1. Introduction
|
|
|
|
While chatting with the Tor archons at the winter meeting, two speed
|
|
optimizations for tor2web mode [1] were put forward. This proposal
|
|
specifies concretizes these two optimizations. As with the current
|
|
tor2web mode, this quickened tor2web mode negates any client
|
|
anonymity.
|
|
|
|
2. Tor2web optimizations
|
|
|
|
2.1. Self-rendezvous
|
|
|
|
In the current tor2web mode, the client establishes a 1-hop circuit
|
|
(direct connection) to a chosen rendezvous point. We propose that,
|
|
alternatively, the client set *itself* as the rendezvous point. This
|
|
coincides with ticket #9685[2].
|
|
|
|
2.2. direct-introduction
|
|
|
|
Identical to the non-tor2web mode, in the current tor2web mode, the
|
|
client establishes a 3-hop circuit to the introduction point. We
|
|
propose that, alternatively, the client builds a 1-hop circuit to the
|
|
introduction point.
