+# Tor Padding Specification
+
+Mike Perry, George Kadianakis
+
+Note: This is an attempt to specify Tor as currently implemented. Future
+versions of Tor will implement improved algorithms.
+
+This document tries to cover how Tor chooses to use cover traffic to obscure
+various traffic patterns from external and internal observers. Other
+implementations MAY take other approaches, but implementors should be aware of
+the anonymity and load-balancing implications of their choices.
