Tor is really a basic standard today.

We envisage banks becoming key stores, for local onion websites (tor and importantly I2P, which does more than tor). They will also be a place where people can go to be connected to local jobs and to register to vote on local govt budgets.

Among other things.

Gone are the days where people trust a handful of global #CertificateAuthorities.

@cy
We came to that realisation fairly quickly, once we started looking. The #CertificateAuthorities (CAs) are large in number but not enough to be considered #decentralised.

In reality #banks are a logical vendor. You'd visit local banks, and use the certs they sign for local business. They could possibly store #I2P addresses from partner banks they are confident about also.

Our banks are buggered in #Australia though. They're even worse than #SSL…

They are #cloudflare MITM'd!

Hi Maike,

We were similarly cautious about OMEMO once, then we watched a video about how the DoubleRatchet algorithm works and OMEMO is no longer an issue.

I2P federation is now our biggest hurdle. We don't believe people should have to buy domain names and be beholden to #certificateAuthorities for basic #communication.

Its deeply troubling that systems like Tor and i2p have existed for over a decade yet no one has had the guts to promote them strongly. We've had #netNeutrality destroyed, #dragNets built, #techGiants crush #independentMedia, and respected #certificateAuthorities exposed for issuing faulty #encryptionKeys...

What more do we honestly need!?

But when we try to suggest the alternative, many act like its too extreme. The #sleepwalking is real.

@wyatwerp
The signing and #HTTPS is another very good point, yes. And justification for moving to the New Internet.

The #legacyInternet requires trust in third parties known as #certificateAuthorities. The 'NewInternet' does not require this #trust.

The New Internet is quite vibrant and seems to be always growing. It needs to be the future - and thus will be.
