Title: Making Tor2Web mode faster
Author: Virgil Griffith, Fabio Pietrosanti, Giovanni Pellerano
Created: 2014-03-27
Status: Open
1. Introduction
While chatting with the Tor archons at the winter meeting, two speed
optimizations for tor2web mode [1] were put forward. This proposal specifies
concretizes these two optimizations. As with the current tor2web mode, this
quickened tor2web mode negates any client anonymity.
2. Tor2web optimizations
2.1) self-rendezvous
In the current tor2web mode, the client establishes a 1-hop circuit (direct
connection) to a chosen rendezvous point. We propose that, alternatively,
the client set *itself* as the rendezvous point. This coincides with ticket
#9685[2].
2.2) direct-introduction
Identical to the non-tor2web mode, in the current tor2web mode, the
client establishes a 3-hop circuit to the introduction point.
We propose that, alternatively, the client builds a 1-hop circuit to
the introduction point.
