Unlike most DNS services ENUM requests contain the sort of information that the NSA and telcos were caught up in the previous couple of years. Of late we have implemented our own name server software so we felt compelled to extend this to encrypt DNS requests and replies. We can only assume the only reason that the NSA is the only government spy agency that has made the news is because they were the only ones to get caught, not because they are the only ones doing it, or if others aren't doing it now they most likely will be within the next decade or so. Besides the obvious government spy efforts, even if you have nothing to hide from any government, at least at this point in time, that doesn't mean you don't want to hide or conceal your personal information from your neighbours, employers, employees, your business competitors or whoever the list can really go on and is unique to our own situations and what it is we're doing that we don't want others to know we're doing. No matter what you are doing there is bound to be someone you don't want sticking their nose into your business. After all, if we weren't worried about everyone knowing everything occurring in our lives we wouldn't put curtains up in our houses. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.freeauth.org - Enterprise Two Factor Authentication http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://e164.org - Global Communication for the 21st Century "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip."
