Describe for us what you have in mind for "nym servers" and why they are important, then maybe more folks will get involved.
I beleive that Bryan is referring to nym servers along the lines of alpha and omega (.c2.org) The omega source isn't publically available because frankly I'm pretty ashamed of how ugly and nasty the program is (I wrote it more than a year ago, and my "improvement" in my perl programming skill shows if you compare that code with code I've written lately in perl). I'm not sure why the alpha source isn't available, as it isn't my server. (It runs on my ISP because Matt Ghio, who runs it, has an account here) The alpha and omega servers share the fact that someone can register a nym anonymously and give the server an encrypted-reply-block rather than a real email address. This is secure to the court-order form of attack against the anonymous identity, as opposed to the penet server, which is not secure against court-order attack. (There is still very much work that needs to be done towards defeating replay & traffic analysis attacks on anonymous forwarders on the server) -- sameer Voice: 510-601-9777 Network Administrator Pager: 510-321-1014 Community ConneXion: The NEXUS-Berkeley Dialin: 510-658-6376 http://www.c2.org (or login as "guest") sameer@c2.org
