If Safe succeeds as a decentralized permissionless (uncensorable) network it’ll be targeted for attack by state, corporate, and criminal actors. Everyone!
That’s why I think it’ll become especially important for the protocol and traffic to be more than encrypted; obfuscated:
@Zoki
I’m in agreement, with one assumption: traffic obfuscation.
Encrypted transit alone won’t be sufficient when state and corporate actors are specifically targeting SAFE. It’s also possible that encryption, or certain forms of it, could be made illegal and ports detected using it are simply terminated.
IMHO it will become very important for SAFE’s traffic to be indistinguishable from generic clearnet traffic. For example, encoding SAFE’s traffic as ordinary web requests and mmo game dat…

SAFE isn’t even here yet and we’re possibly already a major step closer to:
From the article, “For instance, it enables the creation of “deniable” encryption, in which you can plausibly convince an attacker that you sent an entirely different message from the one you really sent”.
Also re: ““functional” encryption, in which you can give chosen users different levels of access to perform computations using your data.” it would be interesting if SAFE data permissions could be baked dire…
