Facade - High-Throughput, Deniable Censorship Circumvention Using Web Search
Offered By: USENIX via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a 24-minute conference talk from USENIX FOCI '14 that introduces Facade, a novel censorship circumvention system. Learn how this high-throughput, deniable method leverages web search queries to encode hidden messages in HTTP GET requests. Discover how Facade balances deniability and performance by exploiting the increased entropy in modern web services, particularly site-specific search functions. Examine the system's design, implementation, and resistance to fingerprinting attacks. Compare Facade's security and performance to existing HTTP-based censorship circumvention systems. Gain insights into the evolving landscape of online censorship resistance techniques and their potential impact on internet freedom.
