-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Can there be a cryptographic "dead man switch"? A secret is to be revealed only if/when signed messages stop appearing. It is to be cryptographically strong and not rely on a trusted other party. The motivating application is a Living Trust wherein the Grantor wants to keep secret, even from the Trustee, the locations of his caches of gold until such time as he is no longer able to send signed messages. Each signed message has to somehow avert revelation of the secret for another time period (three months, say). - -- -- StealthMonger <stealthmon...@nym.mixmin.net> Long, random latency is part of the price of Internet anonymity. anonget: Is this anonymous browsing, or what? http://groups.google.ws/group/alt.privacy.anon-server/msg/073f34abb668df33?dmode=source&output=gplain stealthmail: Hide whether you're doing email, or when, or with whom. mailto:stealthsu...@nym.mixmin.net?subject=send%20index.html Key: mailto:stealthsu...@nym.mixmin.net?subject=send%20stealthmonger-key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.9 <http://mailcrypt.sourceforge.net/> iEYEARECAAYFAlBF1ecACgkQDkU5rhlDCl5omQCgpcuTWhFuojJkkgUOLeZwnYIf TlwAnAhrxdyeLMccamIAZ8CbLZKn2jyb =MaVJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
