Ito: True Tim, but we are working on ways of getting it shipped.

May: No. But close. Joichi Ito's keyboard is having that stuck key problem again. What he meant to type was:

"nsa nsa nsa nsa nsa..."

Which explains why that Japanese-produced RSA chip was suddenly withdrawn from the market shortly after Jim Bidzos held it up in fron of Congress as an example of how foolish the U.S. export laws are. The Japanese stooges were ordered by their masters in Washington to conform to U.S. policy.

Anonymous: Is that Japanese for "Wassenaar"?

Ito: Actually, cypherpunks-j is not connected to the CDR lists. I have made a local distribution of the cypherpunks list called cypherpunks-e, but there currently only 2 subscribers. I wonder why... ;-P

Cypherpunks-j and the meetings in Tokyo are focused more on writing code and less on stroking and beating each other.

We were going to call the list something else, but Eric Hughes attended one of our meetings and convinced us to call ourselves cypherpunks... maybe that was a stupid decision.

But, I suppose chaos is good. For you and for us. It's always nice to be reminded that racisms in the US is still alive and active. Sometime I forget and almost identify with you folks.

Oh and by the way:

Article 21 of the Constitution of Japan

Freedom of assembly and association as well as speech, press and all other forms of expression are guaranteed. 2) No censorship shall be maintained, nor shall the secrecy of any means of communication be violated.

TruthMonger: I tried to tell my fellow CypherPunks that it was a mistake to include that racist, white supremacist cypherpunks-j list in with the other CDR lists, but they still let those slant-eyed white supremacists join our Mary band, skirts and all.

May: If you don't like my views, use your filters.

Or set up Yet Another Personal List (like those set up by Perry, Lewis, Declan, Bob, Nick, and others). Then you can exclude me from your YAPL. The Cypherpunks list is, unlike these YAPLs, uncensored, unfiltered at the source, and open to any and all subscribers.

I call em as I see em when it comes to our Japanese (in name, as he may actually not be Japanese, given his "hotmail" account) who sends us his "send me money I send you Misty code" crap.

Cypherpunks list - Tim May’s offensive racism (was: about RC4)

Anonymous: This illustrates what a liability the poster has become to the cypherpunks. The group is becoming just another militia front, identified with racism and white supremacy, applauding violent murder of government agents, one step from applauding the Oklahoma killings.  Its original purpose all but forgotten, the list has died, poisoned by the hatred flowing from its leader.

May: It am developed.

You go back where you came. You go back hotmail. We tired your stupid questions on RC4 and your Misty posts.

Sayonara!

(And they wonder why we kicked Japan's butt.)

There are RC4 sourcecode in ftp.replay.com.

but, Is it  same RC4 developed RSADSI ?

Wikipedia - Advanced Encryption Standard process

On January 2, 1997, NIST announced that they wished to choose a successor to DES to be known as AES. Like DES, this was to be "an unclassified, publicly disclosed encryption algorithm capable of protecting sensitive government information well into the next century." However, rather than simply publishing a successor, NIST asked for input from interested parties on how the successor should be chosen. Interest from the open cryptographic community was immediately intense, and NIST received a great many submissions during the three-month comment period.

The result of this feedback was a call for new algorithms on September 12, 1997. The algorithms were all to be block ciphers, supporting a block size of 128 bits and key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits. Such ciphers were rare at the time of the announcement; the best known was probably Square.
