I would have loved to have chatted about this. I did a specification for this about this time last year. While considered over-engineered by some, I think it's provably secure. http://oracle.bridgeway.net.au/~davyd/misc/gnome-voting/ A number of the original drawbacks I had identified can now be resolved. There are nowadays existing IP anonymising services, and the other problems should be easily solved. Just another proposal thrown to the wind. I see this implemented as a stand alone application, after all... this is GNOME! --d -- Davyd Madeley http://www.davyd.id.au/ PGP Fingerprint <http://www.davyd.id.au/pgp/> 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
