Not sure about this one - I think the use of group keys is orthogonal to 
the use of a friend-to-friend topology. For example Groove uses group 
keys without f2f, Freenet 0.7 will use f2f without group keys, and WASTE 
uses neither (but still fits under the "darknet" umbrella because it's 
invitation-only).
