this proposal suggests changes to the hidden service descriptor format to
prevent new security threats coming from decentralization and to gain even
better security properties.
+
+Status:
+
+ As of December 2007, the new hidden service descriptor format is implemented
+ and usable. However, servers and clients do not yet make use of descriptor
+ cookies, because there are open usability issues of this feature that might
+ be resolved in proposal 121. Further, hidden service directories do not
+ perform replication by themselves, because (unauthorized) replica fetch
+ requests would allow any attacker to fetch all hidden service descriptors in
+ the system. As neither issue is critical to the functioning of v2
+ descriptors and their distribution, this proposal is considered as Closed.

+3. Hidden service directory operation
+
+ This section has been introduced with the v2 hidden service descriptor
+ format. It contains all operations of a v2 hidden service directory that
+ are required for the protocol described in section 1 to succeed with v2
+ hidden service descriptors.
+
+3.1. Configuring as hidden service directory
+
+ Every onion router that has its directory port open can decide whether it
+ wants to store and serve hidden service descriptors. An onion router which
+ is configured as such includes the "hidden-service-dir" flag in its router
+ descriptors that it sends to directory authorities.
+
+ The directory authorities include a new flag "HSDir" for routers that
+ decided to provide storage for hidden service descriptors and that are
+ running for at least 24 hours.
+
+3.2. Accepting publish requests
+
+ Hidden service directory nodes accept publish requests for v2 hidden service
+ descriptors and store them to their local memory. (It is not necessary to
+ make descriptors persistent, because after disconnecting, the onion router
+ would not be accepted as storing node anyway, because it has not been
+ running for at least 24 hours.) All requests and replies are formatted as
+ HTTP messages. Requests are contained within BEGIN_DIR cells, directed to
+ the router's directory port, and formatted as HTTP POST requests to the URL
+ "/tor/rendezvous2/publish" relative to the hidden service directory's root,
+ containing as its body a v2 service descriptor.
+
+ A hidden service directory node parses every received descriptor and only
+ stores it when it thinks that it is responsible for storing that descriptor
+ based on its own routing table. See section 1.4 for more information on how
+ to determine responsibility for a certain descriptor ID.
+
+3.3. Processing fetch requests
+
+ Hidden service directory nodes process fetch requests for hidden service
+ descriptors by looking them up in their local memory. (They do not need to
+ determine if they are responsible for the passed ID, because it does no harm
+ if they deliver a descriptor for which they are not (any more) responsible.)
+ All requests and replies are formatted as HTTP messages. Requests are
+ contained within BEGIN_DIR cells, directed to the router's directory port,
+ and formatted as HTTP GET requests for the document "/tor/rendezvous2/<z>",
+ where z is replaced with the encoding of the descriptor ID.
