Mental card games without a referee

Mental card games without a referee 12/07/2003 06:05 AM
Is it possible to play card games without a deck of cards and without a referee? The question has profound implications for cryptography, in which the need to nominate and monitor a trusted third party (the referee in a cryptographic transaction) is a major pain in the ass -- this is the basis for the assertion that Trusted Computing systems will enable P2P games and distributed computation projects to proceed without cheating. This paper demonstrates some of the ways that we can dispense with a referee and rely on math to keep everyone honest.

Mental card games are played without a trusted party and without cards. It is well known that the problem of mental card games can be solved in principle. But the schemes known so far are too messy to be used in practice. Only for the mental poker game a suitable solution is known [Cr'ep 87] that achieves security against player coalition and complete confidentiality of a player's strategy. Here, we present a general-purpose scheme that may be used as basic toolbox for straight-forward implementations of card games. We present a data structure for cards and decks that is secure against player coalitions and enables standard operations like picking up a card, opening it, and (re-)mixing stacks. Futhermore, we introduce tools for special operations like inserting a card into the deck, splitting the deck, parting the game. The correctness of all operations is testified by zeroknowledge proofs.

Watch for it at a riot near you!

Watch for it at a riot near you! 06/17/2004 04:10 PM

Several companies are developing crowd control devices for the Marines and select police departments that will deliver the shock of a Tazer, but use ionized gas, or plasma, to deliver the shock over a distance without wires, through the air. And the shock can be delivered to any number of people who get in the way. Shoot a car with it and it'll shut down the electronic ignition, stopping the bad guys in their tracks.

Early versions will have a limited range — 3 meters or so — but you gotta know that the boys in the lab are working feverishly to change that.

Scary stuff for bad guys.

RNC-NYC: daily riot nrrrd roundup

RNC-NYC: daily riot nrrrd roundup 09/01/2004 01:43 PM
Xeni Jardin: News, links, and updates related to this week's Republican National Convention in New York, from geeks who read BoingBoing:

* Joshua Dickens says, "Webzine founder and filmmaker Ryan Junnell is doing this documentary installation on the RNC and managed to find his way not only into the convention center but also onto the news with this 'Girly Man for Arnold' sign. He's selling it on eBay to hopefully help fund the project and get his producer out of jail." Link

* Christian says, "CNet's Download.com lists among the 'New Releases,' a 'Re-elect George Bush Screen Saver.' Hilariously, the W-saver installs spyware. Even funnier are the negative comments submitted by CNet readers --"Since installing I've lost my job and all my private files were stolen."... "This is the worst software ever. Since installing I lost my job to India, my child owes $24,000 plus interest to pay off the national debt and my buddy who got injured in Iraq came home to no job and no benefits. I tried to call tech support and was told I was an enemy combatant for calling to complaign (sic).'" Lin k

* Tim says, "My friend Mark was arrested at the same Critical Mass rally that Joshua Kinberg got nabbed at. He wrote a real harrowing and detailed account of his experience; it is worth reading. The story actually lives on his website (Link), but that server is down now, so I've sent you the url for my mirror of it: Link."

* Anonymous says, "A look at the soon-to-be-launched (right before 9/11) Emergency Preparedness Month, in which the White House and more than 50 other agencies will spend a month reminding us that terrorists could strike at any time. This should be a nice bump for Bush leading right into the election. It examines the elements of the 'fear appeal' propaganda technique, and includes an interesting side-by-side comparison of 'Duck and Cover' propaganda from the 1950s, with an eerily similar image from FEMA's website today." Link

* Jean-Luc says, "Edouard, a French guy in NYC, photoblogged a lot about the anti-Bush march in NYC this Saturday." Link

* And following up on our earlier mention of a clever geek protest sign, reader Bing says, Here's a /BUSH shirt that predates the sign you posted (and subsequent cafepress store)." Link.
