What are you talking about? The logjam attack just shows that you (spec security experts of major internet companies) are incompetent, or just knew about it. You don't know Tor "plenty well", I am not referring at all to hidden services, the fb case, or the ridiculous related case of a https cert

How about the many of the Tor endpoints being compromised? Does that show a complete failure of Tor? I would say no. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/tor-anonymity-network-compromised-following-potential-raid-by-law-enforcement-agencies-1480620 Most folks who really care about this stuff use Tor and us

You must be kidding, the logjam attack showed the complete failure of TLS and your 1/2/3 (notwithstanding the useless discussions about CAs & co), which does not apply to the Tor protocol that you don't know apparently but that fulfills 1/2/3 I am not a Tor advocate, this is just an example illust

Not sure that you know what you are talking about here, maybe influenced by fb's onion things, or you misunderstood what I wrote. I am not talking about the Tor network, neither the Hidden services, I am talking about the Tor protocol itself, that's different and it is known to be strong, but this

“Secure against which threats?” is the question. TLS, with its stronger crypto, is more secure against an adversary that wants to read the content of your messages. ToR is more secure against an adversary that wants to detect that you visit a particular site, are associated with particular socia

I don't think there is universal agreement among browser engineers (if anyone agrees at all) with your assertion that the Tor protocol or even Tor hidden services are "more secure than TLS". TLS in modern browsers requires RSA 2048-bit or equivalent authentication, 128-bit symmetric key confidenti

Redirecting this to WebApps since it's probable that we are facing a design mistake that might amplify by deprecating non TLS connections.
