Hello all.
We've written up our proposal for mnemonic .onion URLs.
See https://docs.google.com/document/d/sT5CulCVl0X5JeOv4W_wC_A/edit?disco=AAAAAE... for details; please read the full intro for explanations and caveats, as some are important.
tl;dr: It's a system that would have all three properties of being secure, distributed, and human-meaningful… but would *not* also have choice of name (though it has the required *canonicality* of names), and has a somewhat absurdist definition of 'meaningful'. :-P
Please feel free to put comments there or on list.
Right now we're at the stage just before implementation; namely, we haven't yet collated the necessary dictionaries, but we have a reasonably good idea of how the system would work, including needed constraints on the dictionaries. If you have suggestions or comments, now is a good time to talk about them, so that if any of it affects the dictionary collation step we don't waste work.
Thanks, Sai
