PrivCount proof of concept: implement debugging for PrivCount
Let's debug PrivCount by splitting statistics into multiple categories:
- public statistics: information that is already public
- private statistics: information that is sensitive
We can safely log public statistics at any log level. We can publish public statistics' unencrypted, per-relay values and noise amounts in extrainfo descriptors.
We need a debug mode to log private statistics above info level. When we are in debug mode, and not using any public authorities, we can publish private statistics' unencrypted, per-relay values and noise amounts in extrainfo descriptors.
We'll work out other debugging mechanisms during the proof of concept process.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
