True, I think! Is there a practical application for this? ( I can think of one trivial example: "a message system is psuedonymous, but I want to send an anonymous message!" ) I'm asking myself whether "anonymous DH" is confusingly named. Perhaps it should be called psuedonymous DH because it creates psuedonyms for the life of the session? Or, we need a name that describes the creation of psuedonyms, de novo, from an anonymous starting position? iang --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
