Encryption is useless here. We want everyone to be able to download Bitcoin clients. Binaries on sourceforge are signed by multiple parties using gitian. > Decentralization: > So long as we actually use DNS, the website is centralized :( However, > its content isn't (can be forked on GitHub), but regarding the domain > name, there is not much we can do against this AFAIK. So long as someone has root (or a user that can modify it), the website is centralised. To really solve this, we would need a dedicated server that accepts commands only when signed by N-of-M parties, inside a cage locked by padlocks with keys held by independent parties, with a SSL certificate issued by an authority that has multiple parties watch it every step of the way into that server.
