Peter Todd invented stealth addresses.
I wouldn't say I "invented" stealth addresses; I'd say I
designed stealth addresses......
Thanks for the clarification Peter. I don't understand the math behind ECC sigs
at all, but the Coursera/Stanford Cryptography course starts again in a few days so I'm hoping that'll shed some light on the number-voodoo that makes all this possible. For anyone else who'd like to learn a bit more about crypto take a look - it's free and starts on the 5th.
