I like the guard nodes idea ("gateway" or "proxy" nodes?). Maybe introduce a gateway node type, and add a way to pass traffic through a particular gateway (with a second tor-like encryption layer) defined using an extension to the current flow rules language. That would collapse all the traffic behind the gateway into a single identity (the gateway's), and probably be general enough to support all kinds of fancy features like onion-routing, monitored link balancing, etc.
- api 4y agoYeah. I think a TL;DR on my reply above: I think the difference in privacy between identity(ephemeral(x)) and ephemeral(identity(x)) is not significant. It's more honest to tell people that our product offers only content privacy not meta-data privacy unless we are truly implementing strong countermeasures against tracking by ISPs or others that can pervasively sniff the net. Just nixing the identity key visibility is not a strong countermeasure for the reasons I described.
