In Freenet 0.8, we will implement two main new security mechanisms: 1. Premix routing. (privacy) 2. Swap enforcement. (prevention of exploitation of routing)
The problem with this is that in both cases the local network topology needs to be exposed for a number of hops, (premix routing additionally requires the network be divided into semi-fixed cells, groups of nodes for anonymity purposes). Will this be possible with opennet's constant connection churn? Granted we can control the rate at which connection churn takes place, however a certain level will be necessary for the network to approach optimality. If it is not, then we need to be very careful when implementing hybrid opennet/darknet; we may even want to keep the networks separate. -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
