My understanding of his argument is that with increasing need of reliability of encryption the need for hiding the communication partners increases. I would add that above a certain level of encryption security or connection hiding it probably becomes important to hide that you use this technology at all (at least if you don't do it just for fun). Unpleasant people might have wrong thoughts otherwise. Hauke -- PGP: D44C 6A5B 71B0 427C CED3 025C BD7D 6D27 ECCB 5814
