If I was a victim of the mixup of security and authenticity about this, I'm certainly not the only one, as evidenced by the correspondence I received. Have you any references to where the proper distinction between authenticity and secrecy is made? I would have asked you by mail, except your return path did not get to me. Is there any possibility of truth to my suspicion that the less severe constraints on the "authenticity" transformations might make it easier to find reliable ones?
