[tor-dev] Website Fingerprinting Defense via Traffic Splitting

[Daniel Forster <daniel.forster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Guys,

it would be great if I could get a few opinions regarding my upcoming 
master thesis topic.

My supervisor is Andriy Panchenko (you may know some of his work from 
Mike Perry's critique on website fingerprinting attacks).
As a defense, we'd like to experiment with traffic splitting (like 
conflux- split traffic over multiple entry guards, but already merging 
at the middle relay) and padding.

I know that the no. of entry guards got decreased from three to one.
May it be worth the research or is the approach heading in a not so 
great direction w.r.t. the Tor Project's "only one entry node" decision? 
Or, actually, what do you think in general..?

Thanks,

Daniel
