As part of this release, the core of proposal 224 has been + implemented and is available for experimentation and testing by our + users. This newer version of onion services (v3) features various + improvements over the legacy system: + a) Better crypto (replaced SHA1/DH/RSA1024 with SHA3/ed25519/curve25519) + b) Improved directory protocol leaking less to directory servers. + c) Improved directory protocol with smaller surface for targeted attacks. + d) Better onion address security against impersonation. + e) More extensible introduction/rendezvous protocol. + f) A cleaner and more modular codebase. + + Furthermore, as part of this update, onion addresses increase in length + and are now 56 characters long: + 4acth47i6kxnvkewtm6q7ib2s3ufpo5sqbsnzjpbi7utijcltosqemad.onion + + In the future, we will be releasing more options and features but we + first need a testing period, so that the current codebase matures and + becomes more robust. Here are some of the features we have planned: + 1) Offline keys for onion services + 2) Advanced client authorization for onion services + 3) Improved guard algorithm for onion services + 4) Next-gen onion service statistics + + Please see our proposal for more details: + https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/224-rend-spec-ng.txt + + The default version for onion services remains v2 (the legacy system) + until this new codebase gets tested and hardened. + + Service operators who want to experiment with the new system can use the + 'HiddenServiceVersion 3' torrc directive along with the regular onion + service configuration options. + + We will publish a blog post about this new feature soon!
