2. I am completely clueless

You're saying that you found a DoD address in an SSL certificate?

[patrice]

4. Or is it on a "jump drive" aka a "flash drive" nt

[blogslut]

5. ok

I guess that's weird. I dunno. As I said, I am clueless. :)

6. I don't know what kind of keychain he's talking about.

I suppose it could be somekind of network software, you know, the kind of thing you can get with some application that is designed to trace a path backwards through a network.

I think Root certificates are secure logons that let engineers into network operations. Most users are not allowed into root.

12. So it's a rather rare (?) certificate on a flash drive.

Wonder where kak found it . . . ?

[bridgit]

9. It's a Macintosh thing, it holds passwords

on a Mac, I just found this it says it's from Dod & something called PKI. There is a signature algorithym: sha1withRSAencryption (1 2 840 113549 1 1 5) It also says it's an X.509 v3 root certificate.

10. i don't think it's just Mac, seems an MS thing all those lines tippy tapped out...

codes to who knows where for sure

[patrice]

13. Yeah, it's a network device, so it can be either Mac or MS. nt

[blogslut]

15. wild, clueless guessing from me

The device maybe uses DoD security protocols?

[bridgit]

17. DoD protocols, that sounds right...

[patrice]

19. Me too, really . . .

though I used to write about network engineering for general software development business users, I'm not a programmer, so I need to sit with a thing and experiment before I know anything about it.

14. it's on my computer not a flash drive

also why didn't my previous post show up? It's a pswrd holder called Keychaim http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2847.html Ah, I've done a search & found this http://rfc-ref.org/RFC-TEXTS/2847/kw-algorithm.html & this. I'm glad at least people here had the heart to reply. Thank you.

20. Good to go now, I hope. BTW welcome Kakistocracyhater!

Re your uname, are you an Air America Listener? Lionel talks about the kakistocracy.

21. Sounds like a two-factor authentication or encryption device

Very typical in federal work. Sounds like someone is gonna be in trouble come Monday (for losing the blamed thing). The codes you found mean nothing without the user's password.
