These are known as zero-knowlege systems and they were written up in Communications of the ACM a few years back. If people are interested, they should write me and I'll get a citation. Anyone who's got the citation easily available is invited to post. Also, anyone out there have an article on zero-knowlege systems they'd care to post? Tim?
