Hi,
I'm new to Freenet and I'm struggling to understand some of the
implications of all the different key types. Unfortunately, the
documentation in this regard is really lacking. So:
First, what is the difference between an MSK and a SSK? I've seen
SSKs that essentially look just like MSKs, with paths to html
documents and whatnot. Why then is there any need for the MSK?
Secondly, what is the whole point of this date-based redirect thing?
To me, it seems that it has a lot of downsides; if the original author
of content drops off the 'net for even a few days, it's lost
even if it's popular. That's not good, I think. Are there better
ways of doing these things that are still secure?
Third, what is the purpose of the KSKs, which appear to be insecure,
when we have things like CHKs?
Fourth, what are the types of keys that can be updated? It seems to
me that any using public-key cryptography should be updatable but this
is apparently not the case? (No doubt there are architectural
limitations that I'm not aware of that prevent this...)
Also:
There is Freenet.client.IndexClient that some pages reference
but there are zero docs on it. Can someone explain what it does
and how it works?
How exactly do people handle feedback to sites now, and in the past?
The Snarfoo pages seemed to indicate that there is the "current"
method that absolutely requires the site maintainer to check back
each day, and the old method that didn't. Can anyone fill me in?
What purpose is there to specifying -htl for an *insert*?
Thanks,
John Goerzen
