I’ve been widely quoted as saying

“I would not trust my life or even my liberty to Tor”

in a New Scientist article on WikiLeaks. I said this because low-latency systems such as Tor are susceptible to traffic analysis by a strong adversary (such as, say, a government). If I were a dissident in a country with an evil government I would not rely on Tor to protect me from that government. Actually, I should rephrase that: if I were a dissident I would not rely on Tor to protect me.

This is not to say WikiLeaks expects you to rely on Tor, I was commenting in general about the security of Tor, not about the security of WikiLeaks (in the absence of a detailed design, I can’t comment on that).
