I would also like to be able to set up DNS records for hidden services, so for example I could add MX+SRV records for a .onion address so we can more easily do XMPP federation and SMTP between hidden services. I would like to set up my own hidden SMTP service and have an address like: mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If I could add TXT records to the onion address then I could use PKA to publish my public PGP key in the DNS by creating a TXT record like: mike@alfa:~$ dig +short txt mike._pka.1234567890123456.onion "v=pka1\;fpr=35BCAF1D3AA21F843DC3B0CF70A5F5120018461F\;uri=http://1234567890123456.onion/0018461F.pub.asc"; mike@alfa:~$ As described here: https://grepular.com/Publishing_PGP_Keys_in_the_DNS People might create Internet gateways for incoming email in a similar manner to the way http://tor2web.org/ works so that non-hidden SMTP servers would be able to contact me using addresses like: mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tor2web.org would then accept this incoming email and forward it on to the MX records that I've published for 1234567890123456.onion. Similar things could be done for XMPP. -- Mike Cardwell https://grepular.com/ http://cardwellit.com/ OpenPGP Key 35BC AF1D 3AA2 1F84 3DC3 B0CF 70A5 F512 0018 461F XMPP OTR Key 8924 B06A 7917 AAF3 DBB1 BF1B 295C 3C78 3EF1 46B4
