#Keep old ids in case of incoming links. + <a id="metadataremoval"></a> + <li> + <b>Remove metadata from Tor Browser uploads</b> + <br> + Likely Mentors: <i>Arthur D. Edelstein (arthuredelstein)</i> + <p> + Tor Browser is a privacy-preserving web browser used by millions of + users around the world. We are looking for a programmer fluent in JS + and C++ to implement new features to work closely with the Tor Browser + team. + + Image files, especially photos taken by smartphones, + often carry hidden privacy-violating metadata, typically specified by + the EXIF format. Such metadata can include the user's geolocation and + various unique identifiers. In order to protect the user's identity, + we would like the intern to modify the file-upload feature in Tor + Browser such that metadata in image files is automatically removed + before the image is uploaded to a server. Ideally, the summer intern would + implement this feature for both desktop and mobile Tor Browser. If + there is time, we can envision sanitizing other kinds of uploaded + files, including movies, audio, PDFs and Office documents. + + </p> + <p> + For more information <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24965">see its ticket</a>. + </p> + </li> + <a id="pythonTorClient"></a><a id="pythonTorClient"></a> <li> <b>Python Tor Client</b>
