Tor: People
Tor is managed by The Free Haven Project as a building block for a robust censorship-resistant data haven. It is developed by Roger Dingledine and Nick Mathewson, with help from many volunteers around the Internet.
Tor's first few years (2002-2004) were sponsored by the Naval Research Lab with support from ONR and DARPA, working with Paul Syverson and based on the original onion routing idea developed there.
Since November 2004, Tor development has been supported by the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
