As a result of looking at the security of current nym servers it
is painfully obvious that with ECHELON type networks and the 4th amendment
evaporating in the face of goon squad raids that the limitation
of nym.alias.net type nym servers give very fragile privacy to
there users. This is a direct consequence of nyms that rely upon
type-1 remailer blocks. With the current nymserver implement
there is a file chockfull of type-I blocks just waiting for a
subpoena.
Given that the above subpoena is useless in the face of nyms that
rely upon a message pool such as alt.anonymous.messages.,
a design breaks down rather logically.
A java client based upon type one and type 2 remailer classes establishes
a forward linkage with the nym server. The reply linkage is established
with the client via a broadcast medium such as news or dns :)
The reply format is returned to the client is in the form of private eternity
URLs. Reliability can be enhanced by having a telemetry listener
that requests retransmission of missing articles.
Yes I know about freedom and eternity... this system is meant to be freeware
