Core Tor January 2016 report Our biggest achievement for January is continued improvements to our testing implementation for our improved guard node selection process.
This has exposed lots of new areas for research, and showed that some of our original assumptions about what would be important are less important than we thought. We're revising this as we continue, and looking for more . We finished and deployed the fallback directories subsystem, to reduce default load on directory authorities and make it so clients no longer need to know authority IPs. It's on by default in 0.2.8.1-alpha. Eventually, this will let us hide authorities better in order to make them more DoS resistant, as per proposal 257. Work on our Ed25519 implementation has continued, though the protocol-side improvements are not yet merged. We hope to land those in 0.2.8, or early in 0.2.9 at the latest. We've been taking a slow spell in writing documentation, but expect to write more as we onboard some student developers over the next several months, based on their questions.
