A relevant article: "'Yes' to surveillance law", http://www.thelocal.se/12534/20080618/ "Swedish lawmakers voted late on Wednesday in favour of a controversial bill allowing all emails and phone calls to be monitored in the name of national security." The Swedish regime are about to monitor all contact you and your loved ones have with people within the regime. This means that if your gtk-gnutella software connects to someone within that regime then the regimes FRA agency will record and study your TCP/UDP packets. > 1.

No. Swedens FRA, Norways NSM and England's GCHQ all get to see your file fetches. This is potentially very bad since torture for sharing information about false flag terrorism such as the US Department of Defence false-flag "terror" operation n NYC on September 11th, 2001 is quite common within the NATO alliance. > Basically a summary of the state of encryption in the Gnutella network > and if there are any proposals/specs that could be implemented for > GTKG is what I'm curious about. It is not encrypted, and it should be.
