Tor Network Diagnostics
V3 Onion Protocol Specification
Torzon operates exclusively on the Next Gen Onion Services (V3) protocol. The legacy V2 addresses (16 characters) were deprecated due to SHA-1 weaknesses allowing for address enumeration.
Technical Specs:
> Address Length: 56 characters
> Cryptography: Ed25519 (Elliptic Curve)
> Directory Protocol: Blinded signing keys prevents directory authorities from knowing the service exists.
Circuit Isolation & Guard Rotation
To prevent traffic correlation attacks (confirming a user by monitoring entry and exit traffic), Torzon recommends users refresh their Tor circuits before logging in. The Tor Browser's "New Identity" button flushes all internal state, closes existing circuits, and establishes a fresh path through the network.
