-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Excellent discussion on the subject, actually. However, your idea of the "first person to the bank" maintaining anonymity via remailer block is flawed. First of all, if a collusion with the bank is being taken into account, presumably sufficient enough resources are involved that someone may try and track the reply block. Mixmaster (as your messages mentioned by name) would be necessary to eliminate the chance of tracking the block through combinations of replay attacks etc. (Which reminds me, has anyone implemented an Expiration date on Type I remailers yet?? I remember someone telling me it was being put into the RFC) However, mix does not have a reply block system. Nor are there any Type I -> Mix gateways, for reasons mentioned months ago. (PS, For historical sake, I was a strong supporter of a Shamir Sharing Shell Game[tm] with the type I message. Everything during those months came out of a rant program, so I can hardly expect you to have saved them) Soooo... Anyone up for a Shamir Sharing Shell game? Of course, a drop box system would be *much* sexier. Combined with, say, an encrypted socket, or maybe MIXing a packet straight to your door. (Every client a mix site, remember? Just make yourself a mix key and give it to the drop box. I figure if the TLA has you by then, you might as well trust the drop-box operator too) ObMiscCrypto: Cypherpunk archives seem to have been down for a month, and a mailto:// didn't wake anybody up. I got a message from Bob Silverman, apparently he would not be opposed to giving his software to the C-punk key Cracking Ring, Inc. as a group on the understanding that the group lend him some factored numbers. He reports having no PGP key, so getting a PGP sig won't be happening. Perhaps someone who knows him or someone who knows about factoring software would volunteer to get the goods?
