Quite interesting, but it raises several questions in my mind...firstly, the aim of Calyx can be either good or bad, because while I'm definitely against the government's current interest in snooping into things that they have no right to pry into, that doesn't mean that I'm against it being able to do so in strictly defined parameters, as in crime investigations, which are court ordered, and are within the scope of the Constitution, like has been done for many years with wiretapping telephones.
I really only have a very basic understanding of how VPNs work, but it seems that while end-to-end encryption would protect the content of transmissions, it would not protect identification of an individual's IP number. If that is true, it would have no effect on curbing the ability of the government and/or other organizations from using this to bring unfounded accusations and actions against anyone based on the general nature of a website or torrent, which is my greatest current concern.Therefore, it is difficult for me to evaluate the pros or cons of this endeavor at this time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this type of com already avaiable...at least in certain areas?
