SF Bay Area Cypherpunks (80th Chairborne Regiment)
September 1999 Physical Meeting Announcement
General Info:
DATE: Saturday 11 September 1999
TIME: 1:00 - 6:00 PM (Pacific Time)
PLACE: AT&T, 2730 San Tomas Expressway, Santa Clara CA
Heads-Up for September!
"Pay no attention to the Men behind your Curtain."
The September 1999 Physical Meeting of the San Francisco Bay Area Cypherpunks
will feature the A5/2 cryptanalysis, and new of recent events in government,
law enforcement and cypherpunkdom (Crypto'99, Burning Man, etc). The meeting
will be in two parts, a general discussion featuring a discussion of the
recently-retracted PECSENC recommendations (see below), followed by some
technical presentations and, if we're fortunate, an IPsec interoperability
challenge.
As always, this is an Open Meeting on US Soil (in this case a few
meters above the soil) and members of the Public are encouraged to attend.
Meeting Agenda:
"Our agenda is a widely-held secret."
Preantepenultimate Session (12:00-1:00):
0. Everyone hangs around, consuming food and (caffeinated)
beverages and looking vaguely suspicious. Optional.
General Session (1:00-2:30 pm):
1. Crypto'99 Rump Session Roundup
2. Microsoft's _NSAKEY: the Postmortem?
Microsoft: an NSA shill, or a victim of programmer's humor?
