In a word, No. That was not an application we had in mind when we
proposed looking at the question of how to separate identification
from routing in web and other low-latency Internet communication.  The
scientific/technical ideas and the application ideas we had arose
together chicken-and-egg fashion, and I'd be hard pressed to say which
ideas we thought of first. But in any case this was not one of them.
