 =============
 
+2003-07-21 - 2003-07-24
+
+    - studied how Freenet's (as the authors call it), Next-Generation
+      routing works
+      - N.G. routing uses statistical information to select a node when
+        forwarding a key request
+      - Freenet uses statistical information to measure actual Internet
+        routing/response times        
+      - should be more adaptable and efficient
+      - Tapestry's 'Patchwork' component is similar to N.G. routing (both 
measure 
+        neighbor links' actual response times &c)
+    - more Perl (http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perl.html)
+    - examined the bootstrap process of a Tapestry overlay (source code)
+      - for now, it is required that federation peer and # of static peers
+        bootsrap a network
+      - however, we can do this process in a single computer
+      - this process should be 'fixed' soon 
+    - looked for wiki software
+      - installed Twiki on himalia (with Tuukka)
+      - Twiki is both configurabe and complex
+      - we proably need more simple wiki(?)
+    - Identity Based Cryptography
+      - IBC has had much attention in cryptography domain very recently
+      - a public key can be e.g. person's e-mail, ip-address etc      
+      - no more randomly generated keys
+      - no more certificate - key binding problems
+      - no more certificate revokations, revokation lists etc
+      - private keys are provided by a key server
+      - looks promising w.r.t. Storm's pointer authentication
+      - a good place to start: 
http://planeta.terra.com.br/informatica/paulobarreto/pblounge.html
+        and http://www.identicrypt.com/technology/ibe.htm
+      - added few refs into gzigzag.bib related to IBC

     - study more merging:
       - read "A state-of-the-art survey on software merging" article
