<p>Peerio’s current security objectives do not include:<br>
</p>
<p> 1. Anonymizing the identities, connections, and social graphs of
users.</p>
<p>"""</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>2) The "redundant" characterization of storage comes from
Microsoft Azure. Stored blobs seem to be the "kegs" from KegDB.
These keg object are usually encrypted (page 11). Yes, in 4th
party, Azure cloud, not 100% encrypted, but only usually.</p>
<p>By the way, kegs having kegs in them, and user access to
particular kegs -- all of it reminds of concepts from file system,
cause that what folders + permissions do.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>These two are highlights (in my partisan opinion :) ).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>There were strong statements dropped on twitter when Nadim left
peerio. In absence of any other information, we may guess that
current architecture is what investors wanted. May be there were
emotions high, hence, a little misinterpreted in darker colors.<br>
</p>
<p>But really, this currect peerio architecture is just one more of
those lock-in islands, walled gardens, since they will not
federate with competitors' users. Giving up some control with
introduction of federation and openness is not what investors
want.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Let's recall again, wiretapping is looking into content, while
surveillance is knowing what you do, what is your social graph. It
is a social graph part that is monetize-able, these days.</p>
<p><br>

<pre wrap="">Hi folks,
Has anyone been following Peerio's move to a new architecture and have
any thoughts on it? Or see others' thoughts online worth sharing?
