DarkNet
A darknet, for Freenet purposes, is a network where node connections are created manually by the users of the nodes via invitations. These connections should be made on the basis of mutual trust, friendship, or acquaintance. If they are, then the network should have a small world topology and routing will work, especially since darknet peers are more or less permanent. If the connections are made completely at random, then the network topology will be wrong, and routing will not work.
In darknet mode, Freenet uses location swapping to create a routable network. Unlike opennet, darknet connections are outside of the control of the node. However, the underlying social network will have the correct topology, and so will the resultant darknet. Location swapping is used to assign routable location to nodes on the network.
Security
A darknet is not harvestable because your node reference will never be passed on by the network to any other node. Therefore, an attacker running a darknet node can only see those nodes which he has managed to get invitations to connect to.
Consequently, you are vulnerable primarily to the nodes you are connected to. Thus, it is a good idea to only connect to people you trust, if this is possible.
