That's what can be deducted from some papers but this is really a =

shortcut, like "the bittorrent network is less secure with the DHT than =

with trackers", funny statement...

I must add some technical faqs following some questions I had but an =

example of a decentralized anonymous p2p system is what I have specified =

in [1], some concepts are new, I don't see it in any paper, the =

peers/content discovery system has several layers, not only the DHT, the =

keys are ephemeral and the nodeIDs are directly related to them, I =

believe this makes really difficult for the attackers to position =

themselves in the network, but since the content is not advertised by =

the peers that have it but by others, while difficult it's probably =

feasible for an attacker that has the possibility to control a large =

part of the space to attract the peers to a fake/evil content.

The system answers a specific constraint coming from WebRTC: the peers =

need to be introduced by a third party, but after the initial bootstrap =

they can introduce themselves directly.

Could some of this apply to the Tor network? Probably, the best way to =

know is just to try it.
