USB pen drives and safe cryptosystems (looking for references)

Joe, I studied several things, and I work in several fields. René
Descartes explaned that nobody can really master just one thing, and to
learn about many helps to know more and better about every one of them.
Moreover, I am also a magician (seriously), and I would like to perform
nice mentalism tricks with USB Pen drives because I have some funny
ideas about how to make ilusionism with state of the art technologies
as you can see at http://www.cita.es/telemagic

I explaned cryptography invited byt the Army and the Diplomacy in China
(1994), also in Argentina 1995, and in Honk Kong as you can read at
http://www.cita.es/HK and shortly at http://www.cita.es/branding for
"object oriented cryptography" home made in Spain.

I translated to Spanish PGP 1.0 and 2.0 (you can ask to Phil Zimmerman
about me).

But you are right in 1 thin. I still have many things to learn in
Cryptology (that is why I am reading and asking over here). If you can
read Spanish, I suggest http://www.cita.es/secreto
http://www.cita.es/escuchas and http://www.cita.es/descifrar for
instance. I shall appreciate any comment or reference that let me to
improve my knowledge on "USB pendrive applied Cryptology" (By the way,
I think that Bruce Schneier must have new ideas about it).

Umm, yeah, this once again shows how little you know, that page is entirely
about gem stones, which has nothing to do with cryptography.

At this point you seem to be extremely confused about the difference between
physical security measures and information security measures. They are
extremely different areas, and by claiming it is cryptographic very quickly
proves that you do not even grasp the most basic concepts.

Anyone who is capable of speaking both languages can translate a program, it
shows nothing in terms of understanding.

On that front I would gladly have supplied things, but the bottom line is
that you claimed to be a consultant, but you have demonstrated a complete
lack of knowledge or even the ability to grasp the core concepts.

I have translated programs myself and I havent got a clue about computers
but I know how OpenOffice.org works.

I haven't got a clue as I said but I can comment about your webpage
http://www.cita.es
which looks horrible viewed with Opera9.01 browser you really need to
redesign it if you
expect to look like a serious company.

Your other page: http:/www.cita.es/descifrar/ says:
"La "ESPIOLOGÍA" o estudio del espionaje es una ciencia empírica y
multidisciplinar"

Spanish is my native language and never in my life heard of the term
"espiologia" but
then I admit I am not too educated so I searched in
http://en.wikipedia.org and not a single
mention. I do not have the time to read all of course, but at first glance
for an average
persorn without knowledge of computers the website looks written in
Chinese very hard to navigate
and far too much to reading.

Ok, it is a negative review, sorry about that, but it is better than lying
to you I hope.

I agree. The home page is absolutely terrible (

Miguel, get a professional web designer to redesign your site. There is
no way that your current site will attract professonal clients. They'll
take one look at your home page - and never come back.

Hi all. I'm new on this group so i want to introduce myself. My name is
Gustavo, and I'm also a native spanish speaker, but I can communicate
in english just fine.

It's true that Miguel's page looks bad and maybe he isn't an encryption
expert, technically speaking; but sometimes (just sometimes) there are
things more important than that, like knowing what, when and how to
encrypt.

Speaking of cryptosystems on usb pen:
I think the problem is, if you use any encryption program (I recommend
truecrypt, allows many encryption algorythms fast and easy) in windows,
the on-the-fly un-encrypted files (and maybe your password too if you
configure it wrong) stays on memory, temp and page files (maybe other
files too, but i'm not sure about that). So you would need another
program to securely delete/defrag this files.

If everything else goes wrong and you really need to keep things
confidential, just degauss your hd after you use the pen drive (I'm
kidding, don't do that, Miguel).

Hope you keep researching on cryptosystems.

Gustavo.

No, I think it does exactly what he wants. It is cleary a scam outfit. He
has pages of text in one point type designed to get himself onto web
crawler's pages. anyone who is so incompetent and duplicitous should not be
taken seriously.

That this is not a mistake, here is code from the page source.

I don't know about the cryptography claims, and his page looks OK in
my old Netscape 4.08 browser, but also being a native Spanish speaker
(Latin-America) I would agree with this comment. From reading the page
I would say that someone that makes so many claims of studies,
diplomas and a succesful career (all documented in his own pages),
while at the same time works so hard to advertise himself looks
suspicious, to say the least.

When attempting to sell services as a cryptography expert, especially to a
court of law, it has little to do with anything except being a cryptography
expert.

LOL, I just visited again the webpage of cita.es and saw this on the
frontpage:

"Nota: A veces, los mensajes se pierden, muy a nuestro pesar (recibimos
varios miles cada semana, y es francamente difícil diferenciarlos del SPAM
que nos invade). Si no se recibe respuesta, por favor llámenos por
teléfono (hay contestador en el Tel.: 914743809)"


It basically says: "Note:Sometimes we lose the emails you send to us
because we receive thousands of them everyweek and we can not
differenciate them from SPAM. If we do not reply please call us on phone
number: 914*****

He maybe a cryptographic expert but it seems he hasnt got a clue about how
to stop SPAM, go and tell the judge in that important fraud case that the
emails from the prosecution got lost because you couldn't differenciate
them from SPAM.

I shall be pleased to explain as much as I can the basic idea of
"object oriented cryptography" applied to very expensive objects like
gemstones shortly explained at http://www.cita.es/branding

Anyhow, I appreciate your time and effort visiting anything at
www.cita.es

I do not know how to prove that anybody does not know anything. I can
confirm and evidence whatever is known by whoever, and to prove
whatever whoever does not know is a diabolical proof of negative facts.
I respect the bad opinion of anybody about me, my thoughts, my words,
or my website pages, but I disagree with any supposed proof of anything
that I do not know, because I have the hope to learn.

OK. At least I am an old translator of an old cryptosystem. But I am
here to learn new things.

OK. I am a very bad consultant for you, and you think that I have
demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge on everything.

Now I know that you want to look like an expert just devaluating me.

Can you give me 3 names of good cryptologists and 3 books useful for
USB pen drives protection?
