Yup.. Much of freenets routing then relies on these noderefs. The node that owns the public/private key has to generate the noderef file itself. >It wouldn't be able to intercept any data (no > private key), just break the reference (one way). Nah, It wouldn't even be able to forge a fake file since it hasn't got the private key needed to make it decryptable with the associated public key (and not intercept communication to/from or pretend to be that node either btw). > Once it is contacted again by the real host, the reference > would be restored. Did I get that right? Close.. it doesn't really need to get contacted by the node generating the noderef. the noderef might be passed from had to hand of nodes within the freenet network (using announcements and ARKs).. /N _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
