FWEE!: kiosks

The whistleblower creates his file in the privacy of his own home on a floppy disk, encrypts it in the public key of the whistleblowing system, and carries it to a public kiosk where he sends it.

This is the ideal scenario. I suspect that kiosks for other purposes will eventually contain some form of user-available I/O. I'm guessing it will be infrared, maybe rs232 serial. Diskette drives are too vulnerable and expensive to be feasible in a pay phone environment; they're called armor phones, and for good reason. In particular, sfnet doesn't have diskette access. No bother, we're not going to create the best system on the first revision. A good enough system will drive later systems. Eric
