The Strong Eternity Service

Strong Eternity Service is a safe and very reliable storage for data of high importance. We show how to establish persistent pseudonyms in a totally anonymous environment and how to create a unique fully distributed name-space allowing both computer-efficient and humanacceptable access. We also present a way how to retrieve information from such data storage. We adapt the notion of the mix-network so that it can provide symmetric anonymity to both the client and the server. Finally we propose a system of after-the-act payments that can support operation of the Service without compromising anonymity.
