From: Mike Destro Area: Public Key Encryption To: Shawn McMahon 28 Feb 95 10:35:48 Subject: Pgp news UpdReq Hello Shawn! Answering a msg of <24 Feb 95>, from Shawn McMahon to Jim Bell: In regards to the letter campaign to the attorney, I must agree with you, writing him would be a bad idea. But I think I might have a better one. How about writing your senators and congress people, mention the case and where you stand on it (we support Phil of course) and anything they might do to help Phil would go a long ways toward securing your vote in the next election otherwise you might have to find someone to represent you who's opinions are similar to your own. Most elected officials view each letter received as representing a certain number of people (such as 1 letter = 100 people/voters). Remember to *ALWAYS* be polite, no threats, direct or otherwise, except for the "we might have to vote for someone else" routine. This does work too. Here in my home town we are feuding with the local cable company, and we didn't get anywhere until we started saying the same thing to our elected officaials. Well what do you think Shawn? I wrote this to you but I'm sure (at least I hope) the others will read this.

I've examined demilled TEMPEST pc cases and other stuff before, on several occasions at various GSA auctions. I just recently bought two 'yellow tagged' TEMPEST certified Packet TNC's out of Keesler AFB in Mississippi. On the TNC's, even the status LED's are shielded. If you ever get the chance to examine any TEMPEST certified equipment, do it. You wouldn't believe the 'paranoia' that goes it to it.

Also, if there wasn't any RF generated, there wouldn't be a need for TEMPEST. Splitting hairs, are we?

TEMPEST is a standard for electromagnetic shielding for computer equipment. It was created in response to the discovery that information can be read from computer radiation (e.g., from a CRT) at quite a distance and with little effort. Needless to say, encryption doesn't do much good if the cleartext is available this way. For more info you can freq TEMPEST from here. If I have it set up right that should get you a 21k zip with two text files on tempest. If you have a problem let me know. Scott Gun Control is being able to hit your target.
