@nodestar I like the analysis, but wonder about identity spoofing. It is correct that you cannot impersonate a Reticulum address. But how do you share your current hash with others so they start trusting it? A social level impersonation (different hash, same claimed identity) is a valid attack vector too.

A scientifically fair comparison would include TOR that follows the same principles and is three decades older. Or the newest DTN option Bundle Protocol v7.
