report from Twice-Weekly LAFS Dev Chat, Thu 2014-02-30

[Zooko Wilcox-OHearn]

in attendance: Zooko, Daira

Zooko was distracted by trying to get publicity for his startup
(https://LeastAuthority.com) from this news:

Daira and Zooko tried to find a paper that they both vaguely
remembered reading, which claimed to be a more intuitive,
understandable explanation of Bleichenbacher and Maurer's scheme for
asymptotically-better hash-based one-time digital signatures. They
didn't find it, but they did find a paper by C. Dods, N.P. Smart, and
M. Stam that claimed to improve on it.
