The team behind the popular torrent site The Pirate Bay has started to work on a new encryption technology that could potentially protect all Internet traffic from prying eyes. The project, which is still in its initial stages, goes by the name “Transparent end-to-end encryption for the Internets,” or IPETEE for short. It tackles encryption not on the application level, but on the network level, the aim being that all data exchanged on your PC would be encrypted, regardless of its nature — be it a web browser streaming video files or an instant messaging client. As Pirate Bay co-founder Fredrik Neij (a.k.a. Tiamo) told me, “Even applications that don’t supporting encryption will be encrypted where possible.”

IMO, I think this is good for all of us. This will add an extra security when surfing or using the net. B-)

Everything would be encrypted? There is no freedom in that decision.

Good news from the good folks over at Pirate Bay! The less monitoring over what we do, the better. And, that includes more than the folks wanting to do conduct illegal activities on the Internet — privacy is a concern for all of us.

If this technology gets developed properly, it would be a great thing. Privacy is important to everyone and I had how it’s so easy to spy on anyones internet use. Send emails? Well they can be spyed on between you and the server and anywhere after.
Surf the web? Well, every site you visit as it is now can be seen by anyone with knowledge of your IP and a simple set of programs. Not hard at all as it is now. Encryption (if it’s good and done right) would solve this security hole.

This is very interesting, I look forward on this technology.

Interesting concept. However, unless there is a back door our enemies could also use this technology against us. We would not be able to monitor their traffic and intercept information that would be harmful to our defense.
On the other hand, if there is a back door, then a hacker would eventually crack the code and the rat race starts again. Or, someone on the inside could potentially leak the code.
Hope you all are able to work this out.

Absolutely great idea and great news not just for file sharers. Well with their being so much news about file sharers being taken to court and even with Pirate Bay being so much in news this was bound to happen and I for one am happy about it.
