Abstract

We continue the popular theme of offline security by considering how computer security might be applied to the challenges presented in running a secret society. We discuss membership testing problems and solutions, set in the context of security authentication protocols, and present new building blocks which could be used to generate secret society protocols more robustly and generically, including the lie channel and the compulsory arbitrary decision model.
