Q: What about the security of my packets? Everyone will be able to sniff them!
A: The situation in Ntk isn't much different from the current Internet:
- in the Internet, only those few who have access to the ISPs, the
routers and the backbones can sniff, alter and destroy your
traffic.
- in Netsukuku, only the nodes belonging to the temporary route, which
you are using for your connection, will be able to sniff, alter
and destroy your traffic. However consider that:
1) with the use of multipath your traffic is split among
different routes, thus each route will be able to read only
a partial part of your traffic.
2) for each connection you have a potential different route
The solution to avoid these problems are alike: use secure protocols https,
SSH, SSL, and so on.
Moreover in Netsukuku, there will be a complete cryptographic layer, see
