As you might have seen on http://viff.dk/, Mikkel has committet a Bracha broadcast, great! This is currently implemented fully asymmetrically, by which I mean that only one player can give input. So for each player to broadcast a value one would write if runtime.id == 1: a = runtime.broadcast(1, "foo") b = runtime.broadcast(2) if runtime.id == 2: a = runtime.broadcast(1) b = runtime.broadcast(2, "bar") if runtime.id == 3: a = runtime.broadcast(1) b = runtime.broadcast(2) This does not match the shamir_share method, which allows you to write a, b = runtime.shamir_share([1, 2], input) where input is different for each of the two inputters. Which style do you guys prefer? I think it is clear that the style of the shamir_share method is the most convenient, but it might be too much "magic"? Having each method take 1 input and return 1 Share might be easier to understand? -- Martin Geisler _______________________________________________ viff-devel mailing list (http://viff.dk/) viff-devel@viff.dk http://lists.viff.dk/listinfo.cgi/viff-devel-viff.dk
