+[[!meta title="Distributed Tor Hidden Services"]]
+
+For my third year project, I worked on allowing distribution in Tor hidden
+services. My [report](report.pdf) is available (the [design
+archive](archive.tar.gz) is also).
+
+# Abstract
+
+Tor is an low latency, onion routing system that anonymizes TCP streams.  One
+particular Tor feature is hidden services, these provide responder anonymity,
+this means the identity of the server providing the service, is hidden from the
+requester (user) of the service.
+
+While modern web services, which can use techniques like anycast and DNS
+(domain name system) round robin to distribute clients across many servers, the
+main load for a Tor hidden service, will always go through a single node in the
+Tor network. This has implications for the availability and scalability of Tor
+Hidden Services, which has knock on implications anonymity of the hidden
+service, as downtime can possibly reveal information about its real world
+location. I aim to modify Tor to allow for distributed hidden services.
+
+This was achieved, however a deterministic property was added to the
+introduction points, which can be used to attack the service. A approach to
+solve this is discussed.
