HOT - HOPPET TILL TOR

HOT is a made-up short for the Swedish project name ‘Hoppet till Tor’, roughly translatable to ‘The hope/jump to Tor’. This project focuses on the first connection from a user’s computer into the Tor network. The goal of this project is to experimentally evaluate and customize one or more pluggable transports for Tor to protect against website fingerprinting attacks.

HOT runs for one year, starting January 2016, and participants in the project are Tobias Pulls and Stefan Lindskog at Karlstad University together with Philipp Winter and Nick Feamster at Princeton University.

Projektet finansieras av Internetfonden.
