If the send side is via Tor then the receiving side doesn't have to be. After all, even with ring signature authentication the TextSecure servers still need to know which recipient to route the message to. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>
<p dir="ltr">Also, I wouldn't say that TextSecure has Pond's anti spam and privacy model at all. It could have something similar added, but unless you know something Open WhisperSystems hasn't made public, the means that federation might be made open are still
undefined.</p></div></blockquote><div>What I meant is, you cannot message someone via TS unless they've given you their phone number, which is usually a private-ish sort of credential. So they don't have the same complicated anti-spam issues that comes from accepting messages from any random person who crawls the web and finds a widely published address.</div></div></div></div>
