Hi Dean,

A couple of years back we had some discussion about the need to
design IETF protocols to be DPI resistant. One principle that I
think should guide our efforts is that not only should each protocol
be itself DPI resistant, but it should deliberately assist other
protocols in being DPI resistant. I call this "intentional mutual obscurity".
Is this about security or privacy?
You may remember thinking that this position was a little "extreme"
when I proposed it.
:-)
With the ITU insisting on designing deep packet inspection into the
network at the behest of dictators, tyrants, and thugs at various
levels of political regimes, perhaps we're ready to reconsider?
I thought that deep packet inspection was also used by regimes which
label themselves as democratic to remove illegal content from their
national network. Anyway, deliberately obscurity prompts people to
build better mouse traps. It is well known that mouse traps can
always be improved. :-)
