I haven't been following this in any particular detail - I have no intent of using the system! - but this is certainly an issue they have thought of and planned for; they currently describe the system as "robust to cut-and-pase, delete-and-reinsert, and most type of attacks..." I suspect the papers linked at the bottom here - http://wikitrust.soe.ucsc.edu/index.php/Main_Page - go into a bit more detail about the algorithm. -- - Andrew Gray [email protected] _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
