Eric Hughes sez:
Since distribution and storage of keying material is an as-yet pragmatically unsolved problem, it is unwise to insist upon prearranged keys when a partial solution, D-H, is available immediately.
I (and some others with credentials) think I have solved it. I wish I could be more specific and will be as soon as I can with the idea under some form of protection. As soon as I file, cypherpunks will be the first to get the details. I am not no much trying to be a tease as to tease out any possible solutions to this that I may not be aware of. sci.crypt is not the place for unsubstantiated claims and I hope for a bit more tolerance here. We are on the same side, I just wish to profit from it so I can bankroll a few backlogged ideas. Bootstraping is a bitch. :-) Peace, Bob -- Bob Cain rcain@netcom.com 408-354-8021 "I used to be different.
