Okay, I don't get this. The only information available[1] in a freenet
conversation is timing and size information. You'd have to be pretty
good to fingerprint a freenet conversation with that...

If you want improved security, we can add padding systems to thwart the
timing- and size-based detection. Putting SSH or SSL on things will NOT
help matters.

[1]Freenet protocol as 3rd party sees it:

C->S <16 bytes of random data>      S->C <16 bytes of random data>
C->S <130 bytes of encrypted data>  S->C <130 bytes of encrypted data>

The rest is freenet messages + data (encrypted, of course).
