+Good times at Real World Crypto 2014
+------------------------------------
+
+On the second week of January, a bunch of Tor developers attended the
+Real World Crypto (RWC) workshop [XXX] in New York City.
+
+The workshop featured a nice blend of industry and academic crypto
+talks and a fruitful hallway track. Many researchers involved with Tor
+and privacy technologies were also present.
+
+As far as talks were concerned, Tom Shrimpton presented the
+Format-Transforming Encryption (FTE) traffic obfuscation tool [XXX]
+which is currently being developed to work as a Tor pluggable
+transport [XXX]. During RWC we also worked with Kevin Dyer, one of the
+paper authors and developers of FTE, towards including FTE in the
+Pluggable Transport Tor bundles.
+
+On the censorship circumvention front, I2P seemed interested in using
+pluggable transports and we worked with them to identify various
+problems with the current PT spec that need to be fixed so that other
+projects can use pluggable transports more smoothly [XXX].
+
+Furthermore, we talked with the developers of UProxy [XXX] (a
+censorship circumvention tool made by Google) and helped them
+understand how PTs work and what they would need to do if they wanted
+to use them in UProxy. They seemed interested and motivated to work on
+this.
+
+The Tor developers present also worked on the “Next Generation
+Hidden Services” project [XXX], and sketched out some ways to move
+forward even though there are some open research questions with
+the current design [XXX].
+
+Nick Mathewson commented on IRC: “I think the hallway track to
+main conference utility ratio was higher than usual, since the conference
+actually sticks practitioners and cryptographers in the same room
+pretty reliably.” Let's hope for next year!
