Emne: Re: [unSYSTEM] Stealth Bitcoin Addresses
Ah this has all just clicked with me, using Diffie-Hellman to create a
shared secret then using that to encrypt the nonce.

This could also be used for generating a temporary/disposable aes key for
encrypting messages between people.

satoshi mentioned that storing data in the blockchain or anywhere publicly
might be a bad idea as if you had your private key compromised then all the
data would be revealed.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25.msg159#msg159 (post 10)

Doing private messages/etc over twister or another distributed platform
this is probably a good way to do it securely without having your key
attached to every message that is sent.

Thanks
Bob
