[tor-dev] Existing Tor Guard Selection Algorithm

Hi George, Thanks for your help with this! We wrote up our high-level understanding of the current Tor guard selection algorithm here: https://gist.github.com/chelseakomlo/2acbe15314b5a809c6f4 This has more than our python simulation, but less than the actual Tor implementation. For example, it

[tor-dev] Next version of the algorithm

Hi, Here is the next version of the algorithm - put it in a gist to make it easier to look at: https://gist.github.com/olabini/343da01de8e01491bf5c Cheers -- Ola Bini (https://olabini.se) "Yields falsehood when quined" yields falsehood when quined. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: [tor-dev] Entry guards, primary guards, dir guards

Ah, good point. So, it seems N_PRIMARY_GUARDS is an argument to the algorithm. Cheers -- Ola Bini (https://olabini.se) "Yields falsehood when quined" yields falsehood when quined. signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ tor-dev mailing list to
