Yeah, Tor as a whole, and Hidden Services specifically are very vulnerable to traffic analysis attacks.
I'd love to see a project with a real focus on anonymous publishing of content. Tor's original goal was anonymous retrieval of content, with anonymous publishing just added on as a secondary goal.
In order to make anonymous publishing robust against traffic analysis, it may be necessary to sacrifice the "real-time" goal that Tor has.
- api 12y agoIMHO you'd have to distribute the data and the computation so that there is no single point to find.
- contingencies 12y agoAgreed. Some ideas for the resistance of traffic analysis in the provision of Tor hidden services: layered architecture with aggressive caching at edge nodes, non-deterministic latency or update fetch algorithm (eg. random) between nodes, use of push rather than pull (edgier nodes have no knowledge of the location of content-publishing parent, only its key to auth inbound updates as they are supplied from unique addresses periodically) where feasible.
