   those I-mails can be saved, even if they claim for "autodestruction" :
   you just have to make a screencopy, and that's it  !)
   +  if  you  want  to  erase  definitivly  something,  quite  a  few
   interesting  programs can make it almost secured by overwriting files,
   erase  swap  and  so on  (see http://security.tao.ca/wipe.html), or
   encrypt your entire disk !
   
   +  this  list  is  not  aimed to teach How To, but to coordinate, &
   discuss,  hackers/activists/hacktivits concerns, and projects.
   Go   to  security.tao.ca, or wiretapped.net, for instance, to learn
   how to secure your communications, and download some utilities.
   
   As those websites are in english, & as the JEDII would be better if
   internationally understandable, let's make a directory of pertinent
   websites in every kind of language, like  http://jya.com/crypto-free.htm.
   For instance, & for now, based on the recent post of this list :

   Spanish :
http://www.rediris.es/pgp/1tc-pgp/
http://www.kriptopolis.com
El sitio de Antonio:
http://www.ctv.es/USERS/ac/pgp/home.htm#Indice

Para la version 5.5.3i dentro de este te sugiero ver:
http://www.laneta.apc.org/home/soporte/pgp/pgp553i.htm
de la quinta a la novena parte,
(suponiendo que ya instalaste y creaste tus llaves).
Despues para ver lo de firmar documentos abiertos:

   French
http://come.to/pgpenfrancais
http://www.bugbrother.com
http://www.securite.org/index2.html
http://cryptologie.free.fr/

   an  index  of  english  spoken  website is much easier to do,
   the main problem is even that there are tons of links !
   Who could do this ?

   This growing list could be made available on the empty (why ?) section
   of  hacktivism.tao.ca,  + wiretapped.net (if agreed) and all the other
   sites that could mirror JEDII.

=======================================================================
[1] New EPIC Crypto Report Finds Progress and Potential Threats
=======================================================================

The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) today released
"Cryptography and Liberty 2000: An International Survey of Encryption
Policies."  This is the third annual survey of encryption policy
conducted by EPIC.  The report finds that the movement towards the
relaxation of regulations of encryption technologies has largely
succeeded.  In particular, in the vast majority of countries,
cryptography may be freely used, manufactured, and sold without
restriction.

"Cryptography and Liberty" notes that export controls remain the most
powerful obstacle to the development and free flow of encryption
products and services.  However, the rise of electronic commerce and
the need to protect privacy and increase the security of the Internet
have resulted in the development of policies that favor the spread of
strong encryption worldwide.

Despite these advances, the battle for secure and private
communications is not yet won.  EPIC's report finds that some
countries are now proposing "lawful access" requirements that would
force users to disclose keys or decrypted files to government
agencies.  Others are considering proposals that give intelligence and
law enforcement agencies new powers to conduct surveillance, break
into buildings or hack computers to obtain encryption keys and obtain
information.  Law enforcement and intelligence agencies are also
demanding and receiving substantial increases in budgets.  These new
powers and budgets raise concerns about the expansion of government
surveillance and the need for public accountability.

Presenting the findings of the report at a press conference today in
Washington, EPIC Senior Fellow Wayne Madsen stressed that "the
majority of countries around the world are not interested in
controlling encryption; however, a few nations are now proposing
surreptitious and covert methods for obtaining private keys and access
to encoded communications."

EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg said that the report will
contribute significantly to the ongoing discussion about the right to
communicate freely and in private in the digital age. "Strong
encryption is critical for the development of networks that will
safeguard personal communications," he said.

International Survey of Encryption Policy" (EPIC, 154 pages,
