This could be very interesting, but like most P2P and File sharing protocols you can make them and secure as you like, but the weakest link in any encryption is people. All it takes is for someone from the RIAA, MPAA, etc to infiltrate said private network and easily be able to catch people out sharing copyrighted material easily.
It's good to see people thinking of ways around a very serious impending problem if something like CISPA passes shortly.
- bren2013 14y agoThe weakest link in this system is only the actual sharing of torrent files. We didn't focus on candy security only (hard on the outside, soft on the inside). Even if you are trusted, and inside a cluster, you're still limited to active attacks only--that is, refusing to relay messages you don't like (but not editing them!). You still have no idea (hopefully/usually) who has requested a file, who has offered the file, and you usually won't even know what the file was unless you've already obtained a copy of the torrent file.
