No... we are specifically talking about developing decentralized solutions here, so that that centralized lookup authority context and risk goes away. Yes... a low latency non-fixed-length non-chaffed network will still have some characteristic risks... timing, etc. Yet likely nowhere near the order of the above centralized issues. > But it does not have to allow mass interception (the original skype did not > allow mass interception), and it does not have to allow undetectable > interception, which the original skype did allow. That is just designing good applied crypto in the former, which nullifies the latter. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
