Did you know the NSA designed the IP protocol with backdoors in it to spy on you?
Did you know that every time you visit a website you give it your IP address? EVERY TIME
That's like every time you speak to someone you give them your home address; it's insane!
We need to redesign the Internet. So give me your ideas!
If I get enough of them I'll start an open source project to implement them.
The project will be FreeBSD licensed so anybody can use the code and it will spread like crazy.
I decided against using the GPL as Rimmus will assuredly demand the project be called RMS/GNU/prog/net instead of just /prog/net.
So lets start.
First idea: No return IP addresses in packets. If you want them to reply to something you include the address at the application layer.
Second idea: All communications are encrypted. We'll make it so every address is associated with a public key that is used to encrypt data sent to it.
Third idea: Any person can use any address that isn't already taken. The current system we have, where you need to purchase blocks of IP addresses from registrars is obviously designed to track you and to squeeze money from you. No longer can you look up an IP address and get the name of the person/organization who bought it.
