Mixnets working session

Loopix - ​https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00536

• Mix nodes stratified in a circle topology gives a compromise between doing some future proof and scalability
• Exponential delays are memoryless and give Poisson distribution
• Cover traffic streams : Real/drop, loop, extra drop remainder.
• Poisson distributions are additive, so different streams of cover traffic can have their parameters tweaked dynamically.
• Cover traffic costs vs latency

What to transport?

• Email-like
• DVCS pushes
• DB updates (CouchDB?)

Discussed panoramix project

• Goals pluggable but first: Email (K9 on MTA-to-MTA), E-voting, and privacy friendly gathering of statistics
• Everybody needs a PKI
