I was wondering what other people thought on this topic. I was wondering if this could be used with torrents but more secure being anonymously. I copy and pasted this out of a security news letter I recieveD.
Researchers plan to present a proof-of-concept, "zero-footprint" darknet
called Veiled at next month's Black Hat Security Conference. HP's Billy
Hoffman and Matt Wood say their idea "take[s] the idea of a darknet and
move[s] it into the browser platform." While the idea of a darknet is
not new, the concept as presented by the pair "uses the latest in rich
Internet technologies" to make it a simpler affair than it has been in
the past. Normally, a darknet requires third-party technology, but
Veiled requires no new software. By taking advantage of newer
developments like HTML 5, the researchers have created a system similar
to a P2P network. Hoffman and Wood say that while their idea may not
have the strength of the Tor network, it "is a lot easier to use."
