Excellent, thank you! I'm basically interested in anything we can come
up with :-)

I have posted an implemented here:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cryptography.viff.patches/7

It seems to work in the limited testing I have done... The runtime
does multiplication and addition, so the comparison protocol(s) might
even work, but I haven't tested this yet.

Great, I'm looking forward to it! :-)

You're right! I first wrote code that used the Paillier code Mikkel
had written -- then I realized the problem with the players doing
computations in different fields. That was when I switched to ElGamal,
only to then realize that it was insecure...
