Mr. Keith M. Kupferschmid
Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks
Box 4, Patent and Trademark Office
Washington, DC 20231 November 22, 1996 Dear Mr. Kupferschmid, Problems With the Database Treaty Proposal There are many problems with the "Sui Generis Protection of Databases" treaty proposal. This treaty should be taken off the agenda in Geneva until interested parties within the United States have had the opportunity to discuss and debate the serious implications of its passage. There have been no public hearings on this proposal. It is premature to take any official U.S. stance at this time. This is particularly troubling because in the United States many government databases are maintained by private contractors. The pieces of information contained within those databases rightfully are part of the public domain; there is no other source for this information. The private vendors who receive government contracts to maintain information owned by the people should not be given a property interest in that government information. Furthermore, under the proposed database treaty, the government will be permitted to avoid compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) if it uses private contractors, since the contractors will be said to have property rights to the public information. In addition, there are problems with several definitions contained within the treaty. The definition of "database" is all-encompassing and will include many things that are not traditionally considered to be databases, such as collections of government documents. The term "substantial" is troubling, in that it takes into account the database maintainer's perceived lost value in the marketplace. Under this definition, it is reasonable to assume that even small portions of information used from a database would be considered a substantial portion of the database and would constitute violation of the treaty. With no fair use rights, database users would be precluded from using any bits of information they receive from a database if the database maintainer has charged for that information.

MS, Watchdogs Team Up on Privacy
Page 1 of 1
09:15 AM Apr. 06, 1999 PT A new privacy tool, developed by Microsoft with active input from watchdog groups, gives Web-site operators the ability to tailor privacy safeguards to their needs. The software, known as Privacy Wizard, also supports P3P, a Web standard many have given up for dead. Microsoft, along with privacy watchdogs Truste and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, hopes to revive it. Available without charge, Privacy Wizard is priced to move.

The Web-based service will allow any site, regardless of size, to create its own privacy policies, informing users about what the site does with the personal information it collects. Microsoft hopes the free service will encourage start-ups and small Web businesses with limited technical and legal resources to join the privacy effort.

Docket No. 990811219-9219-01 Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you for giving us the opportunity to submit additional comments in reference to the Public Workshop on Online Profiling that was held recently in Washington DC. Trying to reach a resolution on this issue is difficult since in general, people think that issues surrounding identity are critical, yet we as a society have not yet had a full discussion about it. Effective Notice and Self-Regulation Two of the main issues identified at the Workshop were that consumers do not always receive effective notice about how personal information is being gathered about them as they travel through cyberspace, and whether self-regulation is the proper vehicle to continue to protect consumer interests online. Many of the companies who presented in the morning discussed the types of information that they collect and the purposes for which they use this data. Some collect only information that is not personally identifiable while others collect personally identifiable information. Privacy interests are implicated even for non-identifiable personal information because as it was pointed out, triangulation is inevitable.

Info Watchdogs Challenge FBI Wiretap Plan
Page 1 of 1
03:06 PM Aug. 11, 1997 PT Saying they want to stop the FBI from overreaching its legal authority to tap into digital communications, two privacy groups filed a petition Monday asking the Federal Communications Commission to mediate the bureau's attempts to create a huge new system of surveillance. "It's become really clear that the FBI is overstepping its authority," said Alan Davidson, staff counsel for the Center for Democracy and Technology, which, along with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, filed the petition
Story Tools
Today's Top 5 Stories
The move is the latest in a two-year struggle between law enforcement, privacy groups, and phone companies over a 1994 law called the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. Known as CALEA, the law requires phone companies to factor in surveillance needs as they adopt new communications technology. Congress mandated a US$500 million federal payment to help industry accomplish the task and to create national standards for equipment redesign. So far, Congress has only handed over $100 million, and phone companies and privacy groups say that the FCC needs to step in and mediate the process. "We determined last month that we had reached an impasse," said Tim Ayers, spokesman for the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, which filed a similar petition with the FCC in mid-July on behalf of 90 percent of the nation's cellular carriers, and with backing from the US Telephone Association.

RSA: Crack DES in a Day
Page 1 of 2 next
02:05 PM Dec. 22, 1998 PT RSA Data Security is trying to drive home a very simple point: The US government's standard for securing sensitive data from prying eyes is far too weak. The encryption technology vendor launched another encryption challenge Tuesday. RSA's DES Challenge III invites hackers and computer experts to illustrate the main point repeatedly made by opponents of US encryption policy.
Story Tools
Today's Top 5 Stories
RSA claims messages and data secured with the Data Encryption Standard, or DES, can be cracked in a few days. Therefore, it argues, the government should replace DES with more modern, stronger encryption technology. The government established the 56-bit DES as a standard in 1977. It claims that the vast difficulty and expense in cracking DES makes it sufficiently safe. Allowing the use of stronger encryption, the government maintains, would only help terrorists and other criminals communicate without government monitoring. The export of 128-bit "strong" encryption without "key recovery" is illegal. Key recovery allows third parties, such as law enforcement, to retrieve encrypted information. The US policy has long angered privacy advocates and the computer industry, which is eager to sell its encryption wares overseas.

03:40 PM Jun. 29, 1998 PT SAN FRANCISCO Tie-dyed cloth covered the tables Friday night at the Fillmore Auditorium, this city's shrine to '60s psychedelia. Bands played covers of Grateful Dead tunes, among other period anthems. But in addition to the swirling light show surrounding the stage, the dance hall walls were emblazoned by giant projected logos from the likes of Oracle, Pacific Bell, and Merrill Lynch. California's high-tech industry is famous for melding big money with big visionaries, and at Friday's second annual party by the Electronic Frontier Foundation , the harmonic convergence was in full swing.

Microsoft, Electronic Frontier Foundation Propose Simpler Internet Privacy Standards Washington, D.C. - April 6, 1999 - Microsoft Corp. and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today proposed new guidelines for making the Web safer and more secure. The new technology and standards-based solution is designed to accelerate the widespread adoption of P3P, a privacy framework that puts people in control of their personal information and makes the Web a safer place for commerce. The proposed guidelines, which Microsoft and the EFF will submit to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), will make it easier for online businesses to communicate their privacy practices to consumers and help create critical foundations for an Internet that consumers can trust. The announcement was made today at the Computers, Freedom and Privacy conference, an annual gathering of Internet policy-makers and industry in Washington D.C.

Ed Felten in Freedom to Tinker: Use a Firewall, Go to Jail
Ed Felten blogged some background on two similar bills proposed in Massachusetts and Texas . The Texas bill, SB 1116 , has been referred to as an "anticircumvention bill," and presents significant issues in its implications, examples of which are documented by Felten. EFF-Austin is reviewing the bill and will be following up. [Link] Here is one example of the far-reaching harmful effects of these bills. Both bills would flatly ban the possession, sale, or use of technologies that "conceal from a communication service provider ... the existence or place of origin or destination of any communication". Your ISP is a communcation service provider, so anything that concealed the origin or destination of any communication from your ISP would be illegal with no exceptions. If you encrypt your email, you're in violation, because the "To" line of the email is concealed from your ISP by encryption. If you use a secure connection to pick up your email, you're in violation, because the "From" lines of the incoming emails are concealed from your ISP by the encrypted connection.

About the Author
The Electronic Frontier Foundation was founded in July of 1990 to ensure that the principles embodied in the Constitution and Bill of Rights are protected as new communications technologies emerge. To this end, the EFF:
  • Sponsors cases such as the CDA, Steve Jackson Games, and Bernstein v. Department of State and NSA cases, in which users' online civil liberties have been violated. Additionally, EFF submits amicus briefs and finds pro bono counsel when possible for important legal cases. We continue to monitor the online community for legal actions that merit EFF support.
  • Works to ensure that communications carriers do not deny service to network users solely on the basis of the content of their messages and that carriers do not bear undue liability for harm stemming from the content of messages where that harm is actually caused by users.
  • Produces legal white papers informing BBS operators, telephone companies, and public utility commissions about the civil liberties implications of their actions. We monitor legislation and agency actions affecting the online community. We also work with EFF members and groups of members on state and local levels to affect change in local legislation.

08:53 AM Jun. 10, 1997 PT If people had greater confidence in the companies working the digital marketplace, they would be buying loads of stuff online - or so goes the argument that has given birth to TRUSTe . Formerly known as eTrust, the brainchild of the Electronic Frontier Foundation will usher in the commercial availability of its "trustmark" program to promote trust - and therefore e-commerce - Tuesday night in Washington. "The whole initiative revolves around disclosure of privacy practices by the sites and informed consent of the user," TRUSTe executive director Susan Scott told Wired News.
Story Tools
Today's Top 5 Stories
Participating sites will pay between US$500 and $5,000, depending on their size and sensitivity, to license the trustmarks. The marks are intended to let visitors know what kind of information the site is collecting and for what purpose. There are three possible labels for each page of a licensed site. One promises "no exchange" of information - that the site is not collecting any data from the visitor. A "one-to-one" label means that the site is collecting information from the visitor for its own use and won't share it with others. A "third-party" label will describe what kind of information will be shared and with whom.
