[tor-talk] Could BACKLIT be implemented by Tor

[Sebastian G. <bastik.tor>]

Hello,

Could BACKLIT be implemented by Tor to protect it's users from traffic
analysis by traffic watermarking?

In the past I wanted to ask on IRC (where I did not show up recently),
but it appeared no one would have read the paper back then.

The paper can be found here:

Cached version:

It sounds promising to me. Not like a silver bullet, but helpful.

An attacker would not need to be an global adversary which can monitor
all traffic, it could be two countries working together (maybe with force).

ps.: nothing more to say
