The problem is to make publishing and reading anonymous. This may require mixmaster prerouting. The announcement protocol must also be changed so that nodes can not choose their own specializations.
We can do this in the normal freenet way:
Nodes have no way of knowing if a request/insert is from a given node or if the nodes is simply passing it on.
A request will be routed through several randomly selected nodes before it arrives at the specialised node. (this is what I called routing procedure 2 and the goal is to hide the true origin of the request/insert)
The specialised nodes will get allot of requests for a small subset of keys but they have no way of knowing if the node that contacts them is the originator or simply passing it down the line. (it will be extremely rare that the originator contacts the specialised node directly)
The goal is to keep the anonymity of freenet while making it faster and more efficient.
I would like to know if this method has any major drawbacks and if it hasnt, why arent we doing something like this?
