I know it might be a fundamental change to the Tor network, but would it be possible to obfuscate the Tor bridge/relay addresses with their respective fingerprints; similar, to the I2P network? I've often thought that this aspect of the I2P network is one that is implemented well. Perhaps Directory Authorities could preform fingerprint to address resolution? I think it would be extremely beneficial if neither bridge or relay addresses were published in the wild. It would make great strides in further buffering the Tor network from various black-listing/censorship techniques.
The idea sounds good at first. Fingerprint and Cert from bridges are already issued by the BridgeDB. But: I2P is nearly the same as Tor Hidden Services. Tor-Browser to bridge is a p2p connection and therefore no problem to see the IP anyway.
