Subject: Re: Privacy vs on-line library>these stores in hope of finding certain seeds or plants that may thrive >in an 'indoor gardening' setup, or for the sole purpose of seizing >files? [...] Any references I have come across pointed to such raids being used for intelligence gathering only - no illegal substances were found at such locations. Even with a warrant, it strikes me as an abuse of authority to raid an innocent third party in the purely speculative hope of finding something pertinent to a presently weak or non-existing prosecution of a customer of such a business. The same logic could be perverted to justify raiding Sears for the same "reasons".

[Moderator injection: No flames about "commercial nature", please. I think we could all learn something from this. Howie, when you finish collecting any replies, could you summarize for the list? Thanks. _H*] Hello, the following is a market survey for a class I am taking. I plan to make this product in the future. Please fill out the survey and mail it and any comments to choset@grip.cis.upenn.edu Thank you for your time and effort Market Survey 1. How often do you lose things (ie keys, wallet, credit cards) A. never B. rarely C. sometimes D. often E. all the time 2. If the price were right, would you buy a product that would help you find lost items. For example, there is a device which you attach to your keys and detects a high pitched sound. When you lose your keys, you whistle and if your keys are in the same room, then they would beep. A. yes B. no 3. What would be an approximate price for such a device (If E, fill in a price) A. 30 dollars B. 50 dollars C. 60 dollars D. 40 dollars E. None______ 4. If the price were right, would you buy a product that would warn you as soon as you lost an object of yours. Before, you had to realize something was lost and look for it; now, as soon as you lose an object, the product will notify the user that something is lost. A. yes B. no 5. What would be an approximate price for such a device A. 100 dollars B. 150 dollars C. 200 dollars D. 250 dollars E. None_____ 6. If you want to be put on a mailing list for more information about the above listed devices, please return your name and address with this survey

Greetings,
I hope that someone on this list may be able to help me. I am looking
for a key blank for a WALSCO lock. I have the lock and a single key but
before I put it in anything I would like to have another key. I do not
remember where I got the lock. The lock has ingraved on it:
WALSCO by Viro Italy
The key has Made Italy and a number (serial number?) and Walsco on the
opposite side. Any help in getting a blank to have a new key made or info
about this kind of lock would be appreciated. Oh, and before you all send
me a note about going to a lock smith I did that.... no help there.

Do any netters know of any organizations that currently have a need for contract security or are thinking of changing their present contract security? How about a need for secure off-site storage for computer tapes? If so please let me know. I'm doing an informal survey for small businesses that specialize in the above. e-mail -> julian@vax1.acs.udel.edu

Subject: Computer Security Text
> Course on security
Mr. de Groot,
One excellent text on the subject is SECURITY IN COMPUTING,
C. P. Pfleeger, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey (1989).
It is my understanding that this material was taught by the author
while he was a professor in the Computer Science Dept. at The University
of Tennessee. The author is currently working in private industry
as a computer security professional.

> card" account. But there is a catch to this system. You have to use > ALL of your money by the end of each semester. So they first get all of your money in advance (the reverse of what happens when you charge something on a normal credit card and then pay all of it immediately when it is billed), and then they take anything that you haven't spent at the end. Why are people so willing to accept things like this? (A student could put the money in an interest bearing account and end up with at least a few percent profit by the end of the year, with no risk of losing anything that hasn't been spent.) [Moderator tack-on: Perhaps I'm missing the point, but it seems to me the student would have a valid beef if the institution appropriated money that the student hadn't actually *spent* on something?? Is this for real?! _H*]

Greetings,
We are in the early stages of consideration of a "Security Server" for our
network. Besides our LAN we also want to use our ISDN PABX for data communi-
cation.
Therefor I am interested in information or references about
- existing systems (LAN based like KERBEROS or ISDN like ???)
system design, protocols/communication software used, etc.
- hardware/software for encryption
both private and public key cryptosystems
(e.g. DES/RSA implementations available; which data transfer
rates can be achieved, key management and distribution, etc.)
- interworking between LAN-based and ISDN system
All information, references or contacts are highly appreciated

I am doing a survey of trunk encryption devices (both NSA endorsed and non-NSA endorsed). I am looking for devices which will run at T1 rates and above. Right now, I have three devices on my list 1. Cylink CIDEC-HS (operates at rates between 9.6Kbps and 7Mbps, supports V.35, Rs449, DS1 and DS2 interfaces) 2. Cylink CKG-VHS (operates at rates between 10 and 50 Mpbs, supports DS3 interface) 3. KG94 4. KG95 Would you please include a telephone number, name, location etc. with the product name? A brief description would be appreciated also. Please send responses directly to me (lee@itstd.sri.com). I will post a summary. Thanks, Diane

A DA or Ass't AG do not need either a warrant or probable cause to obtain copies of your records. The approved procedure is to use a subena deues tacem. The supena comes from a grand jury; the GJ requests your records to help it investigate whatever the DA or AAG wants the GJ to investigate. So any record the DA or AAG wants, he (or she) gets. A supena does not require probable cause. Often a DA (and less often a AAG) will just wander in and demand the records. They will threaten to get a supena. Since they can easily get a supena, and since most people hate a fight, this is often all that is required to obtain records. For example, in Lorain county OH the DA went to all the drug stores in Oberlin and demands the prescription lists. Seems he was looking for people (most likely oberlin college students) who were receiving the same prescription from several drug stores. I suppose those who did this (if there were any) sold or gave the extra happy pills to their friends. :-> Given the great all campus drug parties at Oberlin I'm sure this went on. OF course he incidently found out who was on what anti-depressent anti-psycicotic drug... always watching: cjs

Subject: Fwd: Trojan Horse PC not in USThis might be of interest... ---------- Forwarded message begins here ---------- Date: 14 Dec 1989 14:04:56-EST >From: Paul.Holbrook@SEI.CMU.EDU Subject: Trojan Horse PC not in US Here at the CERT we've been following information about the AIDS information disk/trojan horse pretty closely. (There was a New York Times article on Wednesday in the business section that quoted the CERT.) We are working on a more complete posting that we will put out to the net, but at this point it's worth saying that we have heard of no reports of this disk being sent to the United States. From what we've heard, most of the disks were sent to of subset of the subscribers of a UK PC magazine 'PC Business World'. It's been very hard to get real numbers on how many people received the disk, but the latest numbers (and these should be taken with a very large grain of salt) are that person or persons who sent the disks rented 7000 names from the list of 35,000 subscribers to PC Business World. There's no definitive answer on how many of those people were actually sent disks, but I talked to Alan Jay at the UK IBM PC User's Group, and he said that based on the number of calls they'd received, it was easily more than hundreds. Their best guess was 1/5 to 1/4 of 7000 got the disk. (Again, this is not confirmed.) So the bottom line is that it's unlikely to be a problem here. Still, if you should hear of anyone actually getting this disk outside of Eurpope, please have them get in touch with the CERT. J.

Hi, I was reading your message concerning a man who robbed affluent homes during the middle of the night while wearing a tux and armed with 1000 dollar bills. The letter reffered to the demise of the robber, but didnt give any particuliars of how he was caught, and what the "bearable" punishment was. The letter referred to couple of different downfall to the system. Just out of curiosity, could you please enlighten me to what they were. Thanks, Scot Scot_mac@uwav1.u.washington.edu

The January 1990 issue of MacWorld features as its cover story, a special report on "Data Safety". I'm not an expert, but the author seems to hit the major options. If anyone has experiences with the products described, please post your experiences. -Chris Christopher E.
