X-Remark: *Possible Duplicate--Pnews Had Problem Posting Earlier Copy* We are considering compiling a bibliography of documents relating to technical security measures and technical surveillance countermeasures. We hope that our bibliography will be extensive and will give a complete treatment to the topic at hand. You, the readers of the posted groups, may contribute directly to the success of this effort. As a sampling of technical literature, we are first attempting to create a subset bibliography on time-domain reflectometry. Those familiar with the hardware will know of its high level of usage in both laboratory and field applications for both security and standards (or benchmarking) work. But little has apparently been published on the topic; opening this small niche in bibliography will likely lead to a greater understanding for us on the level of effort required to create the overall bibliography. Electronic security is often used to avoid the need for using cryptography; it is definitely a growth industry. For example, observe the exponential increase in the use of TEMPEST hardware during the 70s and 80s. Please: If you have some reference which you feel may have some bearing on the topic at hand or on TSCM generally, please send it to: ks@a.cs.okstate.edu okstate!ks -or- Decision Studies Group, Inc. Attention: Document Control Post Office Box 701318 Tulsa, Oklahoma 74170-1318 Followups are directed to sci.crypt, although I'd prefer you reply using electronic mail. If there's any real interest, I will summarize your responses and post them to sci.crypt. Sincerely Kurt F. Sauer Tulsa, OK
