THE ALBUQUERQUE FBI HOME PAGE

Payne saw albuquerque@fbi.gov show up in his address book. But didn't see any email from the abq fbi.

ABQ FBI agents have visited payne twice in apparent attempt to threaten payne.

ABQ FBI [fumble, bumble and inept according to the APD officers] agent Kohl showed up on both occasions.

Gorence is former son-in-law of New Mexico senator Pete Dominici.

The NSA lawsuit, back again tonight, was partially filed as a result of Gorence's above letter.

Let's hope FBI agent Peggy Russell is working on how to get out of these messes.

Payne's original gripe started with the FBI classifying information without going through Sandia classification procedures ... when payne was involved in breaking electronic locks for the FBI.

Payne's FBI ERF contact was FBI/SSA [special supervisory agent] Mike Uttaro.

FBI employee Mike McDevitt was FBI/SSA Mike Uttaro's supervisor.

Payne was once in McDevitt's office at FBI/ERF [engineering research facilty] in Quantico, VA.

American flag on the stand, etc.

McDevitt's office looked like a scene out of a Harrison Ford Jack Ryan movie.

First time and only time payne met McDevitt was in the spook shop at Sandia labs.

McDevitt's eyes had a glazed-over look ... like he was on drugs.

It's not how you get into these things that's important. It's how you get out of them that counts.
John Sobolewski

Mike Uttaro continued to tell Payne that if crypto were to get into the hands of the public it would be terrible.

Mike Uttaro didn't know squat about crypto.

This is one reason Payne wrote the Black and White Test of Cryptographic Algorithms - to show what an idiot Mike Uttaro is. And NIST employees too.

We'll retrieve more which was posted about the FBI and Sandia labs.

Found offending information.

The FBI thought that the below infomation was SECRET Compartmented Information.

Try classification abuse.

Counterfeiting Wiegand Wire Access Credentials

Bill Payne

October 16,1996

Abstract

Wiegand wire access credentials are easy and inexpensive to counterfeit.

Access Control & Security Systems Integration magazine, October 1996 [http://www/securitysolutions.com] published the article,

Wiegand technology stands the test of time

by PAUL J. BODELL, page 12

Many card and reader manufacturers offer Wiegand (pronounced wee-gand) output. However, only three companies in the world make Wiegand readers. Sensor Engineering of Hamden Conn., holds the patent for Wiegand, and Sensor has licensed Cardkey of Simi Valley, Calif., and Doduco of Pforzheim, Germany, to manufacture Wiegand cards and readers. ... A Wiegand output reader is not the same thing as a Wiegand reader, and it is important to understand the differences.

In brief, Wiegand reader use the Wiegand effect to translate card information around the patented Wiegand effect in which a segment of a specially treated wire generates an electronic pulse when subjected to a specific magnetic field. If the pulse is generated when the wire is near a pick-up coil, the pulse can be detected by a circuit. Lining up several rows of wires and passing them by a cold would generate a series of pulses. Lining up two rows of wires - calling on row "zero bits" and the other "one bits" - and passing them by two different coils would generate two series of pulses, or data bits. These data bits can then be interpreted as binary data and used to control other devices. If you seal the coils in a rugged housing with properly placed magnets, and LED and some simple circuitry, you have a Wiegand reader. Carefully laminate the special wires in vinyl, and artwork, and hot-stamp a number on the vinyl, and you have a Wiegand card.

IN THE BEGINNING

Wiegand was first to introduce to the access control market in the late 1970s. It was immediately successful because it filled the need for durable, secure card and reader technology. Embedded in the cards, Wiegand wires cannot be altered or duplicated. ...

Bodell's Last statement is incorrect.

Tasks for EASILY counterfeiting Wiegand wire cards are

1 Locate the wires inside the card to read the 0s and 1s.

2 Build an ACCEPTABLE copy of the card.

Bodell's clear explanation of the working of a Wiegand card can be visualized

Solutions to Task 1

A X-ray the card

B MAGNI VIEW FILM, Mylar film reads magnetic fields ... Edmunds Scientific Company, catalog 16N1, page 205, C33,447 $11.75

is placed over the top of the Wiegand card.

COW MAGNET, Cow magnetics allow farmers to trap metal in the stomachs of their cows. Edmunds, page 204, C31,101 $10.75 is placed under the card.

Location of the wires is easily seen on the green film.

Mark the position of the wires with a pen.

Next chop the card vertically using a shear into about 80/1000s paper-match-sized strips.

Don't worry about cutting a wire or two.

Note that a 0 has the pen mark to the top. A 1 has the pen mark at the bottom.

Take a business card and layout the "paper match"-like strips to counterfeit the card number desired.

Don't worry about spacing. Wiegand output is self-clocking!

Tape the "paper-match - like" strips to the business card.

Only the FUNCTION of the card needs to be reproduced!

Settle! Settle! Settle! Settle! Settle! Settle!

Repetition is a principle of learning. And we have some very slow learners on the other side.


Matters are sure to get far worse!

Surely our days are numbered. We are losing our niche. Digital Man [us senior techies continue to deny that we are having too much fun] is faster, stronger...and smarter. And now, with the Internet at his side, he gets smarter everyday...the little 0s and 1s of the digital information stream are pumped into his arteries as though he were wired to a Cray mainframe. ...

Payne taught a course on Cray assembly language programming [CAL] for Sandia labs.

And now our time has come. Now a new race can communicate better than we can. Using optic fiber, wireless technology and Moore's law....Homo Digitalis has the high ground.
