  7. Re:Peer to Peer suspicous? by UnknownSoldier · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Skype Finalizes Its Move To the Cloud; To Kill Older Clients -- Remains Tight Lipped About Privacy (arstechnica.com)

    > Am I the only one who considered the old Peer to Peer mode of Skype suspicious?

    No. When the Skype client relies heavily on obfuscation it SHOULD be extremely suspicious!

    Skype (almost like every P2P network) has its particular P2P architecture. It had to be adapted to the network uses. For example, unlike the P2P Kazaa network, designed for file sharing, the Skype network had to be optimized to transfer data in real time, where Kazaa network transfers data stored on nodes. In addition, Skype network still includes centralized networks entities, because unlike Kazaa network, Skype protocol had to implement user secured authentication, dynamic contacts lists management and ensure privacy.

    The Skype user directory is entirely decentralized and distributed among the nodes in the network, which means the network can scale very easily to large sizes without a complex and costly centralized infrastructure.

    If M$ kills off Skype 6.20 then it will be time to migrate to something else that is open source and doesn't have known backdoors.
