Internet v2

That name's already taken.

The device must be assigned a random ID by the physical layer [...]

Look into IPv6 ephemeral addresses.

Look into IPv6 ephemeral addresses

Sounds good! But does it provide encryption tho?

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

IPv6 supports IPsec, but I think this proposal would be closer to Tor/I2P over IPv6.

For example, a client using an IPv6 ephemeral address, accessing a Tor hidden site, hosted on another client using an IPv6 ephemeral address, will both encrypt, and anonymize both endpoints, with a very short window for any de-anonymization attempts.

I2P will also scramble the whole connection over multiple circuits.
