Swiss base

Revision as of 13:02, 4 February 2008 by Kevin Reid (Talk)
A Swiss base is the unguessable number which hashes to the Swiss number of some object. It constitutes the authority to claim to be a particular object (as seen by other vats).
That is, the IdentityMgr requires the Swiss base in order to make a registration, so that merely knowing the Swiss number of an object in the local vat is not sufficient to claim to be that object.
