If the entire transaction is being done under a previously exchanged initial key, it will be impossible to detect whether it is a Freenet node or not unless you find the address+key, in which case you have the address and know it's a Freenet node anyway. But I agree that the initial encryption to hide the key exchange can be added later. If we add this then there is no reason not to do key and cipher negotiations in plain text in the form of handshake messages. _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list Freenet-dev at lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/freenet-dev
