Operational Security

[numE <numE@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

while reading this:
http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/
i had an idea i wanted to share with you.

what about building an dedicated tor operating system.

for example a boot image based on:
http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/
or
http://www.trustedbsd.org/


preconfigured with disk and swap encryption,
preconfigured with tor running in a chroot... etc.

this would increase tor's security a lot.
maybe servers running this special "tor-linux" could have
their own version number etc... so users have the ability to
check for (at least on the software-side) highly secured nodes.

another benefit:
setting up such a system would be quite easy...
download... burn to a dvd.... but from the dvd..
install... set node name.. etc... done.

what do you think?

greetings.
