...people wanted to come along to the IETF and standardise the kind of application protocol described in the "solution" section of this [1] paper. (Just seen on /. ) I'm not saying that that solution is wonderful as-is, but it does appear to be a design that tries hard to be privacy friendly and to prevent false reporting.
>From the paper, it looks like the Google and Waze protocols that the authors analyse have serious shortcomings that would likely have been spotted had those protocols been developed more openly. There is mention of open-source licensing, but however those were developed, the result appears to show a lack of security/privacy clue somewhere. I'm not sure what, if anything, we could do to encourage folks to bring such work here, but it does really look like they could have deployed something quite that if they had done that. S.
