I sort of answered your question at RSA(*) in that I do conclude, as you guessed, that in our context as it is, "[W]e are becoming a society of informants. In short, I have nowhere to hide from you." (The part of your note that I elided was very interesting and I will read the references you included.) --dan (*) http://geer.tinho.net/geer.rsa.28ii14.txt _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
