Internet Censorship Arms Race Gets New Weapon From Georgia Tech

coondoggie writes "Trying to get out in front of what they call a censorship arms race, a team of researchers has come up with technology that lets users exchange messages through heavily censored networks in countries such as China and North Korea in hidden channels via user-generated content sites such as Twitter or Flickr. Researchers with the Georgia Tech School of Computer Science will demo the technology known as Collage for the first time at next month's Usenix security conference and ideally have a working package the public can download by the end of August."

    Alice and Bob both want to communicate but they don't want to be discovered by Mallory or by Eve

    I don't know about this Bob guy. I'm thinking he doesn't want any of the women to know about the other women's access points. That way he can keep "seeing" all of them and neither will get jealous.
