Veil has two modes. One is a image-based browsing. Another is focused on eliminated RAM artifacts and DNS caches on the operating systems side. I agree there are a lot of solutions, and we don't solve all the problems. The point is that we wanted to challenge the current notion that only browsers can provide incognito mode. We were thinking is there a way for developers to do this since they are the ones delivering the content in the first place.
The point of the paper was to create discussions like this! Thanks for your thoughts. I really appreciate it.
Frank here. I didn't really need the paper to complete grad school. I thought it was a cool project to work on. That's all. There are a lot of solutions to a lot of problems. I'm not claiming it's the best one, just presenting a different way of thinking.
In computer science, there are a few big conferences in a specific CS discipline, I usually attend those conference or look at their programs. But, computer science is a unique field in which papers are funneled through conferences.
I agree. You still run into the same problem because you have to assume these nodes are not malicious. It's even worse because most pools and miners use it. If any node is malicious, everyone will be affected.
