I’ve been playing with an idea that would involve running a machine over a delay-tolerant mesh network. The thing is, each packet is precious and needs to be pretty much self contained in that situation, while modern systems assume SSH-like continuous interaction with the user.
Has anyone heard of anything pre-existing that would work here? I figured if anyone would know about situations where each character is expensive, it would be you folks.
Government agencies, in my experience, tend to believe in security through obscurity; even the ones that don’t worry about spies as much as NASA. That said, maybe it’s worth a shot. I’ll have to figure out who’s the best person to bug.
