Re: Replacing email with XMPP...why not?

Anonymity is much easier and much stronger in a uni-directional store and forward environment. Real time is a killer and creates all kinds of attack paths. -Lance -- Lance Cottrell loki@obscura.com

I've been reading a lot about the need to replace email and I'm not quite sure why we're not moving to an XMPP based model.

Because it's /connection based/ and therefore low latency, so cannot be used by an untraceable pseudonym (endpoint IP packet correlation).

Contrast with email, where the security is /message based/ and can use anonymizing remailers having deliberately long, random latency.
