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!
