Regarding the «Noise over TCP (uplink to storage node)» document

You’re right! But also as you say, the data is encrypted with the storage node’s key, so you would have to have the storage node’s key to be able to decrypt it, which in some sense does provide the secrecy you’d expect if you only wanted to send the data to that node.

This is a good idea, and assuming there isn’t too much clock drift in the network, this is probably worth adding to some of the commands that aren’t already protected by Orders/OrderLimits, which essentially provide this functionality already.

Good points!

I just started a new thread for the two design docs in question here: Two new blueprints/design drafts seeking feedback: Replacing TLS with Noise and TCP_FASTOPEN.
