Well..a kind of Tor for mobile devices? Imagine many people are running something like Asterisk, at home or as a VM. Your phone is looking up the "nearest" server, establishes a secured connection and uses the server to call. Does it work in principle? What are the challenges? I would also think of a 'web of trust', maybe using PGP to chose and establish connections. So I am storing well-known PGP keys which identify friends; servers I trust. I can chose to trust friends' friends - maybe the degree of trust (level of separation). BTW: I have interest in it, if there are others who think it is a good idea, and worth to do some serious brainstorming to figure out a good solution.. I am up for it. I have the feeling a lot of the technologies are out there, it is just a matter of getting the plumbing right. Regards Peter
