Sounds like you are describing something which is a variant of an interlock protocol. The idea of an interlock protocol is that you send out first a hash of what you are intending to publish.
The MITM has a problem in deciding what to publish, because they have to publish _a_ hash, but they don't know what it should be of.
Exactly. I hadn't heard of the term 'interlock protocol', thanks for the tip. I'll look into it some more. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The most powerful passion in life is not love or hate, | | but the desire to edit somebody elses words. | | | | Sign in Ed Barsis' office | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
