X-Original-To: cryptography@metzdowd.com X-Original-To: cryptography@metzdowd.com Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2003 14:18:56 +0530 To: cryptography@metzdowd.com From: Udhay Shankar N <udhay@pobox.com> Actually, to be fair, what he's proposing appears to be a reputation system which works with nyms - a scalable version of Advogato, perhaps? What are the list's comments? Udhay http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20031009.html I'm With Stupid: How Having Friends Might Be the Key to Both Privacy and Identity By Robert X. Cringely I've been thinking what passes at my house for deep thoughts about identity and privacy -- thoughts spurred both by my columns of the last several weeks and the reaction of readers to them. At one extreme, we have identity zealots who would plant microchips in our kids. At the other extreme, we have privacy zealots who don't want anyone anywhere to know anything about them or about what they do. Somewhere in the middle, we can probably place most of the rest of us. It is doubtful that we can fully satisfy both extremes at the same time, so the real question is what path will give us the most identity for the least loss of privacy or the most privacy with the least amount of identity? <snip> -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com)) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo@metzdowd.com
