“We’ve found over the recent years that the complexity of the existing C code, and the fragility of the C language, make it unnecessarily difficult to improve the code while maintaining our security and privacy guarantees.” “Onion routing has just had its 25th anniversary in May, and although Tor is a great set of privacy tools, the C program “tor” itself (note the lowercase t) is beginning to show its age,” Mathewson said.

Mathewson said he started Arti as a side project so that he could learn Rust.

Rust is a coding language that developers use to create software. Arti should make it simpler for third parties to embed and customize the Tor Client than the current implementation in the C coding language. A client is a hardware or software product that accesses a service made available by a server. ZOMG announced on Tuesday that it is awarding the privacy-focused Tor Project a $670,000 grant to continue to develop Arti, a Rust coding language implementation of the Tor Client. With a better code foundation for developers to build on, solutions to existing issues on Tor will be easier for developers to address. A project is in the works to make the Tor Client more adaptable and easier for third parties to use, with some help from Zcash Open Major Grants (ZOMG).
