patent free(?) anonymous credential system pre-print
by Jason Holt 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

I've submitted a pre-print of my anonymous credential system to the IACR ePrint server. Thanks to all of you who responded to the questions I posted here while working on it. I'd love to hear feedback from any and all before I sumbit it for publication; particularly, I want to make sure I haven't forgotten to give proper attribution for any previous work. http://eprint.iacr.org/2002/151/ It mentions how to use the blinding technique Ben Laurie describes in his Lucre paper, which I don't think has been mentioned in the formal literature, and also describes what I call a non-interactive cut and choose protocol which is new AFAICT. Thanks again! -J

And video cameras are present. I'm voting for simultaneous explosions (on rides?) in 2 or more DisneyUniversalAdNauseum Parks.

fuel cells on planes, why bother?
by Mark Szewczul 29 Oct '02

on AA, if you look down between the seats, on the armrest base, there is a little connector there that gives out 12V and looks remarkably like the cigarette lighter plug in your car! Use that people..and pressure your airlines to install more (First class gets the AC plug to boot), or threaten them that as you refill your fuelcel in flight, that the bumpy ride will make you spill some and people will think you are trying to start a fire.
