This is trivial without Freenet - just exchange your PGP keys and send each other encrypted email. And I believe a number of XMPP clients also support PGP encryption, solving the need for secure one-on-one and group communications. Freenet's main attraction is a resilient, censorship-resistant, distributed data store. That works well for one-to-many applications; moderately well for one-to-group applications; and not so well for many-to-many and one-to-one applications, unfortunately. Regards, Victor Denisov.
