Hmm. Looks like I forgot to announce this everywhere I should've done.
The project is a demonstration of a DH variant on Chaum's blinded coins
due to David Wagner. This variant is widely believed to circumvent
Chaum's patents.
It is based on OpenSSL, and can be found by anonymous CVS, following the
iBLab instructions at http://anoncvs.aldigital.co.uk/iBLab/, but using
the repository anoncvs.aldigital.co.uk-lucre.
Cheers,
