I answered some questions about this tender for theRunet: http://www.therunet.com/articles/3343-chto-nuzhno-znat-ob-anonimnoy-seti-tor > http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-28526021 > The Russian interior ministry made the offer, saying the aim was "to > ensure the country's defence and security". False, that quote relates to restriction on proposals by foreigners. The tender (including all documentation) is only open to Russian organizations with clearance. > The contest is only open to Russians and proposals are due by 13 August. It is not a contest (incorrect literal translation), but a tender for performing scientific research on “possibility of recovering technical information about users (user equipment) of anonymous Tor network”. The description has been made much more laconic on July 25, apparently in response to media attention. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
