Report recommends overhaul of cyberdefenses
A CONGRESSIONALLY APPOINTED panel of national
security experts Wednesday recommended the creation
of a National Homeland Security Agency (NHSA) to
oversee government and private sector efforts to
protect the nation's critical infrastructure from
cyber and physical attacks. The U.S. Commission on
National Security, headed by former senators
Gary Hart and Warren B. Rudman, urged the Bush
administration to form the new agency and to include
a National Crisis Action Center as a "focal point
for monitoring emergencies and for coordinating
federal support in a crisis to state and local
governments, as well as to the private sector."

RSA encryption cracked
Leo de Velez has discovered these three formulas
are simple forward equations that allow fast
decoding of RSA encryption. RSA is an Internet
encryption and authentication system that uses
an algorithm developed in 1977 by Ron Rivest,
Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. The RSA
algorithm is the most commonly used encryption
and authentication algorithm and is included as
part of the Web browser from Netscape and
Microsoft.
