PFS only refers to secrecy (or confidentiality) of messages; the notion of forward security naturally extends to encompass message integrity and non-repudiation. in the case of logs, presumably data integrity is most critical, since we are worried about after-the-fact tampering of the log data. yes, distributed forward secure logging can be a little tricky; it'd be nice to do the non-distributed case first, as a "baby step", prior to tackling the distributed case. -bsy -------- Bennet S.
