Special Guests
Paul Syverson is a mathematician at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory's Center for High Assurance Computer Systems, where he has been working on the theory, design, and analysis of security and privacy systems for over 17 years. His inventions include the award-winning onion routing system, and he is the designer of all onion routing systems to date including Tor, the latest system. Syverson has been chair of nine international conferences and workshops on security and privacy including the 2007 ACM Computer and Communications Security Conference. He is author of the book Logic, Convention, and Common Knowledge, editor of many volumes on security and privacy, and author of many dozens of papers published in refereed conferences and journals. He has served on boards and steering committees of various technical organizations and has been visiting scholar or faculty at academic institutions in the United States, England, and Italy. He holds a bachelor’s in philosophy from Cornell and a master’s in mathematics and a master’s and doctorate in philosophy from Indiana University.
Roger Dingledine is a security and privacy researcher. While at MIT, he developed Free Haven, one of the early peer-to-peer systems that emphasized resource management while retaining anonymity for its users. He is best known for leading the Tor project, an anonymous communication system for the Internet that has been supported by such diverse groups as the Navy, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Voice of America. He organizes academic conferences on anonymity, speaks at many industry and hacker events, and also does tutorials on anonymity for national and foreign law enforcement. Last year, Technology Review magazine identified Dingledine as one of the top 35 innovators under the age of 35. SummaryYour host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Paul Syverson and Roger Dingledine, and the topic will be "Tor: Anonymity and Access to Services Despite Censorship" Tor is an overlay network for anonymizing interactive communications such as web browsing, remote login, and chat. Originally designed by and for the Naval Research Laboratory to protect government communications, Tor has grown to a network of about a thousand volunteer-operated nodes around the globe and a user base of hundreds of thousands protecting their corporate, educational, military, law enforcement, and individual activities. The nonprofit Tor Project has also been funded by various sources to promote human rights and fight censorship. In this presentation we will describe Tor and its application in these areas. In particular we will focus on the design of hidden services, which can be accessed from anywhere even though the client does not know the server's location. This makes them difficult to attack or block. We will also focus on the recently-developed design for blocking resistance that provides clients access to Tor and the Internet in general in circumstances when access to public resources is restricted.
