I know little of the theory of Dining Cryptographers but I would think that a good implementation of it would make infiltrators useless. I will leave it for other Cypherpunks to discuss the mechanics (specific and general) for actually doing this.
Dining Cryptographers nets (aka DC-nets) are the whole idea behind the type 2 anon remailers like Mixmaster, and the remailernet in general. You'll find a lot on this in the archives, the ftp site (which has Chaum's DC article and a good explanation by Tim May) and a few peoples' pages. (I think they're mostly pointed to in the pages I list) You'll find Mixmaster at <http://obscura.com/~loki/Welcome.html> Wei Dai posted some articles a few months ago about traffic analysis of such remailers. He still has one of them at <http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai> Sameer also has a two-way encrypted-command remailer. Check out <http://www.c2.org> for details. The archives are at <http://www.hks.net/cpunks/index.html> (I realize this has been posted n zillion times) Wasn't there a DC-net mailing list once upon a time? (Tim mentions it in some of his writings) Did this wither away or merge into the remailer-ops list?
