I'd be curious to know if anyone has studied physiological responses to situations from a socio-security standpoint(you have to send me a dime everytime you use that phrase.) I'm wondering if changes to a person's comfort is cheaply measurable, or if it could be cheaply measurable in the future. I'm taking granted the easy stuff like heart rate, but muscle tension, change in gait in response to muscle tension in certain groups, etc. It wouldn't cover all security dimensions-I'm comfortable talking about different things to different friends, based on past shared experience but I think it would get a good chunk of it. Quick search on Google scholar gave up this: R. W. Picard, J. Healey, Affective wearables, Personal Technologies, Volume 1, Issue 4, Dec 1997, Pages 231 - 240, DOI 10.1007/BF01682026, URL http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01682026 The abstract under the link pretty much talks about measuring stress through a wearable. Unfortunately, it's not public access-maybe CMU subscribes to the journal.. This is by the same people on the same subject, not sure if it's the full text from the journal: http://vismod.media.mit.edu/tech-reports/TR-467/TR-467.html Sorry, started writing this comment after reading your 07.10.06 post-this topic seemed more oriented to personal security..

I should be able to respond to individual requestors with unique answers that only they can parse. Key exchange could be as simple as tapping my ring against a contact pad when I enter a club or business to get the list of public keys for everyone on shift or the local store. I'm not doing commercial banking transactions with these keys, just sending semi-personal information that I'd prefer not be snooped. I don't expect DJs (or other businesses) to immediately pander to an individual's tastes -- a DJ could just as easily decide to play something new because it's not on any lists and they think people might like it or play something in response to trend analysis. My sole experience here is as a radio DJ, but I would sometimes decide to play things that weren't requested in response to what people were requesting. "We're getting a lot of requests for bands X, Y and Z, here's a new band that I think fans of X, Y and Z will like."

There will then be a market, among the nosey, of collecting all such subculture-specific private keys to properly pigeonhole passersby. I'm nosey, so I'd sure download that torrent of keys. Also, do you really want the DG DJs to pander to your existing tastes? I want to hear music I don't already know (though, obviously, I don't go to DG for that.) I think that their responding to RFID playlists gives us <i>even more</i> plays of "Dead Stars" and "Anonymous VNVish Song" than before. Some of those song-guessing-radio-station web sites are kinda cool, but I don't think they'd work so well if they were trying to solve that problem for more than one listener simultaniously.
