We have been running our petname system for at least five years (probably longer), mostly without incident. The above linked page covers details of the current system; see [0] for a (slightly dated) more general discussion of the reasons behind the I2P naming system, common arguments and possible alternatives. We have also started looking at GNS as an option[1,2]. I like the concept, and the ability for users to easily control their own domain name zones, which replaces the problem of a user losing their Destination keys (.onion equivalent) down to only needing to securely maintain their zone key. But the UI/UX needs vast improvement if everyday users are to understand it, and we need to research the trade-offs carefully. I am happy to discuss this further if anyone is interested, because a combined / general approach would benefit multiple networks. str4d [0] https://geti2p.net/en/docs/discussions/naming [1] http://zzz.i2p/topics/1545 (in I2P) [2] http://trac.i2p2.de/wiki/GNS -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJURgOtAAoJEIA97kkaNHPnfUQP/RQIBUCjCQcRvDyXL5l+D0Cv yoE7JT2vr7mqQx+/4nT9w/EhuQvakS5lK8gsod3yHDErtbNa8Ot/NylDbPYvdSo0 mXYOWRtaozv/8VIrRZuFc1NLne/08RYAIrnC3A9NCbpCcvwVLMxWXdl3DzEuZ+R5 rVijvHXW2nhVKjEYFez4dtErA+qTC/nKtdlG5hG1gq4mTTbWyYPEVmUonZe7t8l6 +iVc5jG9bKS6ng1Mcvmj5XwDN2rRRk3igo+64gyk7GsHSi3IXxq2S8H+hVD16hk+ gPmS0+oX5Vy6Ww04xM+x55X3NBHbLzkb+dEMYC/gYVLZrmxeG76iAQ/vBDCJncGC 8JI+KhoCx/hQGzvIby1T2VEf8t/fyREKwDq/jmAQdraxqoA5/z5xHwgpetNRRJOM 6LuOtc3jkxe0fOrsJcvHXLQybOKE8bLrLf0jLlmOpKR60EqmFAZaXC8qbzfItvaA KBHKO9t4e1F0t96PH0qhTJjlqqJVunfHyaulC6i9/HBRIZAnjrDtxvN9oQgtyYzI TRw/uxqR0o4c3iDet472YOjLR0JDwz23OHGT66VG/xiNYN2siNpSeBoVXmpc7YuC PGqjgZJkl3EZ/AIU+2mS+lAvmouT9UmW58fIF0BD+bmsr1//zfCIxXH8/EeOZBCw sXUQa30VVMdDYCmQc8dX =HUK1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
