- o Minor features:
- - Alter the Path Bias log messages to be more descriptive in terms
- of reporting timeouts and other statistics.
- - Create three levels of Path Bias log messages, as opposed to just
- two. These are configurable via consensus as well as via torrc
- options PathBiasNoticeRate, PathBiasWarnRate, PathBiasExtremeRate.
- The default values are 0.70, 0.50, and 0.30 respectively.
- - Separate the log message levels from the decision to drop guards,
- which also is available via torrc option PathBiasDropGuards.
- PathBiasDropGuards defaults to 0 (off).
- - Deprecate PathBiasDisableRate in favor of PathBiasDropGuards
- in combination with PathBiasExtremeRate.
- - Increase the default values for PathBiasScaleThreshold and
- PathBiasCircThreshold from 200 and 20 to 300 and 150, respectively.
- - Add in circuit usage accounting to path bias. If we try to use a
- built circuit but fail for any reason, it counts as path bias.
- Certain classes of circuits where the adversary gets to pick your
- destination node are exempt from this accounting. Usage accounting
- can be specifically disabled via consensus parameter or torrc.
- - Convert all internal path bias state to double-precision floating
- point, to avoid roundoff error and other issues.
- - Only record path bias information for circuits that have completed
- *two* hops. Assuming end-to-end tagging is the attack vector, this
- makes us more resilient to ambient circuit failure without any
- detection capability loss.

- o Minor features:
- - Improve circuit build timeout handling for hidden services.
- In particular: adjust build timeouts more accurately depending
- upon the number of hop-RTTs that a particular circuit type
- undergoes. Additionally, launch intro circuits in parallel
- if they timeout, and take the first one to reply as valid.

- o Major features:
- - Preliminary support for directory guards: when possible,
- clients now use guards for non-anonymous directory requests.
- This can help prevent client enumeration. Note that this
- behavior only works when we have a usable consensus directory:
- and when options about what to download are more or less
- standard. Implements proposal 207; closes ticket 6526.

- o Major features:
-
- - Tor now supports a new circuit extension handshake designed by Ian
- Goldberg, Douglas Stebila, and Berkant Ustaoglu. Our original
- circuit extension handshake, later called "TAP", was a bit slow
- (especially on the server side), had a fragile security proof, and
- used weaker keys than we'd now prefer. The new circuit handshake
- uses Dan Bernstein's "curve25519" elliptic-curve Diffie-Hellman
- function, making it significantly more secure than the older
- handshake, and significantly faster. Tor can either use one of two
- built-in pure-C curve25519-donna implementations by Adam Langley,
- or link against the "nacl" library for a tuned version if present.
-
- The built-in version is very fast for 64-bit systems building with
- GCC. (About 10-14x faster on the server side, and about 7x faster
- on the client side.) The built-in 32-bit version is still faster
- than the old TAP protocol (about 3x), but using libnacl would be
- better on most 32-bit x86 hosts.
-
- Clients don't currently use this protocol by default, since
- comparatively few clients support it so far. To try it, set
- UseNTorHandshake to 1.
-
- Implements proposal 216; closes ticket #7202.
-
- - Tor servers and clients now support a better CREATE/EXTEND cell
- format, allowing the sender to specify multiple address, identity,
- and handshake types. Implements Robert Ransom's proposal 200;
- closes ticket #7199.
-
- o Code simplification and refactoring:
- - Split the onion.c file into separate modules for the onion queue
- and the different handshakes it supports.
- - Remove the marshalling/unmarshalling code for sending requests to
- cpuworkers over a socket, and instead just send structs. The
- recipient will always be the same Tor binary as the sender, so
- any encoding is overkill.
-
- o Testing:
- - Add benchmark functions to test onion handshake performance.

- o Major features:
-
- - Servers can now enable the ECDHE TLS ciphersuites when available
- and appropriate. These ciphersuites let us negotiate forward-
- secure TLS secret keys more safely and more efficiently than with
- our previous use of Diffie Hellman modulo a 1024-bit prime.
- By default, public servers prefer the (faster) P224 group, and
- bridges prefer the (more common) P256 group; you can override this
- with the TLSECGroup option.
-
- Enabling these ciphers was a little tricky, since for a long
- time, clients had been claiming to support them without
- actually doing so, in order to foil fingerprinting. But with
- the client-side implementation of proposal 198 in
- 0.2.3.17-beta, clients can now match the ciphers from recent
- firefox versions *and* list the ciphers they actually mean, so
- servers can believe such clients when they advertise ECDHE
- support in their TLS ClientHello messages.
-
- This feature requires clients running 0.2.3.17-beta or later,
- and requires both sides to be running OpenSSL 1.0.0 or later
- with ECC support. OpenSSL 1.0.1, with the compile-time option
- "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128", is highly recommended.
- Implements the server side of proposal 198; closes ticket
- 7200.
