Interesting blast from the past. We built an oblivious p2p mesh network that did this in 2010. Back then, nobody cared about security as much as we thought they should. Since then, nobody still cares about security as much as they should. Devices have increased and their value has increased, and still, they are quite insecure. Truly secure endpoints with hardware root-of-trust and secure chains of trust for authn/authz and minimal temporary privileges is still hard, and network perimeter security theater is still ongoing in home networks, corp networks and even large production datacenter networks. Only reason we don't find these to be the primary root-cause for security breaches is because more easier attack chains are still easily available!
