meaning of anonymous

[Greg Troxel]

(in response to warner@'s ticket comments)

I agree that anonymous is an imprecise word.

To really talk about this, we need to name the entities and talk about
who can figure out what.

One might want:

  network eavesdroppers can't determine that someone is running tahoe

  network eavesdroppers can't determine which introducer and storage
  nodes a nodes is talking to

  storage nodes can't figure out the identity of a node (seems very
  hard)


So, having the introducer and each storage node as a hidden service, and
all access over tor is probably a useful intermediate point towards the
strictest definition one could conjure up.  Calling that
"network-anonymous" is probably useful.
