somewhere in the DHT, there should be some kind of "telephone book": basically a mapping from strings to DHT-Ids, covering the following use cases:

what's the ID of the owner of an e-mail-address?
what's the ID of the owner of a mobile number?
what's the ID of the a name?

Since all the data in the DHT can be accessed/read by anybody, is there a way to somewhat encrypt this map? For example map hashes of an email/phone#/username to DHT-Ids?

+1 for hashes!
