I'm reading the paper that was announced on this list about Digital Cash last week. It was writen by Stefan Brands. I think I have a strong Math background, but I don't know what is meant by a "descrete log" in a group G. I understand what a group is. I just don't know what properties an element, a, would have if it were the log sub p of e. Can someone help me. Otherwise, this is a very interesting article.
