[tahoe-dev] Idea for a Publish/Subscribe Message System on Tahoe-LAFS

[Jeffrey Burdges]

Good point. :)  Anything you wish to search for like a name or an email address doesn't really have enough entropy.  Any proof-of-work should go into a hello message or whatever.

An independent source picks a new key seed every n months, thus forcing the searcher to hash their searches using all previous seeds, but preventing the server from using rainbow tables as effectively. I would also be interested in working on such a weakly secure search infrastructure project. I'm rather surprised that nobody has built this or similar yet actually, it's trivial conceptually and not too hard to implement.
