Cryptography

4/8/2010

Cryptography provides a way to distribute or receive information in secret code, so only the intended parties can read or send it. Cryptography in Windows Embedded CE-based devices includes the Cryptography API set (CryptoAPI), which provides services that enable application developers to add encryption and decryption of data. Application developers can use CryptoAPI without knowing details of the underlying implementation, in much the same way as they can use a graphics library without knowing anything about the particular graphics hardware settings. CryptoAPI works with a number of Cryptographic Service Providers that perform the actual cryptographic functions.

CryptoAPI supports both public key infrastructure (PKI) and symmetric key cryptography.

Julian Assange clocks up four years at the Ecuadorian embassy

WIKILEAKER Julian Assange is entering his fifth year as a man with a travel toothbrush and the heavy weight of legal charges over his head.

Assange is languishing in luxury or spending his time between chair and treadmill, depending on who you listen to. He most certainly is not at liberty, however, and has been living in a room at the Ecuadorian embassy.

Assange will - if he has been allowed to - have scratched some 1,462 marks on the wall of his room.

Each of these will probably cause him to lose his deposit, if he paid one, and each will serve as testimony to the number of days that he has been away from what he might consider his home.

The Free Assange campaign said that, as the fifth year rolls into being, it is perhaps time to do something about it.

The group is suggesting that policing his stay is a waste of time and money, and has a number of other people who are happy to corroborate that assertion.

A web site called Govwaste makes this point with a number of figures and comments, including a statement from Boris Johnson, London Mayor, who called the police effort a waste of money.

Govwaste said that the Ecuadorian agency has offered Assange amnesty for as long as he needs it, which bodes rather ill for police finances.

So far, the group said, the cost of policing the embassy would have paid for almost seven million meals for the needy.

Write for Rights Chelsea Manning

Sign this petition...

Dear President Obama,

I write regarding Chelsea Manning, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison on 21 August 2013 after leaking classified US government material to the website Wikileaks. I urge you to commute her sentence to the time she served in pre-trial detention, and release her immediately.

I also call on the US government to:

- Urgently investigate the potential human rights violations exposed by Chelsea Manning.

- Strengthen protections for those who reveal information that the public has the right to know, and stop using the Espionage Act to prosecute whistleblowers like Chelsea Manning.

During her trial, Chelsea Manning was not allowed to present evidence that she was acting in the public interest, and was only allowed to explain her motives at the sentencing phase. Some of the information leaked by Chelsea Manning was of great value to the public debate since it pointed to potential human rights violations and breaches of international humanitarian law by US troops, by Iraqi and Afghan forces operating alongside US forces, by military contractors and by the CIA.

Yours sincerely

Chelsea Manning was transgender ‘in secret’ while serving in US army

Chelsea Manning, the soldier jailed for her part in the Wikileaks affair, has revealed that she was transgender in secret while serving in the US army.

At the time of her May 2010 arrest over the leaking military and diplomatic documents, Manning was known as Bradley. Until now, very little has been known about Mannings history of gender identity, despite her very public legal battle with the US military over her civil rights the army private won the right to change her name, and her push for medical treatment while in prison has become something of a cause clbre for transgender rights in the military and even worldwide.

Writing for the Guardian from military prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in a passionate essay about largely invisible discrimination against transgender people, Manning declares: Were banned from serving our country in the armed services unless we serve as trans people in secret, as I did.

In August 2013, Manning was jailed for 35 years, for passing files to Wikileaks. The following day, Manning said she would from then on be known as Chelsea. In April 2014, a Kansas judge formally granted her request to change her name.

Mannings request for clemency was denied, before proceeding to appeal. She has formally applied to President Barack Obama for a pardon or reduced sentence.

Separately, she is suing the US military over its denial to her of gender dysphoria treatment, despite defense secretary Chuck Hagel having approved the process in July.

In Mannings case, gender dysphoria refers to an innate sense of being female though her sex at birth was male. Treatment includes psychotherapy, hormone therapy and surgery to change her primary and/or secondary sex characteristics.

A hearing in the case, in which Manning is also seeking to be allowed to grow her hair long and use cosmetics, is scheduled for January.
