[dc401-l] The meeting schedule is bare...

[c. chris erway]

hey dc401'ers!  i'm a long-time lurker & one-time meeting attendee ...

i'm not sure if i could actually spend more than 10 minutes talking about 
this stuff -- it's pretty obvious once you explain how MicroID works -- 
but this week i released a TR having to do with privacy risks on Digg & 
Last.fm.  i'd been sitting on it for a while until i heard back from them, 
but they've now stopped using the offending standard & the hole is closed. 
basically they were publishing these little identity tokens (SHA-1 hashes) 
on their user profile pages that enabled me to guess/crack 25% of their 
users' email addresses:

i could also give a talk about my P2P e-cash research -- i have slides 
from last year's WPES that are pretty fun.  Alice and Bob are depicted 
with Wii avatars!
