Title: Using the Keyhotee platform to make an alternative to TOR!
Post by: islandking on November 13, 2014, 12:09:01 am

It would be awesome if the dev team was able to make an alternative to the TOR browser using the Keyhotee platform to provide completely anonymous, encrypted internet connections.

TOR is the only software that you can really use right now that offers this, and TOR is extremely controversial as there are some government spying nodes in the TOR network, and there are several theories that TOR has a backdoor. It would really bring a lot of attention to the Bitshares and Keyhotee project if this was implemented.

What do you think?

As far as I know keyhotee was never intended to replicate tor.  Keyhotee allows you to be 100% sure that you are talking to the right server, and for the server to be 100% sure that they are talking to you.  There is no anonymization, only obfuscation of the contents being communicated. 
 
Also as a general rule.  Be very careful with tor.  It probably doesn't provide the security you think it does.
