A few years back I prepared a presentation on the so-called
Socialist Millionaires' Protocol (SMP) for a university seminar.
SMP is a solution to the problem of key authentication
devised for
OTR (Off-the-Record),
the system for instant-messaging encryption.
Today I held a short version of the presentation
for non-mathematicians at the
CCC Hamburg.
For the benefit of the Internet,
the awesomely hand-made
slides
are in English.
There is also a handy
hand-out
with a protocol diagram.
The
written presentation for the course
is
completely in German and math-rich.
I did try hard to make it a clear read for the so-inclined.
Have fun! :)
