My goal is now to let Vidalia configure those Hidden Services, give a Service provider the possibility to create User Authorization data(.onion adress and a descriptor cookie) for each user he wants to access the service. Additionally there should be the option to store authorization data needed to access other hidden services in Vidalia. So a Service Provider has then the opportunity to create individual authorization data for single users and it would be no problem to exclude users from a service if he wants to let them no longer access the service.</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; ">As a few of you may have noticed I uploaded the first prototype of my Google Summer of Code Project.
