Dear all,
I'm currently an undergraduate student double BSc Applied Mathematics/Computer
Science. This year I'll be doing a small (~500 hour) research project as part
of my Honor track. I'm looking for a suitable research question I can try to
answer, preferrably by using mathematical modeling. To give you an idea what
kind of research I was planning to do, I briefly described my current idea
below.
I was considering researching path selection, specifically the probability of
selecting only faulty/malicious nodes and how this might be improved by
including an extra reputation metric. This hypothetical reputation metric would
be a "social" like reputation, based on for example real-world connections
between people. In the most extreme case, one could choose a path of which all
nodes are ran by real-world trusted people.
As there might be a more usefull research question out there, I was wondering
whether there are any questions that the Tor Project has that might be answered
by using mathematical modelling. I could then consider to try and answer this
question in my research project.
Thanks in advance.
