This is something which I did not think. It's basically like sending truecrypted packets between people. But this doesn't solve one problem - metadata. I still know you sent an email at time X to person P2. Tor's method of onion routing looks quite nice though.
- samstave 13y agoI don't think we can solve meta-data issue any time soon. But I am really disturbed by the slide in the NSA XKeyScore ppt that said "Show me all word documents sent [emailed] from Iran that contain X" -- This is NOT something I can accept any intelligence agency having the capability to do.
- josho 13y agoOk, what about a new email spec. That as a part of it sends random noise at random intervals. This makes it hard to determine if you actually sent a mail, or if it was just the noise part of the spec. ... Wait, that's so wrong. Why don't we just fix our laws. ... Wait, we will always have bad actors or regimes, do we just design for that?
- saraid216 13y agoWhen you're worried about things at this level, laws are just an external dependency not under your control, i.e. a security hole waiting to be exploited.
- Amadou 13y agoI still know you sent an email at time X to person P2. We need a giant public "mailstore" where everybody (or at least a large pool of people) put the encrypted messages with encrypted recipient information. Everybody who uses this mailstore gets a copy of every message posted to it, but unless they are the intended recipient with the right private key they can't make heads or tails of it. Maybe usenet could be drafted into handling it. Usenet already handles terabytes of encrypted data on a regular basis nowadays.
