 Client requests sent to the /client broker endpoint use TLS to the front
 domain, and TLS from the front to the broker, but the fronting service
 itself (e.g. App Engine) can inspect them in plaintext. The fronting
 service unavoidably gets to learn the IP addresses of clients, but we
 could encrypt the additional metadata that appears in the registration
 messages.

 I was thinking of giving the broker a private key and wrapping client
 registrations in a [https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto/nacl/box NaCl
 box].

 This is roughly how it worked in flash proxy. The facilitator had a
 private RSA key, and client registration methods were encrypted before
 being posted to the facilitator.

 The actual key material was isolated into a facilitator-reg-daemon process
 that was separated from the web server and facilitator CGI:
