In my mind, a fundamental requirement to the success of such a freedom box
would be some sort of distributed, decentralized naming system.  I recall
that Antoine mentioned distributed hash tables at DebConf.

Maybe there could be something like Tor Hidden Services, minus the anonymity
and bolstered by certifications and Monkeysphere-like validation.
