Basically his argument was: can you trust the developers of Tor to be ahead of exploit development? Also, the design of Tor is not onion-like. It acts how you want it to act (3 hops rapid and not easily reversible by modest attackers), but it does not employ the model you expect for performance reasons. * We discussed homomorphic encryption * We discussed FPGAs briefly (pipelining). * We're planning a meeting for February. ---- CategoryLocalMeetings
