I'm reading the paper that was announced on this list about Digital Cash last
week. It was writen by Stefan Brands. I think I have a strong Math background,
but I don't know what is meant by a "descrete log" in a group G. I understand
what a group is. I just don't know what properties an element, a, would have
if it were the log sub p of e. Can someone help me. Otherwise, this is a
very interesting article. Thanx in advance.
