+Atlas [XXX] can now also be used to search for Tor bridges. In the past, Atlas
+was only able to search for relays. This was made possible thanks to a

+PETS 2014
+---------
+
+The fourteenth Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium was held in
+Amsterdam, Netherlands, July 16-18, 2014. A wide range of research in
+privacy enhancing technologies was presented, with many of relevance to
+Tor. Keynotes were given by Martin Ortlieb, Senior User Experience
+Researcher in Privacy, Google and William Binney (Former NSA Official).
+
+Some papers focussing on Tor include:
+
+- "Spoiled Onions: Exposing Malicious Tor Exit Relays" by Philipp
+  Winter, Richard Köwer, Martin Mulazzani, Markus Huber, Sebastian
+  Schrittwieser, Stefan Lindskog, and Edgar Weippl [XXX]
+- "One Fast Guard for Life (or 9 months)" by Roger Dingledine, Nicholas
+  Hopper, George Kadianakis, and Nick Mathewson [XXX]
+- "From Onions to Shallots: Rewarding Tor Relays with TEARS" by Rob
+  Jansen, Andrew Miller, Paul Syverson, and Bryan Ford [XXX]
+- "A TorPath to TorCoin: Proof-of-Bandwidth Altcoins for Compensating
+  Relays" by Mainak Ghosh, Miles Richardson, Bryan Ford, and Rob Jansen
+  [XXX]
+- "Measuring the Leakage of Onion at the Root, A measurement of Tor's
+  .onion pseudo-top-level domain in the global domain name system" by
+  Matthew Thomas and Aziz Mohaisen [XXX]
+
+Also announced at PETS was the 2014 PET Award for Outstanding Research
+in Privacy Enhancing Technologies, for "A Scanner Darkly: Protecting
+User Privacy From Perceptual Applications" by Suman Jana, Arvind
+Narayanan†, and Vitaly Shmatikov [XXX]. The winner of the best student
+paper at PETS was "I Know Why You Went to the Clinic: Risks and
+Realization of HTTPS Traffic Analysis" by Brad Miller, Ling Huang, A. D.
+Joseph and J. D. Tygar [XXX].
+
+Prior to PETS there was a Tor meet-up which Moritz reported as a great
+success [XXX]. Hopefully there will also be such an event at the 2015
+PETS, to be held in Philadelphia, US in the week of June 29, 2015.
