Palestinian Sites Knocked Offline By Mideast Conflict
Contrary to recent reports, Israeli Web sites have
not born the brunt of the escalating violence in
the Middle East, security experts said today.
Indeed, the pace of attacks on Israeli Web sites
has slowed sharply this year, even as numerous
Palestinian government sites have been unreachable
due to the conflict in the region.

ISP forced to pull 'sabotage' site
German railway company wins court battle.
A Dutch court has upheld a request from German
railway company Deutsche Bahn to order internet
service provider XS4All to remove documents
published by dissident group Radikal. The group
advocates disrupting nuclear waste shipments by
cutting overhead power lines on train tracks. An
XS4All spokesman said that Deutsche Bahn wanted
to block the home page of one of its users because
it contained two 'sabotage' articles from 1996.

Rep. Goodlatte Calls For 'War' Against Digital Piracy
At a digital music conference today, Rep. Bob
Goodlatte, R-Va., said that legislators and law
enforcers would have to fight and win a "war"
against online piracy in order for the digital
marketplace to have any chance of realizing its
full potential. "This war against piracy must be
waged on several different fronts, including the
commitment of adequate resources to law enforcement,
the cooperation of various industry players, and
the education of consumers," Goodlatte said in
prepared remarks.

Biting further into 'Carnivore'
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)
has won another round in its effort to obtain further
information regarding "Carnivore," the FBI's Internet
surveillance system. In an order dated March 25, a
federal trial court in Washington, D.C., commanded
the FBI to search for further records relating to
Carnivore within 60 days. In tandem with records
already produced, EPIC may soon get to the heart
of Carnivore. The Carnivore Internet monitoring
system raises questions about the appropriate
balance between privacy and national security/law
enforcement interests.

The Security Sentinels
Here are the tales of three trailblazers whose work
in computer security and forensics have helped shape
modern practices. As far back as the 1970s, three
women began preparing the world for the havoc about
to be unleashed by networked computing. From their
humble origins in law enforcement and academia, their
influence on computer security practices has spread
to government and private sector alike - despite the
fact that two of the women had virtually no IT or
scientific backgrounds.

Not just sci-fi: Uncrackable encryption
When I first heard about the encryption technique
developed by Dr. Richard Hughes, it sounded like
science fiction. After he explained it to me in
detail, it still sounded like science fiction.
Imagine, if you will, a means of delivering
encryption keys that is so secure that it's
impossible to break because doing so would violate
the laws of physics. In other words, the delivery
method is so secure, it's protected by the very
fabric of the universe.

National ID Plans Face Hurdles
Distributing thousands of card readers,
guarding against corrupt insiders, defending
against fraudsters and hack attacks... Plans
to create a national ID card are fraught with
peril. The attacks of September 11 prompted
several proposals for national identification
cards, but such systems have not been adequately
evaluated to determine their overall goals and
prevent potential abuses, according to panelists
at the Computers Freedom and Privacy Conference,
which opened today in San Francisco.

Lawmakers Will Move To Block Spectrum Auction
A quartet of influential House lawmakers say they
will attempt to block the Federal Communications
Commission's (FCC) plan to auction off a valuable
swath of airwave spectrum. "This auction is not
ready for prime time," House Commerce Committee
aide Ken Johnson said today. "The FCC has no
(third-generation wireless) plan in place, they
have no (high-definition television) plan in place
and most importantly, they have no spectrum
management plan in place."
