Maybe there's a book on "Privacy" out there that gives reasonably up-to-date coverage of crypto. I would love a book that covered all the sociopolitical cypherpunk issues like reputations and anonymity; agorics and pay-per-use; copyright, left and not; Chaum's distinction between Identification and Authentication; traceable vs. non-traceable emoney; smart cards and wallets; history of privacy invasion; history of public-key crypto and non-government cryptology; accelleration of technology that can be used for spying; the sorry present state of cellular phone privacy, Qualcomm's initiative; "digital license plates" as likely implied in various government proposals; etc. Has anyone read the Michael Marotta book? -fnerd quote me - - cryptocosmology- sufficiently advanced communication is indistinguishable from noise - god is in the least significant bits -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a aKxB8nktcBAeQHabQP/d7yhWgpGZBIoIqII8cY9nG55HYHgvt3niQCVAgUBLMs3K ui6XaCZmKH68fOWYYySKAzPkXyfYKnOlzsIjp2tPEot1Q5A3/n54PBKrUDN9tHVz 3Ch466q9EKUuDulTU6OLsilzmRvQJn0EJhzd4pht6hSnC1R3seYNhUYhoJViCcCG sRjLQs4iVVM= =9wqs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
