[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.
