Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

Bertolotti appreciated receiving the points. He commented that he would pass the information to the appropriate French operational and technical agencies, and would provide formal response to EST officer following completion of investigations.
