Hi ianG, These are some subjects I thought about: - Running a DHT despite the NAT problems. (While many present non-elegent technical ideas to route around NATs, there might be a nice theoretical solution). - Navigation using Virtual DHTs (Like done in Cjdns. I think nobody really knows to prove why it works, and whether it is going to scale).
- Creating a rigorous adversarial model for DHTs. (I think that we still don't have one. Most articles on this subject resort to experimentation because they can't prove correctness). - Building a secure DHT. - Dealing with Sybil Attack and Eclipse attack (Many corrupt nodes choosing DHT identities close to some value). I tried to solve some of these myself, mostly from the direction of mesh routing. My efforts are documented online, here: http://www.freedomlayer.org/articles_index.html Regards, real.
