-## Problem definition
+# Problem
 
 It is not necessarily difficult to use onion services, but it might be tricky to configure a web service to be offered via .onion so that it doesn’t leak sensitive information.
 
 There are detailed [guides](https://riseup.net/en/security/network-security/tor/onionservices-best-practices) available for users that would like to offer a web application via .onion and some tools have been developed to help service operators: discover known misconfiguration or [vulnerabilities](https://onionscan.org/) or deploy an [onion site](https://github.com/alecmuffett/eotk).
 
-## Scope
+Involving a wider developer community can help creating a better image of Tor and onion services, replacing the “dark net” narrative with the secure and private web one.
+
+Onion services can also be relevant to all those people interested in the “zero-trust” strategy. The concept behind zero-trust is to adopt strategies and tools to help prevent data breaches by eliminating the concept of trust from an organization’s network architecture, with the principle of never trust, always verify.
 
-Myonion provides a way to build and deploy onion ready applications, allowing developers to build and test web applications and easily share them with others, bundling the code and configuration in a lightweight, portable Docker container application that runs thesame everywhere.
+Ultimately myonion is about creating a better experience for onion services developers and operators and therefore fostering a more legitimate onion service ecosystem.

 The GSoC project is only about researching and implementing a working test in probe-engine, not the UI and client integration of the test.
