This post is supposed to get to Nikita Borisov and Jason Waddle regarding: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~nikitab/projects/p2p/proposal.html Part 1: "Research a formal metric for the anonymity of a system. We are currently performing a literature search; if we fail to find a suitable metric in past research, we will propose a new one." Here's a nice paper that analizes the annonymity of Crowds: Probabilistic Analysis of Anonymity Vitaly Shmatikov SRI International http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/shmatikov02probabilistic.html "We use discrete-time Markov chains to formally model the behavior of group members in Crowds [22], specify anonymity properties of the system as temporal logic formulas, and use a probabilistic model checker to verify them. This analysis method is applicable to other probabilistic systems such as Freenet." Part 2: DOS Resistance: I've got a basic handle now on DOS resistance vs. peformance and I can almost get a faint glimmer of what the a "perfect" DHT should look like. I've posted my ideas on it to the Freenet list and I'll post them to the MNet list today too. If anyone wants to discuss how to build a better Freenet, I'd LOVE to help. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
