The FreedomBuddy system is built around a handshake protocol for negotiating trusted communication routes. The reference implementation that Nick has built uses Tor hidden services to carry the handshake messages but it would be equally possible to use other network tools like i2p, traditional DNS, gnunet, or something completely wacky like a carrier pigeon network, to carry the same messages. That, theoretically, would enable me to to give my friends multiple contact routes to my freedombox that run over different networks, in much the same way I currently have multiple email addresses. So the multiple FreedomBuddy services are most likely to actually be a single service that you can reach through multiple routes rather than different boxes. -Ian _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
