On the contrary, I think that this feature could be dangerous. For some of the adversaries Tor has, it would be actually very simple to falsify various types of ID checks. Indeed, secret services, among others, are already very keen on hiding their activities through dozens of fake cover companies and identities. To distinguishing the fake from the legitimate ones would therefore be very difficult. Evil Tor operators would thereby gain a false sense of legitimacy which, in the end, helps no one combating them. Detecting them could require more of a black box type approach, based only on behavorial facts. Or other metadata that is not so misleadingly forgeable. Sadly, this is not an easy problem to fix. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Message d'origine De: Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) - lists Envoyé: jeudi 28 janvier 2016 10:35 Actually a Tor relay do have a Contact information, with untrustuctured data in it where i can type "Hello, i'm mikey mouse, write me to [email protected]". Now, we know that inside the Tor networks the Tor relays may have different roles and different responsibilities. I would like to propose the topic of introducing a certain degree of verification, in order to obtain certain responsibilities: - Email validation (Email based check) - Phone number validation (SMS based check) -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
