One more question, I see that the implementation you posted ( https://github.com/grnet/ac16) is in Python. Since computational time is of the essence, should I assume that the above implementation may be ported to another language (C/C++ perhaps)? Or would that be incompatible with the overall system? 2017-03-19 23:13 GMT+02:00 Panos Louridas <louridas [ at ] grnet [ dot ] gr>: > > > On 19 Mar 2017, at 20:53, John Tsioris <jtsioris [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com> wrote: > > > > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > From: John Tsioris <jtsioris [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com> > > Date: 2017-03-19 15:28 GMT+02:00 > > Subject: Re: [opensource-devs] GSOC 2017 - Zeus Project > > To: Panos Louridas <louridas [ at ] grnet [ dot ] gr> > > > > > > Hello again, > > and thank you for your previous reply. > > In the wiki section about the mixnet implementations in Zeus, it says: > "Therefore we seek to implement or enhance or test different mixnets in > order to replace the current mixnet algorithm in Zeus". > > Could you describe in greater detail the drawbacks of the current mixnet > algorithm (I assume it lacks efficiency)? > > Exactly.
