Re: [GSoC] Improving Snakes on a Tor

 The way
 to do better at that one is to teach users and service providers about
 end-to-end authentication and encryption.

 From what I've seen I don't think there is any realistic hope for any
 significant number of web pages to be served with end-to-end encryption (not
 sure what your reference is to end-to-end authentication) in the foreseeable
 future.

I take it that you don't consider HTTPS to be end-to-end encryption
then? Because I don't see why it would be unlikely for at least
sensitive websites to switch to HTTPS.

Of course HTTPS is end-to-end encryption!  And, of course, it is already 
used some.  We apparently have different assements of what the future 
holds and how quickly.  Time will tell ...

Re: Help translate Orbot

2010-05-15 Thread W
Wow Runa, while I unfortunately can't help with any translations, I just want 
to say that that app looks wonderful and wish you the best of luck with it. 
Wish I had something like that on my iPhone!

 As many of you probably know, Tor is available for Android by
 installing a package named Orbot:
 https://www.torproject.org/docs/android.html. Right now, Orbot is only
 available in English and Spanish, but I am hoping that this will
 change really soon.
 
 I have added Orbot to the Tor translation portal, along with the
 following languages: Norwegian, German, Spanish, French and Polish.
 See https://translation.torproject.org/projects/orbot/. Please send an
 email to tor-translat...@torproject.org if you want me to add another
 language.
 
 Thanks,

In this case, purposely 'shaping' the traffic so that it looks like something 
other than what it actually is (ie, not Tor traffic).
