RE: [Asrg] 'GIEIS'

Thankyou for your comments.  My comments are in the body of the message 
below.  This post refers to the 'GIEIS' system cueently at version 0.002.  
An update to version 0.003 will be carried out in the next few days.  
'GIEIS' has an extensive list of systems to be added and they will appear as 
soon as the documentation can be written.

The 'GIEIS' system can be viewed here at:

Mark's Response:

'GIEIS' would not be involved in excessive port scanning.  Also, 'GIEIS' 
role one be one of protection not agression which no court would rule 
against.  A further consideration, is the fact that a country can only make 
laws for that which falls within its territorial claim.  Therefore, they 
cannot prosecute scans coming not coming from within their country.

Mark's Response:

The document assumes a knowlege in broad networking skills.  In short, the 
system secures email transmission by independently confirming sender and 
recipient.  It eliminates completely the abitily to setup an email server 
and begin sending spam across the internet by changing how email is 
transmitted across the Internet.  Any such attempt at sending spam from 
'non-GIEIS registered' accounts would result in the destruction of all 
emails sent to those protected by 'GIEIS'.

'GIEIS' then has technical features to enable to limit any form of spam from 
'GIEIS Compliant' accounts.  'GIEIS' would remove 98%-99& of all spam and 
virus' on the Internet.  The rest would fade due to the difficulty of 
tranmission.  'GIEIS' also removes 'bot spam' from Instant messengers.

Mark's Response:

I am also outlining processes and methods that puts it in a slightly 
different legal catagory.
