the idea of a service that provides data unknown before a certain date (like a photo of a recent newspaper) was suggested here - http://rachelbythebay.com/w/2012/08/29/info/
for fun, i implemented that here - http://colorlessgreen.net/ (the random value is updated every 50000 secs, roughly, and encoded as a "memorable phrase") of course, in this case, a PRNG was used, and i am not NIST (so i am not guaranteeing unpredictability ot autonomy to the same extent!), and the output is only ~50 bits in size. as far as i know, no-one uses it for anything... andrew On Sat, Nov 09, 2013 at 08:28:17PM -0800, d.nix wrote: > > surely someone here has an opinion... > > http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/ct/nist_beacon.cfm > > :-) > > _______________________________________________ > cryptography mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography > _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list [email protected] http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
