silvertunnel.org - Another Tor in Java Implementation

[Hapke <hapke9@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

with this mail I would like to introduce the silvertunnel project 
(http://silvertunnel.org/) to you. Silvertunnel was started few months 
ago to continue the work on a Java implementation of Tor. It is based on 
the original OnionCoffee source code - a new project was created because 
we couldn't get any contact to the original developers, so we expected 
that OnionCoffee will not be continued. The silvertunnel code now 
contains several security and stability improvements (e.g. logic to 
check signatures of the consensus which was missing in OnionCoffee).

The silvertunnel project has two development goals: an easy to use Java 
library to access the Tor network  (with as few dependencies as possible 
to simplify usage of the lib) and a simple to use web browser to surf 
through Tor network. It is not intended to develop a Tor-Proxy with GUI 
like the (original) OnionCoffee project. The implementation is also not 
intended to be specific for mobile devices.

Your feedback is welcome!

With best regards
