I concur - the design is incredible broken. I guess running a torrent tracker doesn't automatically turn one into a protocol designer... And there's a boatload of existing proposals in this space. IPETEE is probably most closely related to anonymous TLS, and at the TCP layer there's draft-ietf-tcpm-tcp-auth-opt [1] (the designated successor of TCP-MD5) as well as the "obfuscated TCP" proposal [2]. At the IP layer, there is BTNS [3].
