Suggest you check out Diffie-Hellman key exchange, TKIP, and asymmetric cryptography 
The only way to stop a reasonably implemented encryption scheme is to use session / connection based throttling. There aren't exactly many applications that open as many connections as quickly as a P2P program |
I don't have time to check those out now (but may well do later), but if enough people exchanged keys, surely you still run the risk of the ISP picking that up? |
If its that easily defeated ?, Why would they spend the sort of money that this stuff costs. Unless its not that easy to defeat. ?
My opinion on this is it's NOT that easy to defeat. |
Was that aimed at me? If it was, I was talking about the encryption being offered by P2P clients and how ISPs might detect that. Unless I am much mistaken, the various P2P authors probably don't spend that much money..
