I would recommend we give Scott the go ahead to use the DH and some symmetric crypto and do it externally to the current Freenet protocol (key negotiation is done when the connection is established, before any messages are sent). If we get a complex PK infrastructure with nodes able to authenticate themselves and such, then we would probably want the key exchange to be part of that, but I think that is a feature we can easily push for a future version of the protocol. > Local data encrpytion using the plaintext keys This is really just a matter of choosing a cipher. > A keytype mechanism to allow use of CHKs and SVKs At least we seem to be getting somewhere in that discussion this morning. > Taking size into account in the datastore (I posted a recent proposal > for this which several people made useful suggestions for) > > As soon as we have a good idea of how to go-about searching we can > implement that too, but it seems that it requires further discussion. > > Generally speaking if you have an idea for a significant change - the > procedure should be as-follows: > - Post a proposal to the list > - Take people's suggestions into account > - If, after a couple of days peer-review nobody has a major objection > email me for a go-ahead > > Please remember that while I do read most of what is posted to the > lists, I can't read everything (although I wish I had time to), so if > you need a direct response from me about something please EMAIL ME > DIRECTLY. > > All the best, > > Ian. > > _______________________________________________ > Freenet-dev mailing list > Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net > http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev -- Oskar Sandberg md98-osa at nada.kth.se #!/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
