the domain realm of the Internet as the new site comes
|
||
online at:
|
||
|
||
http://www.fidonews.org
|
||
|
||
on a dedicated machine that replaces the old geocities.com listing
|
||
for FidoNews in HTML.
|
||
|
||
The new site will contain the latest Issues as well as readable
|
||
archives of all the old Issues. It will also have an online article
|
||
submission engine and eventually search capability and any other
|
||
features jim can think up. [grin]
|
||
|
||
It also provides YAEA [yet another email address] for the Editor at:
|
||
|
||
cbaker84@fidonews.org
|
||
|
||
as well as jim's new address of:
|
||
|
||
jb@fidonews.org
|
||
|
||
as site manager and domain guru.
|
||
|
||
The new domain name was fully approved by Tom Jennings [tomj@wps.com]
|
||
and will be fully transferable to future Editors and site managers as
|
||
necessary.
|
||
|
||
Although some in FidoNet decry the "Internetzation"[tm] of our amateur
|
||
network, the reality is that FidoNet IS part of the Internet and CAN
|
||
and DOES benefit by the links it maintains there directly and
|
||
indirectly. Internet access is the only long-distance support some
|
||
FidoNet Sysops can afford in order to provide their Users the best of
|
||
the material [Nodelists, FidoNews, software, etc.] available within
|
||
FidoNet. The short-sighted see the Internet as competition for their
|
||
dwindling userbase. The rest of us see the Internet as an evolutionary
|
||
step to greater accessibility. Instead of boohooing, start exploiting.
|
||
|
||
The new site is not completed, yet, but it has all the basics in place
|
||
and is ready for your perusal. You should also leave email to jim as
|
||
you pass with any suggestions or ideas you think will improve the
|
||
service there. A Guestbook and a FidoNet Webring link will also be
|
||
added soon.
|
||
|
||
My personal thanks to jim for this purely volunteer effort seem meager
|
||
compared to his work on this project, but nevertheless, "THANKS, jim!"
|
||
|
||
I hope all of you with Internet access will go take a look at
|
||
FidoNet's latest improvement at www.fidonews.org and while you're at
|
||
it, go to the FidoNet Webring page and put YOUR FidoNet-related web
|
||
info into circulation at:

_________________________________________________________________
|
||
STOP THE GOVERNMENT FROM BUILDING BIG BROTHER INTO THE INTERNET
|
||
|
||
In 1948, George Orwell described a future world in which Big Brother
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-38 Page 4 22 Sep 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
peaked over the shoulder of every citizen -- watching every move and
|
||
listening to every word.
|
||
|
||
Now, in 1997, the FBI is pushing the United States Congress to pass
|
||
legislation which would make George Orwell's frightening vision a
|
||
reality.
|
||
|
||
Next week the House Commerce Committee will meet to consider a
|
||
proposal that would require all Americans to provide the government
|
||
guaranteed access to their private online communications and business
|
||
transactions. Taking a page out of Orwell's 1984, the FBI-spawned
|
||
proposal would require that every part of the Internet -- from the
|
||
software on your computer to the network provider that carries your
|
||
messages around the net -- be jury-rigged to divulge your private
|
||
conversations immediately on request by the FBI (see below).
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, this is not a work of fiction.
|
||
|
||
The amendment, to be offered by Representatives Mike Oxley (R-OH) and
|
||
Thomas Manton (D-NY), is a serious threat to your privacy and
|
||
represents the first and final step in the construction of a National
|
||
Surveillance Infrastructure.
|
||
|
||
A vote is expected on September 25. The future of privacy and
|
||
security in the information age is in the hands of the Commerce
|
||
Committee, and they need to know that folks are watching and care
|
||
about the outcome.
|
||
|
||
On Monday September 22, please join thousands of Internet users all
|
||
across the country as we call on Congress to stop big brother. With
|
||
your help and support, we can ensure that George Orwell's 1984 does
|
||
not become a reality.
|
||
|
||
All the information you need is attached below.
|
||
|
||
_________________________________________________________________
|
||
WHAT YOU CAN DO
|
||
|
||
1. ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 22, pick up the phone and call as many of the
|
||
four leading members of the Commerce committee as you can:
|
||
|
||
Chairman Thomas Bliley (R-VA) (202) 225-2815
|
||
Ranking member John Dingell (D-MI) (202) 225-4071
|
||
Rep. Tauzin (R-LA) (202) 225-4031
|
||
Rep. Markey (D-MA) (202) 225-2836
|
||
|
||
2. Ask for the staffer that handles the encryption issue.
|
||
|
||
3. Say that you're calling to urge the Congressman to pass SAFE
|
||
(HR695) without amendments.
|
||
|
||
Specifically, say that you "OPPOSE THE OXLEY/MANTON BIG BROTHER
|
||
AMENDMENT. Americans should not be required to give the government
|
||
keys to the front door of their house, and they shouldn't be
|
||
required to give the government the keys to unlock their private
|
||
online communications."
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-38 Page 5 22 Sep 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
Other amendments may be proposed. Please urge the Congressman to pass
|
||
SAFE "as is" and oppose any amendments. Feel free to use your own
|
||
words though here are some points you might want to stress:
|
||
|
||
- Oxley/Manton is a dramatic expansion of law enforcement power. It
|
||
would give law enforcement "immediate" access to private online
|
||
communications and business transactions without any notice or
|
||
knowledge to the user.
|
||
|
||
- Oxley/Manton is NOT A BALANCE BETWEEN PRIVACY INTERESTS AND LAW
|
||
ENFORCEMENT CONCERNS, as some supporters have argued. It gives the
|
||
FBI broad new power while stripping Americans of their Fourth
|
||
Amendment right to be secure from unreasonable searches and
|
||
seizures.
|
||
|
||
- Oxley/Manton would give the Attorney General authority to dictate
|
||
the design of Internet services and software to suit the needs of
|
||
law enforcement.
|
||
|
||
- Oxley/Manton would not stop crime. Strong encryption without
|
||
"immediate access" features is available today at home and abroad.
|
||
|
||
- Oxley/Manton would increase opportunities for cybercrime as criminal
|
||
hackers attack vulnerabilities in the key recovery access system.
|
||
|
||
4. Let us know how it went! Go to one of the following web pages,
|
||
depending on who you called, and tell us about the conversation.
|
||
|
||
Rep. Bliley http://www.crypto.com/member/meet.cgi?membid=va07
|
||
Rep. Dingell http://www.crypto.com/member/meet.cgi?membid=mi16
|
||
Rep. Tauzin http://www.crypto.com/member/meet.cgi?membid=la03
|
||
Rep. Markey http://www.crypto.com/member/meet.cgi?membid=ma07
|
||
|
||
5. Forward this ALERT to your friends and colleagues.
|
||
|
||
6. Feel good about yourself! Know that you've stood up for privacy,
|
||
and contacting Congress is more than most people take the time to
|
||
do!
|
||

||
BACKGROUND
|
||
|
||
The House Commerce Committee is considering a bill known as the
|
||
"Security and Freedom through Encryption Act" (HR 695, a.k.a. SAFE).
|
||
SAFE would encourage the widespread availability of strong, easy-to-
|
||
use encryption technologies in order to protect privacy and promote
|
||
electronic commerce on the Internet. SAFE enjoys broad support from
|
||
Internet users, civil liberties advocates, and over 250 members of
|
||
Congress.
|
||
|
||
Last week, the Commerce Committee delayed its vote on the SAFE bill in
|
||
order to give the Committee more time to study the implications of the
|
||
Oxley/Manton amendment, which would change SAFE to ban encryption
|
||
which does not contain features that provide law enforcement with
|
||
"immediate access" to the plain text of encrypted information,
|
||
including private communications and business transactions (visit
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-38 Page 6 22 Sep 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
http://www.crypto.com/safe_bill/)
|
||
|
||
The Oxley/Manton amendment would for the first time impose sweeping
|
||
restrictions on the ability of American citizens to protect their
|
||
privacy on US soil. Specifically, the amendment would:
|
||
|
||
* PROHIBIT THE DOMESTIC MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF ENCRYPTION PRODUCTS OR
|
||
SERVICES WHICH DO NOT PROVIDE INSTANT ACCESS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT:
|
||
The proposal would prohibit the manufacture, sale, import, or
|
||
distribution within the United States of any encryption product
|
||
unless it allows "immediate access" to the plain text of any user's
|
||
messages or files without the user's knowledge.
|
||
|
||
* GRANT BROAD NEW AUTHORITY FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO SET TECHNICAL
|
||
STANDARDS FOR ENCRYPTION PRODUCTS: The proposal allows the Attorney
|
||
General to set standards for what are and are not acceptable
|
||
encryption products. The proposal's requirement of immediate access
|
||
to plain text would seem to seriously limit the options available to
|
||
encryption manufacturers seeking approval of their products.
|
||
|
||
The amendment does not specify whether the immediate access "features"
|
||
could be activated (or not) at the option of the purchaser or end
|
||
user. Nonetheless, requiring that such a capability be installed in
|
||
all domestic communications networks and encryption products is the
|
||
equivalent of enabling a national surveillance infrastructure and
|
||
asserts unprecedented control over the design of Internet software,
|
||
hardware, and services.
|
||
|
||
The amendment is analogous to the government requiring surveillance
|
||
cameras in every new house built in the United States, which could be
|
||
turned on remotely by the police if you were ever suspected of
|
||
committing a crime.
|
||
|
||
Worse yet, such "key escrow" or "key recovery" technologies pose
|
||
significant risk to the security of the Internet -- providing new
|
||
points of vulnerability for hackers, terrorists, and industrial spies
|
||
to exploit. A recent study by 11 of the worlds leading cryptographers
|
||
concluded that the large scale deployment of such technologies would
|
||
be too complex and too insecure to meet the needs of an Information
|
||
Age society (see http://www.crypto.com/key_study/)
|
||
|
||
Despite widespread opposition from Internet users, civil liberties
|
||
groups, privacy advocates, and the computer and communications
|
||
industries, Oxley and Manton plan to push for this FBI spawned
|
||
amendment at the Commerce Committee vote. If it is adopted, it would
|
||
represent the first and final step in the development of a national
|
||
surveillance infrastructure.
