IIP 1.1.0 released (reformatted as plain text)

[Steve Schear]

Changes: In this version the installation for Unix is enhanced, entropy 
generation is improved and a few bugs are fixed.

Background
The Invisible IRC Project (IIP) was originally created so that people 
interested in facilitating privacy and free speech could work to these ends 
in an equally secure and anonymous environment. It has now become a haven 
for anyone seeking anonymous, encrypted Internet Relay Chat. The project's 
inspiration arose primarily from a shared interest in the Freenet Project 
and a desire to provide the real-time communications capabilities that 
Freenet could not.

IIP features:
·       Perfect Forward Security using Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Protocol
·       Constant session key rotation
·       128 bit Blowfish node-to-node encryption
·       160 bit Blowfish end-to-end encryption
·       Chaffed traffic to thwart traffic analysis
·       Secure dynamic routing using cryptographically signed namespaces 
for node identification
·       Node level flood control
·       Seamless use of standard IRC clients
·       Gui interface
·       Peer distributed topology for protecting the identity of users
·       Completely modular in design, all protocols are plug-in capable

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace
alarmed -- and thus clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing
it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
-- H.L. Mencken
