My goal is to develop secure_ and fully decentralized_ Internet_ systems_ which
can potentially scale to billions of participants.  The challenge is
maintaining the integrity_ and reliability_ of the system without any
`centralized authorities`_ and despite concerted attacks by `malicious
participants`_ with arbitrary numbers of pseudonyms_.
