Admittedly I'm not well versed in TOR and how secure it actually is but surely it would be more actionable for major intelligence agencies to operate a number nodes in the network and use them to attempt to track and mitm requests?
As for encryption I haven't seen much to indicate a deterrence strategy, but maybe I'm not following the media as much as I should.

- mkohlmyr 12y agoFair enough. Thanks for the link.
- Globz 12y agoFunny how they want to investigate Evercookie persistence and use it to identify Tor users. For those of you who doesn't know about Evercookie : http://samy.pl/evercookie/ http://samy.pl/evercookie/ https://github.com/samyk/evercookie https://github.com/samyk/evercookie
- Crito 12y agoIt seems to me that the two tactics could be complementary. If you discourage people from using Tor, then you don't have to devote as many resources to the people that use Tor.
