Dear tahoe-dev folks: Check out these research papers:
Roxana Geambasu, Jarret Falkner, Paul Gardner, Tadayoshi Kohno, Arvind Krishnamurthy, and Henry M. Levy: "Experiences Building Security Applications on DHTs" Scott Wolchok, Owen S. Hofmann, Nadia Heninger, Edward W. Felten, J. Alex Halderman, Christopher J. Rossbach, Brent Waters, and Emmett Witchel: "Defeating Vanish with Low-Cost Sybil Attacks Against Large DHTs" It is interesting to see how these security researchers are trying to adapt distributed networks such as Vuze (Azureus) and OpenDHT to provide novel security properties, and it is very interesting to see how the schemes fail. I wonder if the kind of security properties that they want could be layered on top of Tahoe-LAFS or provided as a built-in feature of a future version of Tahoe-LAFS. As far as I can see right now, the answer is "not quite".
