Cypherpunks, like a lot of lists, has several servers/feeders. IS IT POSSIBLE to cryptographically "split" posts between the servers so that only when the post appears is it legible? Is this useful? Seems to open up some slightly different avenues of anonymity (ie, such a list can be by default anonymous).
Seems like you could do this with a slightly tweaked mixmaster-style remailer chain that allows a message to specify branching. in -> (mix steps) -> out1 + out2 + out3 Or even better, have out1, out2, and out3 diverge and run through their own mix chains with randomly-selected lengths to make it harder to correlate pieces of a message. Then you just need some up-front processing and the reverse on the client end to combine out{1,2,3} into an intelligible message. Perhaps something where each (n-1) messages can be used to produce a decryption key for the nth? Don't see why you'd do it, but it does seem nifty. -- Riad S. Wahby rsw@jfet.org
