*Arti* is a new Tor implementation written in /Rust/, intended to
eventually replace the current C Tor implementation. Rust improves
memory safety, eliminates many common vulnerability classes, and
enables
a more modular, auditable, and embeddable codebase.
Arti already supports proxy operation, censorship circumvention, onion services, and mitigations against side-channel, traffic-analysis, and denial-of-service attacks. However, it cannot yet operate as a relay
or
directory authority, so replacing C Tor completely will still require
several years.
Vanguards are another important improvement. Vanguards-Lite uses one additional layer of relatively stable relays and is suitable for
clients
and short-lived onion services. Full Vanguards adds two layers and
provides stronger guard-discovery protection for persistent onion
services, at the cost of additional latency, complexity, and longer
exposure to the same relays.
Arti modernizes and strengthens Tor, *but it cannot eliminate Sybil
attacks*, hostile relay operators, or global traffic correlation.
Those
problems also require greater network diversity, improved detection of suspicious relays, and careful path-selection policies.
