Cracking one file might be hard, but I would be interested to know if anyone could gain an advantage by getting two copies of the same song and comparing them. Wouldn't you be able to "pick out" the frequency hopping watermark bits?
If you had three copies of the same piece, it seems that at any given bit, one might not be like the other two...
Any stegonographers in the audience tonight??
(I'm assuming that the watermarks won't all be the same for a given song. Besides, what good would that be?)
I've worked at NSA, I've had the polygraph, I've spilled my guts and deepest secrets to Agent Smith. But I never felt I was surrendering my liberties in the process. I am still free. I can go home and smoke pot if I want. I fully understand I will be surrendering that clearnance when I do it.
There is no brainwashing, no electo-shock therapy. At one point in my life, I was given the chance to decide, freely, whether I wanted to give up pot smoking for a chance to help out The Man. I did it. And I don't regret it.
Am I a freak? No. I believe in freedom. I believe code is speech. I have a DVD-CSS tshirt. I also believe freedom isn't free, and I was willing to fight for it.
How do you keep The Man from spying on the people? Work for him. Make sure it doesn't happen. That's who is reviewing this code.
In other news, J. Robert Oppenheimer is searching for help paying the legal bills after defending himself against 100,000 counts of first degree murder.
When will this madness end?!?!?
Who's next, the inventer of fire??? The wheel???
Ug.
(I'm wearing my DVD-CAA tshirt today.)
I'd like to hear some recent examples of technologies developed at NSA which were released to the commercial sector. What commercial initiatives has NSA collaborated on recently? (Perhaps, something Al Gore didn't invent?)
They're actually using heated "zirconia" -> "A wafer-thin, solid-oxide ceramic disk made of zirconia, about the size of a small cookie, is sandwiched between two platinum electrodes and heated to 1,380 degrees Fahrenheit (750 degrees Centigrade). When carbon dioxide is fed to this unit, the zirconia cell "cracks" the carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Only the oxygen can penetrate through to the other side of the disk; the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases are stopped in their tracks." from SpaceDaily

Damn loopback torpedos.

Somebody moderate ka9dgx up.
I think this guy is talking about a Trusted System, like C2 certification, ala orange book. I don't think you can swarm-code past those tests.
Go check out the post from ka9dgx: "Trusted Systems - Building Paranoia into the code" It's long, but it's good.
