ZeroKnowledge's Freedom Server Code Available

Posted by michael on from the happy-valentine's-day dept.

    It was available when ZKS shutdown freedom in the aftermath of 9/11, uh, excuse me, because there was "no market" for it.

    AFAIK, the source was never removed, though I grabbed it immediately in case it had been.

    And how would that work, anyway, with PGP? A passphrase usually unlocks only a private key, which, erm, we don't have, as far as I know.

    Symetrically encrypted messages. An md5 sum of the passphrase is ussed to encrypt the session key and this is symetrically encrypted session key is sent just like an asymetricically encrypted session key at the beginning of the message.(Hopefully the session key encryption uses the same cipher as the message. Failing that 3DES. but it's been a little while since I've read the OpenPGP spec.)

  5. Freedom Source Mirror and New CodeCon URL! by lowy · · Score: 4, Informative

    CodeCon is being broadcast live from the DNA Lounge over streaming video.

    They just announced Ryan at HavenCo has changed the password to the codecon.org server and conference organizers can no longer log in. They have setup a New Server for CodeCon which has updated info on the conference.

    The source to the Freedom Network servers linked from this new server is now at Linux Fund. Yeah!
