Tor Anonymity Software vs. the National Security Agency

Ahum. Il faut en penser quoi, selon toi @fil ? J’avoue ma perplexité.

Moi-même personnellement j’en pense que le Département d’État connaît la véritable identité de celui qui se cache derrière le pseudonyme « @fil »… Hum hum…

tiens Tor fait enfin savoir que SRI l’a financé :

Tor Anonymity Software vs. the National Security Agency - Businessweek 23/01/14

Paul Syverson at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington is one of the world’s foremost researchers on encrypting and routing data and one of Tor’s creators. He works in the lab’s Center for High Assurance Computer Systems, where a joke nameplate outside his office reads “cryptologicist.” I meet him in December in an all-purpose room stuffed with detritus, including a vacuum cleaner, half-dead plants, some battered cardboard boxes, and shelves crammed with old journals. White dust from a chalkboard scrawled over with formulas covers the floor and chairs.

Syverson, 55, has a Ph.D. in philosophy and looks distinctly unmilitary in an oversize flannel shirt and cargo pants. “The thing we had in mind when we started working on it was to protect government workers going on the public Internet,” he says, specifically analysts doing open-source intelligence gathering. That was in 1995, the Internet’s infancy. By 1996 the research lab had a publicly accessible onion routing system in place, hosted on a Navy server with virtual relays, to demonstrate the concept.
