Write Internet drafts for one or two TLS features to improve its traffic-analysis resistance
From org/sponsors/SponsorF/Year2: "16. research: Internet drafts for one or two TLS features to improve its traffic-analysis resistance. In particular, TLS needs better support for link padding, and for a mode where it does not send its record headers as plaintext. (Yes, TLS implementation moves bog-slow, but if we can get extensions in place, or something into TLS 1.x, we can do a lot of good here.)"
When talking to Nick about this deliverable last December, we agreed that there's not much that I can do in terms of coordinating with other Tor people or defining internal milestones and that I'm just going to ask every now and then how it's going.
Still, having a rough schedule for the substeps to be taken until November would be cool. Nick, can I ask you to make up such a schedule and post both the schedule and updates how it's going here?
