online censorship
Western politicians like Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of demand from
other states in a keynote speech on the internet like [1]. Pushed the
project telex, the researchers of the Faculty of Computer Engineering
from the University of Michigan, would enable countries like the United
States help now active in preventing censorship on the Net: using their
own servers and the infrastructure of large Internet service providers
to providing.
"Telex is working with a kind of super proxy, which is in the core of
the network. The technology allows us to make large parts of the
Internet to a free proxy", telex Wustrow maker Eric explains in an
interview with T R. Instead of just a single IP address or domain to be
limited, Telex operates over a large part of the traffic that the
censors appear harmless at first glance. "If you block this range,
number of authorized Internet sites are being blocked, what harm the
economy of a country's censorship would be difficult or politically
unenforceable."
Telex consists of two main components: the Telex application that runs
on a user's computer, and the telex stations with Internet providers or
on large servers, which connect the data traffic in a censored country
with the rest of the network. To conceal the destination of a data
request, Telex uses steganography. Here, the actual messages are built
using special algorithms in an open readable message which reveals
nothing about the secret content.
Governments and providers of the project hoped it telex strong support.
"If a whole country being censored, we use just half the free Internet
in a different governments and providers have to fight in the best
position to censorship -. As opposed to individual users." Currently the
researchers are in the process. to push a larger prototype projects, so
Wustrow. "We have spoken with several major providers and advertise a
money. We hope that this does something soon."
