Hey, interesting idea!
I think I see where Giap was going with his post… Though everything is encrypted, there is still a bit of a footprint left on all the servers between me and the Clipperz servers.
This can leave a pertinent positive indicator that person/IP XYZ is accessing Clipperz. I believe this is why Giap is saying there is no such thing as “zero-knowledge”.
I am thinking that 0-footprint usage of the internet is nigh impossible, and if Giap needs security at that level, maybe he should look at offline security management.
