Hello,

I have a few questions regarding security of freenet:

(1) When some way wants to retrieve for example,
MSK@SSK@sfsa2r2234/greatsite//
are "greatsite" and "MSK@SSK@sfsa2r2234" sent via clear text over 
the internet?

(2) How does one node learn other nodes, and how is the information
stored? 

Can a totalitarian government setup some nodes just to collect 
information such as the IP address of other nodes? It can then 
use this info to arrest everyone who uses freenet. (I mean
technologically, can we prevent this to happen?)

Probably most people on this list cannot imagine such things can
happy at all. But that is what is going on in China. Over their
any encrytion is illegal unless registered with the government
and the government has to have a backdoor. But I want to introduce 
freenet to China. Of course, we will not be allowed to register. 
Hope you can help me.

**** BTW, we have the freenet jump start and some of the FAQ 
translated into Chinese. Do you care to post it your site or 
put a link for it?


Regards,
Yuan
