Where is a fully functional and secure "stealth PGP"?
PGP stealth 2.01 beta is at: http://www.dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/stealth/
It is not release quality.
I've been meaning to fix that for a while now, a release version will be out RSN.
Do you, or anyone else who is interested see any advantage in having stealth functionality integrated into PGP, say as a patch for PGP263i / mit PGP262? Not that hard to do, if there's any interest for it to be integrated.
Zbigniew Fiedorowicz <fiedorow@math.mps.ohio-state.edu> added stealth and SHA1 support directly to a MAC version of PGP. The key words `fat mac pgp' in a www search engine would probably find it. Or `Zbigniew pgp'?
Best to use <http://128.146.111.31/~fiedorow/PGP/#sha1>
Where are anonymous and encrypted WWW clients and hosts which permit chaining?
Folks working on this?
The only person I know of to announce such a project was Ray Cromwell. His Decense project was discussed on this list briefly in February. I believe the source is still posted at <http://www.clark.net/pub/rjc/decense.html>. I've tried to contact Ray to get an up date on progress, but without results. The shortcoming of Ray's approach is that it requires intermediate servers to re-route all client-server packets and therefore someone must provide that, considerable, bandwidth for free or fee. If someone were to set up a real-time BlackNet it could provide a superset of Decense and also offer considerably improved anonymity. I've heard some months ago that such a project is under consideration.

As I said, I'll fund the second node. But I don't expect somebody to donate a T1. They will expect compensation. Perhaps via Ecash. The new Ecashlib should do the job just fine. <http://www.digicash.com/api/>
