When we designed PNRP, I was pretty adamant to avoid this business of storing other people's data. We assumed that your data would be stored locally. The cost is a bit of added synchronization cost, effectively scaling as the number of records that have to be published. But if you are looking at a P2P name server type application, there are very few such records. Basically, the less nodes rely on strangers, the better. - -- Christian Huitema -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (MingW32) Comment: Using gpg4o v3.1.107.3564 - http://www.gpg4o.de/ Charset: utf-8 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSHYReAAoJELba05IUOHVQuJsH/2W+6CLtc+IRjH/7ufNhlIx8 F8H30+vt3D1QxikluwKkzBB3HVxSiZL1N1z5z63Vvi9a+nIzuJPX8xNJf27tvvp7 gcHQqTz3J/Ffa2pX0fjtr83bpfBg+x27b7T4gBdbuN1KZ3sesQaHXWurCV2bz3Nb 9IDn2PYBOna+FXM/fMA8cpvElb+C6rEDvO0hcW1CVIxutt3yLICR3rAnyzhFQSUP 7MbnOZ7iSXRrmgvY3ukmI+OsAf9iOEavxdmgMYJJj1istyg1PMHcFH3MPoxggrfl 9ESTc1wiiZYsVF3r0SXf0DI08J8z7RXzJ/0WY9PUGgxQ49CEYgsq9ZSpUUfEm7Y= =4LGc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ The cryptography mailing list cryptography@metzdowd.com http://www.metzdowd.com/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
