I have no problems with encrypting everything, as long as we realize that in doing so, we're only solving one corner of the problem, and the watchers will just move their efforts elsewhere; all intelligent attackers always look for the weak point, no? (Although I have to wonder at the computing load needed to do so. I gather e.g. Google's datacenters use enormous amounts of energy - I wonder if mass encryption of all traffic on the Internet would be literally a 'boiling the ocean' solution... I'm amused by the memory of people who used to react with shock and horror to variable length addresses, because of the extra computational load required to handle _them_....) > And best is of course if this can be end to end That's going to take quite a while to accomplish; it requires updating all the hosts. (I know, we don't have to get to 99.9%, but it's still non-trivial to get to, say, 70%.) Noel
