 For [wiki:org/sponsors/SponsorF/Year2#8 sponsor F deliverable 8] we
 promised to work on a pluggable transport based on traffic morphing as
 described in this UNC [http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#morphing09 paper].
 The name of this pluggable transport will be Morpher.

 We promised to do the following things:

  * Implement an initial prototype of the traffic morphing code.

  * Integrate the prototype with obfsproxy.

  * Write a spec for the Morpher code (so everybody can know what exactly
 it does).

  * Write a spec for a protocol that Morpher uses.

  * Make contact with the "traffic morphing" research group at UNC, try to
 get them to review Morpher, try to get them thinking about next steps, and
 learn what else they're up to.

 I'm optimistically assigning this ticket to asn even though he didn't
 explicitly say that he's going to lead this deliverable.

 We should probably create child tickets for the substeps listed above that
 aren't completed yet.
