Cypherpunk Type I? Ok, what are the other types? Should there be a type specification like there is for RAID, or the Body Armor Threat levels?
Currently? Only Mixmaster AKA Cypherpunk Type II. This is part of why an official standards document is needed. My specs will include the start of an `official' type specification. [ snip ]
Should we come up with a similar type of graduated system, and specs for each, with some kind of negotiation between remailers, so that they can determine what levels to use to communicate with various remailers? Then we could talk in terms of type 6, for example, having all the abilities of levels 1-5 and then some.
