Applications of cryptography
My apologies for getting caught up in the political momentum of the Private vs. Public debate on income tax. It was too tempting... Anyway, back to wondering. I am trying to compile information about the different applications of cryptography. I would like to create something like the handbook of cryptography. Some examples that come to mind are: digital cash, DC nets, coin flipping, mental poker, digital signatures, secure communication, encrypted file systems, etc. Any help will be appreciated. If people respond to me directly, I will post a summary to the list, and maybe distribute the handbook if it is a successful project in a few months.

There's no need. Go out and buy Bruce Schneier's new crypto book whose title I forget. I has exactly the selection of articles you want and comes with source code. Cody's here in Berkeley has four copies on order; I'll bet they sell out in a week once they arrive. Bruce was offering to send people copies in exchange for a check; details were on sci.crypt. I'm sure there are interesting topics in there that you'd want covered, but there's no need to duplicate the effort of a fellow who's worked on this for a couple of years. Eric

The title is: Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C Author: Bruce Schneier Publisher: J. Willey and Sons ISBN 0-471-59756-2 I got mine on Monday :) jim
