Question wrt TLS 1.3: Is it lots of work to support TLS 1.3? And what do we gain by supporting it? Should we prioritize it for this release or for a subsequent one?

I don't know how much time I will have to work on IPv6 in 0.3.4. But I can prioritise reviewing proposals and code, and revising my existing code. Here are some dependencies: HSv3 IPv6 needs relays to allow IPv6 extends: #24404 Propose a relay protover that allows IPv6 extends We also wanted to make relays do IPv6 extends first, to create cover traffic: #24403 Propose and implement IPv6 ORPort reachability checks on relays But we can use a consensus parameter instead: #24868 Check a consensus parameter before activating onion service IPv6 features T ___ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev

On my part, I plan to have some scheduler refactoring/changes that requires quite a bit of changes in the scheduler architecture but overall should simplify greatly things with Vanilla and KIST (and future schedulers). - Parent ticket: #23993 All child tickets are fixes that need to happen for this. - This will touch also our circuit multiplexing and the connection subystem as well (mostly how the outbuf interacts with the scheduler). The other part would be IPv6 for HSv3. This includes: - Unify link specifier API/ABI (#22781) - Put IPv6 link specifiers in client EXTEND cells (#24451) - Put IPv6 and unrecognised link specifiers in onion service EXTEND cells (#24181) - Put IPv6 link specifier in HS descriptor. (not ticket afaict). There is a huge amount of IPv6 tickets with different tasks, I'll create a top level parent "Hidden service v3 IPv6 support" ticket and child many tickets related to this because right now it is hella confusing so we can consolidate in one place and track progress there. It should also include single onion. It will for sure touches other part of Tor that aren't HS specific so hopefully we can overlap this with useful IPv6 implementation work. That is it for now, in terms of features, I think this is reasonable to be completed and merged in the next 3 months for 034 merge window. Cheers!

We expect at least one more proposal for the PrivCount counter config format. #22898: Help get privcount standardized and merged #23147: prop288: Merge privcount-in-tor data collector backend implementation #25153: Specify how PrivCount in Tor statistics are configured and interpreted As a stretch, we could implement part of the Tally Reporters (see prop#288).

There are a lot of other things I'd like to do in 0.3.4, but I think I should focus on PrivCount in Tor.

Re: [tor-dev] Enhancement for Tor 0.3.4.x
If its just a wishlist I would love to see 1. More multithreading for Tor. 2. new technology against traffic correlation/confirmation attacks by adding some mixing features like I said long ago: Relay operators with great RAM set the flag mixing for their relays. These relays could be used as normal or mixing relays (delaying packets, mixing them and sending more noise data maybe?). Tor clients will have to specify if they want to build a normal circuit connection (fast) or a mixing connection, slow, but more anonymous. 3. a config value for forbidding that all nodes in a circuit be from the same country (to make traffic analysis harder..., some countries like UK seems to be using it already). 4. An easy way for people to setup a home relay from their computer? For Windows users? As more and more users get access to Fiber with symmetric speed, the slow speed and asymmetric problem is not here anymore. IDK.

My biggest additional wishlist items for 0.3.4 are: * ZSTD tuning (#24368) * Fewer wakeups when idle (#14039) And as a reach: * Improved TLS 1.3 support We should also keep in mind that as we accumulate these goals, we might also need to pare them down if they start to get out of hand. -- Nick ___ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
