Now, clearly there are lots of opinions on FV's system, but if people like Sameer and Rich Salz (e.g., who have reputations as knowledgeable and aware) are going to trash FV it would mean a lot more to many readers if they could state more specifically what it is about FV that doesn't work (or that doesn't work as well as, say, SSL or CyberCash or Open Market's approaches).
I sent a description of an attack against FV based on replacing or hacking winsock to cypherpunks last night. This attack seems to meet Borenstein's criteria of being as automated and implementable on a mass scale as their keyboard snooping attack. So far I have not seen any response from FV. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
