As I have said earlier, I don't know Gzz very well yet. That's why it's quite
hard to answer Gzz specific questions (how Gzz *really* differ from existing p2p
systems). But I will try to respond to research questions:

-For research questions a, b, and c, I know what the p2p field has to offer: the
best effort is DHTs with O(log n) (with small variations).

-For d is open, haven't read yet Schneier

-For e, there are some proposals, e.g. SQL-like searchs in DHTs and keyword
searchs. However, this is quite Gzz specific, e.g. Urn-5 etc. (?)

-For f, same algoritmical limits hold true in this too. This is also Gzz
specific and is, at least someway, implentation issue when we have the basic
infrastructure builded (a, b, c)

-For g and h, same as f (?)

-For i, There are some clever implementations for this in Groove. But I don't
know how it can scale in situations where there are *lot* of users. Some other
keywords which might be relevant are SDSI and SPKI. However, I haven't put much
effort on this yet.

If I remember right, a and b was the most important questions, right ?
