I'm a master's student at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada) where I'm primarily researching anonymous systems and censorship. I would be delighted to contribute to pluggable transports.
Of particular interest is image and audio data stenography - is anything is in the works for this or is it outdated? My aim is to add this functionality while fully testing and evaluating it as part of my thesis project. I refer to the list of idea suggestions here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/PluggableTransports/ideas
As far as I am aware (nb: haven't been keeping up with research in this area), no one has come up with a good solution to the issues mentioned in:
Geddes, J., Schuchard, M., Hopper, N., "Cover Your ACKs: Pitfalls of Covert Channel Censorship Circumvention".
