Oops. I typed too quickly; the posted protocol specified shuffling
the entire deck to form message M3. Thus, each player draws from a
full deck. While this isn't exactly poker, I'm still willing to play
somebody. So Hal's right: the original protocol is different - it's
not broken like the one I posted :-)
The post to sci.crypt was in response to a bit commitment question.
Here, players commit by making public their hashes. Later, everyone
can verify when the messages are known.
If anyone's interested, send me a notice to elee9sf at menudo.uh.edu.
(The server for my other account is acting erratic and I'm considering
moving my subscription).
