Achieving any substantial code coverage will require us to figure out how to unit test curses components.</li> - <li>Onionoo provides additional relay information that could enrich our connection panel such as geoip and rdns. Trick is that at present we can only query it on a per-relay basis which would leak our connections (no-go for security).

CONIKS does this by requiring providers to manage -tamper-evident, publicly-auditable key directories, which contain mappings from -usernames to public keys, on behalf of their users. This design makes it easier -for users (both "default" users and power users) to establish trust since they -don't have to worry about or even see keys, but users also don't have to -trust the provider to be well-behaved because the CONIKS client can run as -part of the secure messaging app and automatically check that the service -provider doesn’t map spurious keys to their users' usernames, and it can -verify that observed name-to-key mappings are consistent with what other -clients in the system are seeing. Unlike existing key transparency solutions, -CONIKS also provides strong privacy guarantees by employing cryptographic -primitives for robust data obfuscation. - - - -The CONIKS system design, protocols, and proof-of-concept are described in -great detail in the <a -href="https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity15/sec15-paper…">CONIKS -research paper</a>, and basic reference implementations of a CONIKS key server -and a CONIKS client are avialable on <a -href="https://github.com/coniks-sys/coniks-ref-implementation">Github</a>. - - - -This project has two main components: (1) designing and implementing a CONIKS -key server tailored to Tor Messenger users, and (2) building a CONIKS client -which integrates with the Tor Messenger client. One challenge the applicant -will face is ensuring that the key server design is efficient and scalable for -large volumes of users, concurrent traffic and guarantees this scalability even -as Tor Messenger's user base grows. On the client side, the main challenges -will be to focus on space efficiency as well as minimizing computational -overhead when implementing the CONIKS consistency checks, and determining how -to best communicate CONIKS consistency check results to users in the UI. Since -Tor Messenger does not hand out online identities per se, as most online -communication services do (like, say, Twitter, in which each user has a unique -handle), the CONIKS key server for Tor Messenger will have to map usernames -from third-party communication services to the encryption keys used in Tor -Messenger.

[keywords: Vidalia, control - protocol].</li> - <li>Adapt the Tails boot process to allow switching to "server - mode" when appropriate.</li> - <li>Add support, to the Tails persistence setup process, for asking an - encryption passphrase without X, and possibly with a broken keyboard - and/or screen [keywords: local network, SSL/TLS?, certificate?].</li> - </ul> - - This project can easily grow quite large, so the first task would - probably be to clarify what it would need to get an initial (minimal - but working) implementation ready to be shipped to users. - This project does not require to be an expert in one specific field, - but it requires to be experienced and at ease with a large scope of - software development tools, processes, and operating system knowledge. - Undertaking this project requires in-depth knowledge of Debian-like - systems (self-test: do the "dpkg conffile" and "debconf preseeding" - words sound new to your ear?); the Debian Live persistence system - being written in shell, being at ease with robust shell scripting is - a must; to end with, at least two pieces of software need to be - written from scratch (a GUI and a webapp): the preferred languages for - these tasks would be Python and Perl. Using Behaviour Driven - Development methods to convey expectations and acceptance criteria - would be most welcome. - For more information see https://tails.boum.org/todo/server_edition/ - </li> - <a id="feedbackExtension"></a> <li> Feedback Extension for Tor Browser
