Excerpts from mail: 10-Oct-96 What are the flaws with FV .. Kip DeGraaf@monroe.lib.m (1410*)
I only received this an hour ago. I would very much like to attend, but can't put my fingers on the detailed analysis of FV's flaws in their system, which I would like to bring up in person at this seminar.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?
I'm very sorry that you apparently didn't show up to discuss your concerns; I thought the talk went quite well, with some good give and take, but nobody really tried hard to tear apart FV's system. Believe it or not, that was a disappointment to me. I always enjoy an open debate with a spirited opponent. FYI, the content of the talk was largely the same as the content of my paper that appeared in the June issue of Communications of the ACM, in the special issue on electronic commerce. Readers of this list will be particularly interested in the section entitled "Cryptography: Myths and Realities". -------- Nathaniel Borenstein <nsb@fv.com> | FAQ & PGP key: Chief Scientist, First Virtual Holdings | nsb+faq@nsb.fv.com
