Proposal 362: Update onion service proof-of-work control loop
by Wesley Aptekar-Cassels 06 May '25

06 May '25

https://spec.torproject.org/proposals/362-update-pow-control-loop.html This proposal suggests a new algorithm for onion services to use to select the suggested effort value for the proof-of-work algorithm. The existing algorithm has some weaknesses, mostly stemming from the fact that the same request sent at different points in time might have different effects on the new suggested effort. The proposed algorithm is based in a more fundamental analysis of the goals of the control loop. Please feel free to open tickets on GitLab, discuss in the tracking ticket, torspec#329, or discuss here. :w

Proposal 361: Onion Association SANs in Certificates (OASIC)
by Micah Anderson 06 May '25

06 May '25

https://spec.torproject.org/proposals/361-oasic.html This proposal describes Onion Association standardization, authenticated by TLS certificates. It specifies how this association is encoded in the certificate's Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field, providing meaningful SAN-based Onion Association authentication. This proposal was written by Paul Syverson, I'm announcing it on his behalf. Feel free to open tickets on gitlab, discuss here, or also on the Tor Forum. -- Micah Anderson (he/him) Director of Engineering The Tor Project, Inc. <https://torproject.org>
