o Major features (Proposal 310, performance + security):
- Implements Proposal 310 - Bandaid on guard selection.
Proposal 310 solves a load-balancing issue within Prop271 which strongly
impact experimental research with Shadow.
Security improvement: Proposal 310 prevents any newly Guard relay to
have a chance to get into the primary list of older Tor clients,
except if the N first sampled guards of these clients are unreachable.
Implements recommendation from 32088.
Proposal 310 is linked to the CLAPS project researching optimal
client location-aware path selections. This project is a collaboration
between the UCLouvain Crypto Group, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and
Princeton University.
