[tor-dev] BSc Honor Track Research Topic
Dear all,
I'm currently an
undergraduate student double BSc Applied
Mathematics/Computer Science. This year I'll be doing a small (~500 hour) research
project as part of my Honor track. I'm looking for a suitable research question I can try to answer, preferrably by using mathematical modeling. To give you an idea what kind of research I
was planning to do, I briefly described my current idea below.
I
was considering researching path selection, specifically the
probability of selecting only faulty/malicious nodes and how this might
be improved by including an extra reputation metric. This hypothetical
reputation metric would be a "social" like reputation, based on for
example real-world connections between people. In the most extreme case,
one could choose a path of which all nodes are ran by real-world
trusted people.
As there might be a more usefull research question out there, I was wondering whether
there are any questions that the Tor Project has that might be answered
by using mathematical modelling. I could then consider to try and
answer this question in my research project.
