Description

Websites like Wikipedia and Blogspot are increasingly being blocked by government-level firewalls around the world. Although many people use the Tor anonymity network to get around this censorship, the current Tor network is not designed to withstand a large censor.

In this talk I'll describe our plan for extending the Tor design so these users can access the Tor network in a way that is harder to block.
