rewrite the contribute.html... Roger Dingledine authored 19 years ago	137) <li>Server CPU load is high because clients keep asking to make new 138) circuits, which uses public key crypto. Possible defenses include: 139) using helper nodes (fixed entry nodes); rate limiting the number of 140) create cells handled per second; having clients retry failed extensions 141) a few times; implementing ssl sessions; and using hardware crypto when 142) available.</li> 143) <li>Website volume fingerprinting attacks (<a 144) href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#back01">Back et al</a>, <a 145) href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#hintz02">Hintz</a>). 146) Defenses include a large cell size, <a 147) href="http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#timing-fc2004">defensive dropping</a>, 148) etc. How well does each approach work?</li> 149) <li>The end-to-end traffic confirmation attack.
