Piles of ideas flying around my head:
* Best architecture and a draft protocol for a distributed cloud desktop system. Uses a DHT and spins up destops for users. Pages of scribbles…
* Just finished the spec for an RFB interpretation of OpenID. Only needs server cleverness! Key is writing a protocol for a server to forward key components to a broker. My version now works with a Relying Party behind a firewall or NAT, via a broker. Hope to get buy-in for hosting one at www.realvnc.com!
* More rounds of tweaks to RA3, my new security type for RFB I’m pushing. Addition of rekeying phase drafted to solve concerns over known-ciphertext replay after session-hopping code from #1 above implemented.
* Brian gave me a long explanation of some clever algorithms we use for our hosted services. Seem awesome and cutting edge.
* Back to considering how to gather and propagate peer adjacency information for tricks like WOL auto-magic. Ultra-distributed wide-area Bonjour wakeup! Like Apple but potentially better.
