my limited understanding of e-speak is that it uses SPKI for privacy
between service endpoints, rather than presenting private IPv4/IPv6
endpoints to which services can bind and communicate (privately).

this is the distinction i find useful: separating the communication
privacy service between peers into a network layer (IPv4/IPv6
endpoints) rather than per application/service at the socket layer.
