Allow me to recommend the use of a trivial encryption algorithm to protect exploits and advisories such that any for-profit company must circumvent it in order to use it for their own purposes. Perhaps distribute advisories with the "do not copy" flag set on a .pdf. This would give DMCA protection to the copyright and allow researchers to sue if their "protection measures" are circumvented by companies looking to make money off of the research.
That sounds good in theory, but in practice any sizable company would devour us, regardless of what the law says. The law is immaterial next to money. - -- Mark Earnest ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Senior Systems Programmer ASET/Emerging Technologies Penn State University Email: mxe20 () psu edu Office Phone: 814-863-2064 Public Key - http://mearnest.oas.psu.edu/gpgkey.txt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQE9Nzn2XIT9wt3I2GMRAkfLAKCk+7MZSbTBqL405BLf8DH1z57BQACeOXWH JlJ+OmrHRuQz1KN84jiF0fE= =LjdH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
