Is this mesh stuff really the answer? Sure, it can stop collection at a central point, but doesn't it still leave open the possibility for any data to be collected from spying nodes throughout the network?
- jaekwon 13y agoThe CJDNS whitepaper has a good writeup: https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/blob/master/rfcs/Whitepaper.md https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns/blob/master/rfcs/Whitepap... Node to node encryption would make packet inspection rather difficult, for one. BTW, I don't think CJDNS is necessarily going to win. See: http://www.mail-archive.com/liberationtech@lists.stanford.edu/msg05979.html http://www.mail-archive.com/liberationtech@lists.stanford.ed... But soon, somebody will to come up with a mesh protocol that is simple and scalable.
- wslh 13y agoBut the problem doesn't end on encypting endpoints because the NSA can infer information from the flow routes. You need something bigger, like honeypots and many other tools of confusion.
