Presented at
The Circle Of HOPE (2018),
July 20, 2018, noon
(60 minutes)
The Tor Project has been hard at work building usable free software to fight surveillance and censorship across the globe. Join a handful of Tor contributors at this panel and learn all about the state of the onion and what Tor has been up to since the last HOPE. They'll talk about adding new security features, improving Tor Browser on Android, deploying the next generation of onion services, making Tor more usable, lowering the network overhead, making Tor more maintainable, and growing the Tor community with new outreach initiatives. They'll also share some of what you can expect from Tor in the coming year, and will leave lots of time for questions from the community.
