Once proposal 124 (modified TLS handshake) is in place, we should
consider doing the switch. This might even be in the 0.2.0.x timeframe.
+3.8. Do we need a second layer of entry guards?
+
+ If the bridge user uses the bridge as its entry guard, then the
+ triangulation attacks from Lasse and Paul's Oakland paper work to
+ locate the user's bridge(s).
+
+ Worse, this is another way to enumerate bridges: if the bridge users
+ keep rotating through second hops, then if you run a few fast servers
+ (and avoid getting considered an Exit or a Guard) you'll quickly get
+ a list of the bridges in active use.
+
+ That's probably the strongest reason why bridge users will need to
+ pick second-layer guards. Would this mean bridge users should switch
+ to four-hop circuits?
+
+ We should figure this out in the 0.2.1.x timeframe.
