I have considered porting mixminion to Go and implementing it as designed.. it's pretty interesting. I think it would be neat if you added "bridges" like an SMTP -> Mixminion and Mixminion -> IRC/Matrix/etc.
Of course, you could chain something like Mixmaster -> SMTP bridge -> Mixminion or Mixminion -> Tor -> IRC/Matrix/etc.

I submitted the URL to HN as well.

- eigenvalue 3y agoCool, looks like a good summary. What I like about the talk I linked to is that it walks you through the process of designing it yourself, starting with the simplest version of the idea and then progressively pointing out its weaknesses and showing how you could counteract each weakness with a new idea. And then how there are new attacks against the "fixes," and so on, until you have a fairly secure system. At the end, you understand it way more than if the entire system were laid out from the begnning in a fully formed way.
- crotchfire 3y agoThere is a really nice specification for the authenticated encryption wrapper described above, as a standalone protocol element (i.e. usable independent of email/tor/etc): https://eprint.iacr.org/2008/475 https://eprint.iacr.org/2008/475 It's already in use by the Lightning Network.
