i'd suggest that you can assume that there is always a majority of members who can be trusted. so you need something that can follow a trusted majority, even if they include no-one who is original. fwiw, when searching for previous work, this kind of problem is often referred to as "the ship of theseus" (preserving identity of the whole when all parts are replaced) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus andrew _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
