  Dining cryptographers protocol/Rewrite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They speculate that the payer might be one of the cryptographers in the party, but then they realize that the dinner may have been paid for by the National Security Agency, their employer.
The ageing cryptographers protocol allows for every member of a group to contribute inputs to a function that can be calculated by all members of the group.
The voting cryptographers protocol is similar to the ageing cryptographers protocol.

 Dining cryptographers protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The dining cryptographers protocol is a method of anonymous communication.
The method is as follows: two or more cryptographers (nodes) arrange themselves around a circular dinner table (ring network), with menus (encrypted links) hiding the interaction of each pair of adjacent cryptographers from the rest.
Then each cryptographer announces publicly the difference between the number on his right and the number on his left, adding a message if he wants to transmit one.

 Dining Cryptographers Protocol
Dining Cryptographers Problem: Unconditional Sender and Recipient Untraceability” was published in the Journal of Cryptology.
Each cryptographer then states aloud whether the two coins he can see—the one he flipped and the one his left-hand neighbor flipped—fell on the same side or on different sides.
The protocol could also be used in conjunction with a digital cash system, like those designed by Dr. Chaum and his colleague Stefan Brands, for untraceable financial transactions, bringing what novelist Thomas Pynchon called “organic markets, carefully styled ‘fl’ by the professionals”—or perhaps even the intriguing proposals of Jim Bell—to the agora of cyberspace.

Cryptography, and its misuse, was involved in the plotting which led to the execution of Mata Hari and even more reprehensibly in the travesty which led to Dreyfus' conviction and imprisonment, both in the early 20th century.
By World War II mechanical and electromechanical cryptographic cypher machines were in wide use, although where these were impractical manual systems continued to be used.
Prior to that time, all useful modern encryption algorithms had been symmetric key algorithms, in which the same cryptographic key is used with the underlying algorithm by both the sender and the recipient who must both keep it secret.

The cryptographers would like to know whether it is one of them who is paying, or whether it is their organization that is paying; but they also wish to retain anonymity concerning the identity of the payer if it is one of them.
If a cryptographer is not paying then she will say that they agree if the results on the coins are the same, and that they disagree if the results differ; a paying cryptographer will say the opposite.
The protocol is modelled in CSP as the parallel combination of cryptographers and coins, and a master process dictating who pays, as illustrated in Figure 3.10.

Cryptographic protocols have only recently come under intensive study, and as of this time, they are not sufficiently well developed to provide a great deal of assurance.
A typical cryptographic protocol failure is encountered in the use of the RSA [Jonge85].
Cryptographic techniques are widely used to assure that intentional or accidental modification of transmitted information does not cause erroneous actions to take place.

Protocols are designed to achieve particular security properties in the presence of particular kinds and levels of threat.
Alternatively, protocols might be designed for protection against an external intruder, but might rely on the assumption that all principals are honest.
Although claims are often expressed in anthropomorphic terms, concerning the state of mind of the protocol agent, or particular beliefs of the agent, we will express protocol requirements purely in terms of relationships between these events.

The solution presented here is unconditionally or cryptographically secure, depending on whether it is based on one-time-use keys or on public keys.
Chaum describes some "dining cryptographers," which I will playfully change to "dining Extropians." (The term is of course a variant of the seminal "dining logicians problem" in computer science) Three Extropians are having dinner, perhaps in New York City.
Since the lists are essentially one-time pads, the protocol is unconditionally secure, i.e., no assumptions are made about the difficulty of factoring large numbers or any other crypto assumptions.

 totse.com | The Dining Cryptographers Problem
To see why the protocol is unconditionally secure if carried out faithfully, consider the dilemma of a cryptographer who is not the payer and wishes to find out which cryptographer is. (If NSA pays, there is no anonymity problem.) There are two cases.
In case (2) the coins he sees are different; if both other cryptographers said "different," then the payer is closest to the coin that is the same as the hidden coin; if both said "same," then the payer is closest to the coin that differs from the hidden coin.
They devise a way to do this at the table for a statement of arbitrary length: the basic protocol is repeated over and over; when one cryptographer wishes to make a message public, he merely begins inverting his statements in those rounds corresponding to 1 's in a binary coded version of his message.

 [freehaven-dev] DC-nets
first draft, \section{Dining Cryptographers as an Anonymous Channel} The Dining Cryptographers protocol was introduced by David Chaum as a means of guaranteeing untraceability for the sender and receiver of a message, even against a computationally all-powerful adversary\cite{}.
The original protocol assumes a reliable broadcast channel; the protocol consists of a series of "superimposed sendings" in which a total of $n$ participants send messages which eventually "add up" to give the final message, which seems to appear out of thin air for the final receiver.
Their protocol maintains the unconditional sender and recipient untraceability of Chaum's protocol, but removes the need for a reliable broadcast channel by implementing reliability via Byzantine Agreement.

 Dining Chairs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Toward the beginning of the 18th Century, a pattern emerged where the ladies of the house would withdraw after dinner from the dining room to the drawing room, while the gentlemen would remain in the dining room having drinks.
A typical North American dining room will contain a table with chairs arranged along the sides and ends of the table, as well as other pieces of furniture, (often used for storing formal china), as space permits.
In modern American homes, the dining room is increasingly used only for formal dining with guests or on special occasions.

Cryptographic protocols are communication protocols which are designed to provide security assurances of various kinds, using cryptographic mechanisms.
Classic assurances include confidentiality, message integrity, and more recent research includes anonymity assurances.
The term "protocol" is used in a wide sense, to include off-line arrangements such as encryption of e-mail messages.

If one of cryptographers is paying, than he says the opposite, hence the number of "disagree" will be odd.
