An attack on paypal (trivia addenda)

[Anne & Lynn Wheeler]

somewhat related to the early posting in this m.l. about distributed 
computing systems conference and possible interest from security and 
cryptography sections.

when my wife and I were doing ha/cmp
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#hacmp
we were working with two people in the following meeting in ellison's 
conference room
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13

who the following year, left and joined a small client/server startup and 
were responsible for something called the commerce server (the company also 
had this thing called https/SSL). we then worked with these two people on 
the implementation for payments for the thing called the commerce server 
and well as the infrastructure regarding
trusting online merchants (as part of promoting this whole thing that came 
to be called electronic commerce):

and more recent posting in the same thread that I had also posted about 
buffer overflows and the multics study:

in any case, one of the jokes has been there are actually only 200 people 
in the industry.

in any case, back to the recent related thread on distributed system operation:
