+ <b>Remove metadata from Tor Browser uploads</b>
+ <br>
+ Likely Mentors: <i>Arthur D. Edelstein (arthuredelstein)</i>
+ <p>
+ Tor Browser is a privacy-preserving web browser used by millions of
+ users around the world. We are looking for a programmer fluent in JS
+ and C++ to implement new features to work closely with the Tor Browser
+ team.
+
+ Image files, especially photos taken by smartphones,
+ often carry hidden privacy-violating metadata, typically specified by
+ the EXIF format. Such metadata can include the user's geolocation and
+ various unique identifiers. In order to protect the user's identity,
+ we would like the intern to modify the file-upload feature in Tor
+ Browser such that metadata in image files is automatically removed
+ before the image is uploaded to a server. Ideally, the summer intern would
+ implement this feature for both desktop and mobile Tor Browser. If
+ there is time, we can envision sanitizing other kinds of uploaded
+ files, including movies, audio, PDFs and Office documents.
