This is such a joke.In 2000, at the rump session of the International Conference on Financial Cryptography (FC00 to its friends), Paul Harrison and I got up after a few
beers and had a Letterman-esque "Break this Mickey Mouse Projector Protocol" contest about an encrypted-to-the-projector movie-distributionscheme proffered by a, heh, entertainment conglomerate, earlier that year. The protocol was this belt-and-suspenders monstrosity, encrypted seven ways to Sunday, practically collapsing into a singularity of its utter "provably
secure" canonicity.The winner, of course, was a simple question: "And, *where*, exactly, do we
put the CCD?".Meaning that if *any* part of the scheme involves photons going through the air to someone's eyes, you can replace the eyeballs with a camera, and ...
heh ... Walt's your uncle.
