That may well be, but no claim was made that off-line communication is as efficient as on-line for introducing and certifying strangers to one another. It was only claimed that players who have to remain geographically hidden would lose their protection if deprived of off-line communication. This is because in the on-line, low-latency case, an attacker can locate the end-points through traffic analysis. Only off-line does the option exist of untraceable traffic mixing such as remailer chains. This subject is on-topic here because cryptography is an indispensable ingredient of these untraceable traffic mixes. -- StealthMonger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- stealthmail: Scripts to hide whether you're doing email, or when, or with whom. http://stealthsuite.afflictions.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
