SCN: Web censorship and "Publius"

[J. Johnson]

There is a new technique, called "Publius", about to be tested that is
claimed to be resistant to censorship.  The protected resources are
distributed across multiple servers as anonymous encrypted fragments,
which the ISPs can neither read nor identify with the resource.  A request
for the resource pulls from some mininum number of servers, and decyrpts
and reassembles it.  The developers, from Bell Labs, had in mind the
protection of citizens in China; others wonder if this would also help
pornographers and other crimminals to hide.  For more information,
including a link to a Washington Post article, see:
