Deep packet inspection used to stop censorship
- joejohnson 15y agoI feel like it will be a difficult sell to any government (even "liberal democracies"), let alone an ISP.
- patrickc 15y agoI've no doubt they can monetize it, but I suspect there'll be "traffic forwarding" libraries popping up on Github, if this idea takes off
- DanteDesmond 15y agoIf only this could be somehow tranformed into a p2p based service...
- JakeSc 15y agoP2P does help promote anonymity and platform robustness. What aspect of Telex do you suppose could use P2P?
- hammock 15y agoFascinating innovation!
- JakeSc 15y agoIf Telex is ever to become adopted on a wide-scale, it needs to happen now. Think about it: governments, in general, are not becoming more friendly toward an open Internet. No governing body will want to deploy Telex more next year than they do this year.
- spicyj 15y agoAm I wrong in my understanding that there is a single private key which, if stolen, will cause the whole system to fall apart?
- Xk 15y agoThat's not the case. Each Telex Station has it's own private key which it uses to decrypt the 224 bit tag. If one Telex station loses its private key, then the user will just use another.
- Shenglong 15y agogovernment help will likely be needed to get a system like Telex off the ground I can't see this as being good for international policy. Imagine China's response to the US directly helping people circumvent their controls. That might as well be a soft declaration of war.
- tsycho 15y agoUnfortunately, I don't see why any government (including western democracies) would support a system that reduces their ability to censor traffic within its borders.

- chadgeidel 15y agoI'm not well-versed in cryptography, but how do I know that I'm talking to a "trustworthy telex"? What's to prevent the bad guy from poisoning the network with his "telex" router?
- rnrl 15y agogreat this could also be used to bypass enterprise url filters. joy
