Depends upon how much you trust your clients.  If you don't, I can't
imagine how you can make it work securily easily (or at all).  While
I have heard of client-based proposals based on voting
schemes.. etc., they feel hard and not fool-proof.  Would like to
hear if anyone can cite a good survey paper along these lines.
