#31787: Full HMM support for circuit padding state transition -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: (none) mikeperry | Type: | Status: new enhancement | Priority: Medium | Milestone: Component: Core | Version: Tor/Tor | Keywords: circpad-researchers-maybe-want, Severity: Normal | wtf-pad Actual Points: | Parent ID: Points: | Reviewer: Sponsor: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- The circuit padding state transition system is quasi-deterministic. A non- deterministic state machine can be built from this using many states through clever use of the infinity bin, but this will lead to excessively complicated machines.
One can imagine a non-deterministic state machine/HMM that simulates an entire web browsing session on a circuit. If this kind of machine seems useful, it may be better simply to transform the circpad_state_t.next_state transition field into an array of structs that specifies the next state as well as a probability for transitioning to that state for that event. We would accept patches for this modification if it seems useful. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31787> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
