K scriben: I would like to get back to serious crypto conversations now. Thank you.
You mean the quarterly circle jerk about random numbers, PKI, standards, committees, and whatever else gets routinely hashed to death? I'd consider models of hashing and signing distributed materials as a serious and necessary applied crypto conversation. Not least of why because many of the people on these lists have no idea how to actually do such things, let alone well. Being said, there are good crypto talks, code/design reviews, etc here too.
