Hi, The world is getting more deep packet inspection happy. The obvious next step is more routine use of encryption. I notice GTKG links against TLS already. Will it use encryption for all connections?
1. Is the Gnutella Network P2P encrypted yet? If not do any proposals/other clients propose ways to do so? I assume you would have to know another node would accept encryption rather than try and connect and then fall back? 2. Are the file fetches done with encryption? If not I guess this would be the easiest place to start as the there would already be information you could embed in the hit packet to say the servant accepts SSL sessions? Basically a summary of the state of encryption in the Gnutella network and if there are any proposals/specs that could be implemented for GTKG is what I'm curious about. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ The ends justify the means. -- after Matthew Prior ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
