How effective is open source crypto? (addenda)

[Anne & Lynn Wheeler]

... small side-note .... part of the x9.59 work for all payments in all 
environments .... was that the transaction system needed to be resilient to 
repeats and be done in a single round-trip (as opposed to the transport).

there needed to be transaction resiliency with respect to single round trip 
with something like email that might not happen in strictly real-time 
(extremely long round-trip delays).

Real-world systems have been known to have glitches ... order/transaction 
generation that accidentally repeats (regardless of whether or not 
transport is catching replay attacks).
