Hi!

Here is a copy of my status report for the month of April, as sent to OTF just now. (It's sent today because this is the last day of my OTF Project funding.)

From: isis agora lovecruft isis@patternsinthevoid.net Subject: April 2017 Report for Tor Bridge Distribution Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 20:20:18 +0000 Message-ID: 20170421202018.GB4452@patternsinthevoid.net To: otf-projects@opentechfund.org, otf-active@opentechfund.org Cc: isis agora lovecruft isis@patternsinthevoid.net, Henry de Valence hdevalence@hdevalence.ca

Hello,

The following progress was made in April 2017:

• We redesigned some parts of our protocol, specifically with the aim of improving user experience and making it easier to design user interfaces for it, i.e. making the proofs about the credentials smaller.

• We released a provisional draft of our social bridge distribution protocol, now called Hyphae, including implementation and design notes. [0]

• We designed a RESTful API for Tor Browser to use to automate requests for bridges and reporting that bridges are blocked (cf. Appendix B of [0]).

• We set up a meek-server for BridgeDB, a new Google developer account, and an AppEngine meek reflector, in order to allow automated requests to the new distributor be made in a censorship-resilient manner. [1]

This is our final report for this project. We are incredibly thankful to OTF for their support, both financial and in terms of the wonderful community of fully excellent people they have worked so hard to establish and maintain. As always, we're happy to help ongoing and future OTF projects acheive their goals in the future. Also happy to just chat with any of you any time. Thanks! <3

Best regards,
