To address privacy with for example Brands digital credentials, the underlying cryptography may be harder to understand, or at least less familiar, but I don't think using a toolkit based on Brands digital credentials would be significantly harder than using an identity or attribute based PKI toolkit. Similar for Chaum's credentials or other approach.
Sure, but how many pages would it take in the spec to describe the protocol? Especially given their turgid technical-writer prose? Brands took a whole book to describe his credentials thoroughly.
In any case, I agree that something like this would be an excellent enhancement to the technology. IMO it is very much in the spirit of TCPA. I suspect they would be very open to this suggestion.
Though routinely professing otherwise, evidently Anonymous knows nothing of the spirit of the TCPA: I proposed the use of blinding schemes to the TCPA as far back as 2 years ago as a substitute to the Privacy CAs schemes which are subject to potential collusion. I believe "unreceptive", rather than "very much open to this suggestion" would more accurately describe the TCPA's spirit Anonymous holds so high. --Lucky Green --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@wasabisystems.com
