Talk:Student Projects:Encryption Use

Stuff that was here

--Aterry I removed the References, Outline, and Timeline from here since they are now in other places on our WIKI. I think we should use this space for only discussion now. It will be easier if we dont have all that other stuff taking up the space here at the top.

Open Issues

--Jopos 20:44, 1 Nov 2004 (PST) Hey guys, I think this section might be useful to discuss any open issues or ideas that we may have. After all, this is a discussion page. Feel free to post questions and comments about the project so that we can all benefit from it.

--Jopos 20:52, 1 Nov 2004 (PST) John, As you have already seen by our preliminary paper outline, we have already deligated specific sections. However, I think that the Encryption Policy section which Steve will be working on is quite a large topic, since there are many government policies that affect encryption(I already made the changes on the paper outline). So i think that it would be beneficial and put less of a burden on Steve if you two were to break that section into sub-sections. Then we can all collaborate on the Analysis section as we originally planned.

--Jopos 22:55, 7 Nov 2004 (PST) Guys, I created a project summary page that you can find under the "Wiki Pages" link on our main project page. Take a look, and let me know what you think. I noticed that John created a page as well, however i think that we may need a little more information than what he posted. Post or send me any comments so that we can turn this summary in.

--Aterry 23:07, 7 Nov 2004 (PST) Josh, I checked out the page you made and it looks good to me. I think what we have there is good enough to mail to Tap for the assignment. Once everyone looks at it and OKs it, we can e-mail him tomorrow.

--Jopos 11:22, 8 Nov 2004 (PST) Made a couple more changes to the project description. Take a look Encryption_Project_Description. Changes are in bold.

--Jopos 11:39, 8 Nov 2004 (PST) I changed the layout of the paper outline page a little. It still has the same content, but i think it looks nicer now.

--Aterry 12:39, 16 Nov 2004 (PST) How are everyone's sections going? I have pretty much written the history section, but am working now on adding some more current material such as maybe some Al Qaida stuff like was mentioned in our feedback. We can then refer to that material in our analysis and hopefully relate some policy too. It looks like Josh has written most of his section and posted it. I will post something soon too. I think we should all try to read up some more on policy (in a real library :) )and John and Steven can work on writing that section up so that we can move on to the analysis some time soon.

--Jopos 11:13, 17 Nov 2004 (PST) Guys, I have posted my section Encryption_Background. Please take a look at it and tell me what you think.

--Aterry 12:30, 22 Nov 2004 (PST) I posted a draft of my history section. It is linked from the main page. I added the headings to it, but it is meant to be read straight through. It's about 6 pages double spaced. Please take a look at it and tell me what you think and any ideas, suggestions, etc. that you have. I'm sure it can be written better, but it is a start. Thanks.

--Aterry 12:37, 22 Nov 2004 (PST) Oh yeah, did you guys find much information about encryption and Al-Qaida when researching policy stuff? I didn't find much about it except speculation that they hide secret messages in images and videos on the Internet (stenography). I'm not sure exactly what the professor wanted us to look into for Al-Quaida part. Let me know if you guys know more than I do.

--Jopos 10:46, 1 Dec 2004 (PST) Guys, please post a version (written, not notes) on the main wiki page so that we can all look over each others work. Were getting pretty close to the deadline, so lets get things done.

--Aterry 23:37, 2 Dec 2004 (PST) Hey guys, I e-mailed out a new revision where I addressed John's comments. Take a look at it. The paper looks pretty good now and it is due tomorrow. We need to come to a point where we have put everything in and it is ready to hand in. Let's communicate as to when we have put in our final revisions for this draft.

--Jopos 20:06, 4 Dec 2004 (PST) I posted the first draft that we handed in on the main page.

--Aterry 16:37, 7 Dec 2004 (PST) What do you guys think we should do about our final draft? I saw Prof. Lazowska's comments about maybe needing more policy stuff in there. Maybe we can add a section or two or beef up the policy sections we already have. I am free this week to work some more on the paper until Friday when it is due.

--Jopos 11:15, 9 Dec 2004 (PST) Hey guys, I fixed a bunch of typos and added a section to the paper in the analysis section. Take a look. I also have added a new reference to the reference page.

--Aterry 16:40, 9 Dec 2004 (PST) Hey Guys, I just sent out another version with changes that Josh and I made to the policy sections. Check them out and let us know what you think.

--Jopos 16:50, 9 Dec 2004 (PST) I have added another reference on a policy that just came out today... Good timing i guess.

--Jopos 14:36, 10 Dec 2004 (PST) I posted the final draft of our project on the main page.

--Aterry 15:31, 10 Dec 2004 (PST) We are finally done! Thanks for a good quarter and nice job with the project fellas. Good luck...
