+<p><strong>WALPOLE, MA</strong> The Tor Project releases an article about |
|
| 16 |
+the <a href="/press/presskit/2010-09-16-circumvention-features.pdf">"Ten |
|
| 17 |
+Things to Look for in a Circumvention Tool"</a>. As more countries |
|
| 18 |
+crack down on Internet use, people around the world are turning to |
|
| 19 |
+anti-censorship software that lets them reach blocked websites. Many |
|
| 20 |
+types of software, also known as circumvention tools, have been created |
|
| 21 |
+to answer the threat to freedom online. These tools provide different |
|
| 22 |
+features and levels of security, and it's important for users to |
|
| 23 |
+understand the tradeoffs.</p> |
|
| 24 |
+ |
|
| 25 |
+<p>This article lays out ten features you should consider when evaluating |
|
| 26 |
+a circumvention tool. The goal isn't to advocate for any specific |
|
| 27 |
+tool, but to point out what kind of tools are useful for different |
|
| 28 |
+situations.</p> |
|
| 29 |
+ |
|
| 30 |
+<p>Tor's tools and technologies are already used by millions of people |
|
| 31 |
+to protect their activities online. These users include journalists and |
|
| 32 |
+human rights workers in politically rigid countries communicating with |
|
| 33 |
+whistleblowers and dissidents. Law enforcement officers on Internet |
|
| 34 |
+sting operations stay anonymous with Tor, as do people wanting to post |
|
| 35 |
+socially sensitive information in chat rooms, like rape or abuse survivors |
|
| 36 |
+and those with illnesses. The Tor network also provides protection |
|
| 37 |
+for people looking for another layer of privacy from the millions of |
|
| 38 |
+websites and ISPs bent on collecting private information and tracking |
|
| 39 |
+their moves online.</p> |

+<h2>ABOUT THE TOR PROJECT</h2> |
|
| 42 |
+ |
|
| 43 |
+<p>Based in Walpole, MA, The Tor Project develops free and open-source |
|
| 44 |
+software that provides online anonymity to the everyday Internet |
|
| 45 |
+user. Tor was born out of a collaboration with the U.S. Naval Research |
|
| 46 |
+Lab starting in 2001, and it became an official U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit |
|
| 47 |
+in 2006. The Tor Project now works with many individuals, NGOs, law |
|
| 48 |
+enforcement agencies, and businesses globally to help them protect their |
|
| 49 |
+anonymity online.</p> |
|
| 50 |
+ |
|
| 51 |
+<p>In addition to its efforts developing and maintaining the Tor anonymity |
|
| 52 |
+software and the Tor network, The Tor Project also helps to lead the |
|
| 53 |
+research community in understanding how to build and measure scalable and |
|
| 54 |
+secure anonymity networks. The Tor developers publish several new research |
|
| 55 |
+papers each year in major academic security conferences, and just about |
|
| 56 |
+every major security conference these days includes a Tor-related paper. |
|
| 57 |
+Tor is a project-funded organization with a staff of 15.</p> |
