...is scheduled as the guest speaker for the 239th meeting of the Karl Hess Club, to convene on March 17, 2014.

 

 

     Dallas Legan II on "TOR: The Noir side of the Net"

 

Our speaker will discuss Tor and its potential impact on the Internet.

Tor is a free, open-system software that defends users against traffic analysis -- a form of network surveillance that threatens our freedom, privacy, confidential business activities, and state security. Tor guards against criminals and unscrupulous power regimes trying to track our web-surfing. Tor also creates "hidden services" such as Silk Road, an anonymous marketplace that allows communication without fears of censorship or retaliation.

Tor is politically controversial due to its potential criminal uses. Power regimes dislike devices that deprive them of their exclusive control over communities and markets.

Dallas will explain what Tor is, what it does, and why it is important for those who value freedom, privacy, and personal security. He will also have material to distribute.
