Krypto: Kauft nicht bei Amerikanern-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- geschlagen, dass in Indien nur solche Krypto-Software eingesetzt werde, die von den US Diensten zu knacken sei. Man plädiert für eine inner/indische Lösung & hat nach eigenen Angaben die nötige Krypto-Software grossteils schon geschrieben. Davon, dass Indiens Regierung weltweit so ziemlich die wildesten Abhörpläne gegen die eigene Bevölkerung hat, ist in diesem Alarmruf nicht die Rede. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Mayur Shetty MUMBAI 11 JANUARY THE Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has issued a `red alert' against all network security software developed in the US. And the Central Vigilance Commissioner, N Vittal, is following up on the warning - he might make it mandatory for all Indian banks and financial institutions to buy only software developed in India. The DRDO's concern about US-developed software stems from one basic insecurity - the data traffic and network security software that comes from the US can be easily hacked into and could prove to be a security hazard. Currently US software vendors can export only those "encryption software products" that can be `broken' by the US National Security Agency. .... In a letter to the CVC, the centre for artificial intelligence of the DRDO, Bangalore, has said that it has begun to develop secure communication tools and will have an indigenous prototype in place in three months. .... The centre has developed software tools that protect wide area networks from hostile attackers. It is also developing software tools for protecting traffic passing through the network. "The encryption part of the software is complete and only the communication protocols remain to be written," the DRDO unit's letter says. "Since the software has been written by ourselves, there is no upper limit on the security level provided by the encryption in the software exported from the USA," it added. .... It also points out that as per US law, ``no encryption software products can be exported from the US if they are too strong to be broken by the US National Security Agency''. .... "Another related point is that when we buy an imported software product that is a `black box' to us, we cannot be sure that the software package does not contain a time bomb of sorts, to cause havoc to the network when an external command is issued by a hostile nation.'' Mr Vittal is also believed to have agreed to this and said he was in favour of working towards developing the indigenous software within three to four months. However, banks are yet to receive any directive from the CVC on this issue. http://www.economictimes.com/120199/lead2.htm -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 1999-01-15 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
