22.Jan.2000 Individual Computers |
Individual Computers News As reported yesterday, Individual Computers took over the hardware department of VMC. By the way, now we know why the X-Surf was delayed for a week ;-). Jens Schönfeld sells his accident car to the highest bid, the car he crashed in in December 99. The pictures clearly document that Jens has a protective angel (and a good car) with him, since he went unscathed despite rolling about twice. (Translation: mb) [News message: 22.

Request Andreas Kleinert writes: I am looking for somebody who would coordinate a handful of people interested in doing independant benchmarks with the existing JFIF and PNG datatypes for 68k and PPC. The problem with... erm... manufacturer-conducted benchmarks is, that they are not necessarily transparant for everyone in every detail. E.g. graphics from Aminet should be used for the tests, so everybody can test them himself. Additionally, different configurations could lead to different results, so several configs should be listed. I picture it like this:
Is somebody interested in organizing something like this? Please contact Andreas Kleinert. (Translation: mb) [News message: 22. Jan. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

Andreas Kleinert closes his website... ...at least for some days. He writes: Due to the massive software piracy and other tendencies to de-stabilize the Amiga software market (not even counting subtle attempts to bash the competition with unfair methods), I decided to take this page down for some days. In the meantime, the website does no longer carry the statement that was posted there originally, and only offers a link to the RegNet registration site. (Translation: mb) [News message: 22.

What to do if you encounter pirated software? Kent Seaton has posted some Howto's about this in the NoPiracy forum, which have been included in the "No Piracy" website. (Translation: mb) [News message: 22. Jan. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

NTRU Cryptosystems, Inc. announces availability of Tumbler(TM) Software Toolkit NTRU Cryptosystems, Inc. has announced the availability of the Tumbler(TM) software toolkit implementing NTRU, the world's fastest secure public key cryptography system. The Tumbler(TM) toolkit was developed by Tao Group. Tumbler(TM) delivers encryption, decryption, authentication and digital signature features at speeds over 100 times faster than alternative systems, including those from RSA (Nasdaq:RSAS) and Certicom (Toronto:CIC), at equivalent security levels. Read the full press release below: Return-Path: majordomo-owner@owlnet.net From: Gary Peake gpeake@texas.net To: "amiganewsfeed"@phoebe.hosting4u.net Subject: [ANF] Tao's Tumbler(TM) Cryptographic Toolkit Operates 100 Times Faster Than Rivals Date: Fri, 21 Jan 2000 01:04:12 -0600 Organization: http://www.owlnet.net Reply-To: amiganewsfeed@owlnet.net Boston, MA, January 20th, 2000 NTRU Cryptosystems, Inc. has announced the availability of the Tumbler(TM) software toolkit implementing NTRU, the world's fastest secure public key cryptography system. The Tumbler(TM) toolkit was developed by Tao Group. Tumbler(TM) delivers encryption, decryption, authentication and digital signature features at speeds over 100 times faster than alternative systems, including those from RSA (Nasdaq:RSAS) and Certicom (Toronto:CIC), at equivalent security levels. "The need for public key security is moving from traditional Information Technology (IT) applications to mass market consumer electronics devices, such as wireless telephones, portable music players and digital televisions." said Scott Crenshaw, NTRU Vice President of Business Development. "These applications have vastly different requirements than IT applications. Solutions for consumer devices must be fast, inexpensive to implement in hardware, and consume minimal power. All of the existing technologies, including Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems (ECC), are just too large and slow. NTRU delivers the ideal solution for the emerging consumer electronics market." Key benefits of Tumbler(TM) over the competition include: Fast performance, even on low speed processors Small memory footprint Low cost to implement in hardware (fewer gates required) Increased server performance (supports more users with fewer servers) Reduced battery consumption Francis Charig, Chairman & Chief Executive of Tao Group said "Tumbler incorporates unique technologies from both NTRU and Tao. Our development team has worked with NTRU to develop successfully a toolkit which can resolve many of the security issues faced by digital appliances on mobile, home and professional networks." The technology in the Tumbler(TM) toolkit is ideally suited for applications where high performance, high security and low power consumption are required, such as wireless data communications, Internet music and video distribution, micro payments, e-commerce and embedded devices. Developed by a team of world renowned mathematicians and cryptographers, NTRU provides the fastest and most efficient public key cryptography solution - at all security levels. Unlike other technologies, NTRU resists parallel processing attacks. Likewise, its disposable key technology allows frequent public key changes. Those properties dramatically reduce the risk of power analysis, timing attacks, and the danger of security breaches due to misplaced, lost, or intercepted keys. Perhaps most important of all, NTRU offers high levels of security without the performance sacrifices inherent in systems such as RSA and ECC. The NTRU technology has been extensively studied by both the academic and commercial cryptographic community. Complete technical details, including a tutorial, are available on NTRU's web site at www.ntru.com/tech.learning.htm. NTRU's unprecedented performance advantages open up new options for security. Its super fast key generation allows the encryption of every transaction with a different public key. Disposable key use enables completely new paradigms in encryption - for example, encrypting every second of a music clip with a different key. That means, on a three-minute clip, the time and cost of breaking the encryption increase by a factor of 180. Disposable keys also allow every wireless data transaction to be encrypted with a different independent key. Unlike other systems that claim to generate multiple encryption keys to protect media, NTRU disposable keys are completely independent of one another, dramatically enhancing security. Disposable keys will become increasingly necessary as insecure channels carry valuable data. At the heart of NTRU is a collection of mathematical algorithms based on manipulating lists of very small integers. This allows NTRU to achieve high speeds with the use of minimal computing power. NTRU is the first practical and secure public key cryptosystem not based on factorization or discrete logarithm problems, which require the use of extremely large integers or complex structures. The computations performed in NTRU involve simpler processes that can be performed very quickly even on inexpensive 8-bit processors at security levels equivalent to other public key cryptosystems.

KOSH Trouble Gary Peake writes: We're having server problems again. http://www.iconimaging.net/kosh/ is currently down, as are mailing lists. We're working to try and rectify this situation, but there's nothing we can do about it right now. http://kosh.convergence.org/ is still live. Mailing lists will be up again somewhere ASAP - it would be helpful if subscribers could get in touch in case we can't get hold of a list. If anyone wants to know anything can they mail me (greg@kosh.convergence.org) and I'll try and answer any questions. (Translation: mb) [News message: 21.

New CD by Warp9 Ramboy writes: Starting immediately, you can order my new CD on the Warp9 page. All tracks have been produced exclusively on Amiga systems. This CD is especially suited for parties, ranging from Hard Trance to Club. In any case a must have for all who want to have a real party again. Demo songs for listening in will probably be added soon to my page. BTW, 11 months work have been put in this CD. (Translation: mb) [News message: 20.
