Thus said ted@nmsu.edu (Ted Dunning): >perhaps a more interesting (in the sense of puzzle solving) problem is >how to extend pgp so that you can send a message that ALL of a group >have to agree to read. of course, it isn't that much harder than the >previous puzzle, but it is fun. An interesting generalization of the above is how to cryptographically create a situation whereby any m people in a group of n (of course, the problem is only hard when n > m > 1) must cooperate to read a message. I seem to recall having heard that it's possible, but I don't remember the details. -- Marc VanHeyningen mvanheyn@whale.cs.indiana.edu MIME & RIPEM accepted The number of millionares in the U.S. has increased fourteen fold since 1980.
