Creating the dark web: How the TOR browser was invented

Secure Talk Podcast

What software do radical techno-libertarians, the CIA, Privacy Advocates, the US State Department and Cyber Criminals use every day? The TOR Browser. In this compelling episode of SecureTalk, Justin Beals, the Founder and CEO of Strike Graph, discusses the book ‘Tor: From the Dark Web to the Future of Privacy’ with its author, Ben Collier, a Lecturer in Digital Methods at the University of Edinburgh. This episode traces the early anonymity problems that the US military and libertarian-minded computer scientists were attempting to solve. How they created a partnership and worked together to invent a solution that could provide global privacy at the dawn of the information age. Ben provides powerful insights into the motivations behind its invention and the future of our connected world.
