This just makes me think that we need is not an "improved HTTPS", but to rip out TCP/IP and encrypt everything at that level. Now we only need to convince either Google or Microsoft to implement something like that in their OS and encourage/mandate the use of it. Only these 2 matter because they are the owners of the biggest platforms. Yes Apple has a pretty big platform, too, but it's kind of irrelevant since it's a closed Apple-only ecosystem anyway so if it adopts something it doesn't mean the others will too. On the other hand, if either Android or Windows adopts something as major, I think the other one would, too. What I'm thinking is something like MinimaLT or perhaps Trevor Perrin's "Noise" if it ever becomes real. http://cr.yp.to/tcpip/minimalt-20131031.pdf http://cr.yp.to/tcpip/minimalt-20131031.pdf
