I don't really understand the use for "can't be opened until
Christmas" tricks. If you don't want anyone to see your info until
Christmas then just don't give them a copy until then! If you want
to prove that you have it but not let them see it until later then
do timestamping of hashes, zero-knowledge proofs and so forth.
Can anyone explain what use this theoretical "time-sensitive" crypto
box would be good for?
Regards,
Bryce
