I didn’t really expect it to work; I just wanted to try this because Wei Dai said that it might teach me something. I fully realized that my surprise at its failure was not a rational emotion, I just felt that it was important to acknowledge this surprise in order to help my emotions better reflect my rational thought in the future. That article was interesting though (the memo, not the attack; I haven’t read that yet).
That’s fine :-) it’s just that having spotted an attack and dashed off a comment, I get nervous that someone will draw the wrong inference if I don’t cryptanalyze a proposal. Thanks for setting my mind at rest!
