DESCRIPTION:Prof. Steven J. Murdoch\, University College London\nAbstract\
 nThe Tor anonymous communication system helps millions of users every day 
 to use the Internet more safely\, protecting their identity\, blocking tra
 cking\, and in some cases circumventing censorship. Since its creation in 
 2005\, the Tor Project has worked to enhance the usability and security of
  Tor\, bringing it from a research prototype with a handful of users to an
  easy-to-use modern application today. In this talk\, I’ll discuss the r
 esearch challenges that had to be addressed during this journey and open r
 esearch questions that remain\, including on usability\, traffic-analysis 
 resistance\, ethical considerations\, and post-quantum cryptography.\n\nBi
 ography\nProfessor Steven Murdoch is the head of University College London
 's Information Security Research Group. His research interests include pay
 ment systems and privacy-enhancing technologies\, particularly anonymous c
 ommunication systems. He was the creator of the Tor Browser and continues 
 to be a member of the Tor Project. He is a Fellow of the IET and BCS and a
  director of the Open Rights Group.\n
