Re: [Taler] latest draft on the Taler cryptography [re-re-send]

[Fabian Kirsch]

In Ch 4:

In order to enhance readability:

Variables (Keys, Numbers, ..) should be visibly different than
Functions ( Encrypt, Decrypt, Sign, Blind, Unblind, Hash, DH-Keygen, ..)
It would be nice to the reader, to list all your functions in one place.

Don't write E_x(..) for encryption with key x and blinding with blinding 
factor x.
One Function, one Symbol.

Currently you require Taler to use Elliptic Curves.
Does the crypto concept really enforce this,
or is it just a detail from the current implementation?
Afaiu its just a detail.

 Fabian
