> Subject: DARPA: proposers day for "Resilient Anonymous Communication for Everyone (RACE)"
>
> In a nutshell, how about a distributed, secure and anonymous communication system? Anybody? (At complete odds, of 
> course, with the law enforcement communications access concerns coming out of other agencies,but resonating with what 
> might remain of the Internet Freedom program at State.)
>
> Proposers day to be held in... 12 days, in the DC area. Because [see numerous previous rants of mine about 
> DARPA/federal agency looming deadlines].

> > SUMMARY 
> > The RACE program will research technologies for a distributed messaging system that a) can exist completely within a 
> > given network, b) provides confidentiality, integrity, and availability of messaging, and c) preserves privacy to 
> > any participant in the system. Compromised system data and associated networked communications should not be helpful 
> > to compromise any additional parts of the system. 
> > RACE advances will be based on rigorous security arguments, such as those found in the academic cryptography 
> > community or statistical arguments based on realistic simulations. RACE will create advances in communication 
> > protocol encapsulation methods as well as efficient, oblivious, distributed system tasking, possibly via secure 
> > multiparty computation, to build a system that cannot be compromised even with limited participant compromises and 
> > large-scale, real-time deep packet inspection. Approaches to preserving privacy are of interest, such as ubiquitous 
> > encryption, even during computation, and obfuscating communication protocols.
