Higher latency, in and of itself, does not provide any resistance to traffic analysis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering) Higher global jitter might help, but circuit orientation at guards and exits through to the clients seems to nullify that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jitter For which an idea may to become packet switching, which is really no longer Tor. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_switching Link padding seems the next real step but I've not put enough reading to it, only have idea to read about. Nor do I yet review about Tor padding proposal as sufficient or not, sorry. As it is not the Tor original model design maybe some other network will take this analysis / padding issue up before then. I've no idea. _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
