[cap-talk] Any hope in RSA 2008?

[John Carlson]

My comment would be is  I don't know what research there is currently,
so I "complain" to figure out if someone already has an answer.
In some cases, I don't see ways of downloading research papers (maybe
I'm missing something on the ACM and IEEE sites).  Or it's hard to tell
the search engine exactly what I am searching for, or I'm not patient
enough to wade through search results (it's a lot easier to read email
than an academic paper).

This is cap-*talk*.  Perhaps there should be a cap-research list and
a cap-complainer list.  Oh, and a cap-metacomplainer list.

I agree that I could be more of the solution and less of the problem.
That's why I have taken the approach that I could be a tester of such
systems, such as E/CapDesk and Waterken.  I have tried to test
EMonkey, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet.  Maybe I could
test Joe-E too?  Where is the download site?
