We're developing Tor (tor.eff.org), a tool for strong anonymity and privacy on the Internet. Funded by the DoD and the EFF, Tor is a distributed overlay network of privacy servers around the world. First half: Introduction to the theory and designs that make anonymity networks work, and a discussion of the technical choices from the earliest designs of the 1980s to today. Second half: Experiences deploying anonymity, including backing, adoption, law enforcement issues, abuse, anti-abuse measures, usability, co-existing with other systems, censorious governments, and creating incentives for people to help privacy. We'll also discuss threats to anonymous networks from legal, social, and technical avenues. %-----------------------------------------------------------------------------% \subsection*{Inessential Matlab} \addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Inessential Matlab} Chris Porter, sipb-iap-matlab@mit.edu \\ Wed Jan 25, 05:30-07:30pm, 4-231\\ No enrollment limit, no advance sign up.
