Date: Wed, 31 Jan 1996 23:28 EDT From: "E. ALLEN SMITH" <EALLENSMITH@ocelot.Rutgers.EDU> To: trei@process.com Cc: cypherpunks@toad.com X-Envelope-To: cypherpunks@toad.com X-Vms-To: IN%"trei@process.com" From: IN%"trei@process.com" 29-JAN-1996 14:32:19.64 >The general reaction of the library community was, I am glad to say, entirely pro-privacy. -------------------- To their credit, yes. One application of this that others may be interested in is that ILL requests (I have been told) come from a library, not from a library's user. Thus, when I made one and got it back from the CIA's lending library (yes, they have one), they didn't know who I was... fortunately, given the book in question. Sort of a lesson for things like sites, et al. If all that someone can tell is that a IP or whatever request came from a particular site, then traffic analysis and other such things are disrupted. One way to do this would be to set up fictional accounts automatically to serve as proxies (relayed to the real account), which would make it impossible for a normal proxy-detector (lack of information or a particular set of information) to filter them out. -Allen
