Legend: SPEC!! - Not specified SPEC - Spec not finalized NICK - nick claims ARMA - arma claims - Not done * Top priority . Partially done o Done D Deferred X Abandoned - Use a stronger cipher NICK - 3des for now - aes when we everybody has openssl 0.9.7 . Topics / circuits o Implement topics - Rotate circuits after N minutes? - Circuits should expire when circuit->expire triggers NICK . Handle half-open connections - Figure out what causes connections to close, standardize when we mark a connection vs when we tear it down NICK - Look at what ssl does to keep from mutating data streams NICK . On the fly compression of each stream o Clean up the event loop (optimize and sanitize) ARMA - Remove that awful concept of 'roles' ARMA - Exit policies - Spec how to write the exit policies - Path selection algorithms - Let user request certain nodes - And disallow certain nodes - Choose path by jurisdiction, etc? D Implement our own memory management, at least for common structs . Appropriate logging - Come up with convention for what log level means what - Make code follow convention . Terminology o Circuits, topics, cells stay named that - 'Connection' gets divided, or renamed, or something? . DNS farm o Distribute queries onto the farm, get answers o Preemptively grow a new worker before he's needed - Prune workers when too many are idle o Keep track of which connections are in dns_wait o Need to cache positives/negatives on the tor side o Keep track of which queries have been asked . Better error handling when . An address doesn't resolve - We have max workers running - Consider taking the master out of the loop? . Directory servers - Automated reputation management ARMA - Include key in source; sign directories ARMA - Have directories list recommended-versions - Quit if running the wrong version - Command-line option to override quit . Add more information to directory server entries - Exit policies - jurisdiction? others? SPEC!! - Figure out how to do threshold directory servers . Scrubbing proxies - Find an smtp proxy? - Find an ftp proxy? Figure out how that would work? - Wait until there are packet redirectors for Linux . Get socks4a support into Mozilla . Get tor to act like a socks server o socks4, socks4a - socks5 SPEC!! - Handle socks commands other than connect, eg, bind? - Develop rendezvous points D Implement reply onions D Deploy and manage open source development site. . Documentation . Discussion of socks, tsocks, etc o On-the-network protocol o Onions o Cells . Better comments for functions! - Tests NICK - Testing harness/infrastructure - Unit tests - System tests (how?) - Performance tests, so we know when we've improved . webload infrastructure (Bruce) . httperf infrastructure (easy to set up) . oprofile (installed in RH 8.0) D Deploy a widespread network . Router twins o Choose twin if primary is down, when laying circuit - Load balancing between twins - Keep track of load over links/nodes, to know who's hosed NICK - Daemonize and package o Teach it to fork and background - Red Hat spec file - Debian spec file equivalent . Autoconf . Which .h files are we actually using? Port to: o Linux o BSD . Solaris . Windows NICK . OS X . Move away from openssl o Abstract out crypto calls D Look at ndss, others? Just include code? . transition addr to sin_addr (huh?) . Clean up the number of places that get to look at prkey SPEC!! - Non-clique topologies, clearer bandwidth management . Look at OR handshake in more detail o Spec it - Merge OR and OP handshakes? - Periodic link key rotation. Spec? - More flexibility in node addressing - Support IPv6 rather than just 4 - Handle multihomed servers
