-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Michael,
> Length is not nearly as important as bookmarkability. You mentioned > that you are going to be changing stuff every day. That worries me. My bad. No worry, this is just a misunderstanding. What I should have written is that a service's onion address (what clients bookmark or type into their browsers) stays the same all the time. What changes are the descriptor identifiers which are created from the service id and the secret cookie. This allows for storing descriptors on changing nodes all the time, which is a novel security feature that becomes possible from incorporating the secret cookie. It prevents persons from tracking a service's activity or usage pattern. I only mentioned it to stress that the attack of generating a key pair with the same id as an honest service would be limited to one day. Such an attack would become more likely the fewer bits the service id has. But the changing descriptor ids have no impact on the usage by hidden service providers or clients. - --Karsten -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGYFh20M+WPffBEmURAhyaAKDU+qHjsTVn1LNsDIsyBP05kXGkrwCeM3yT v8ziwd3VBWtIyv7AEyW1W9A= =Li4l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
