Design and build a user interface for Lox

Details

• Lox paper: https://cypherpunks.ca/~iang/pubs/lox-popets23.pdf
• Back-end integration: tpo/anti-censorship/team#116 (closed)
• Design file for handoff: Figma / Tor Browser 13.5 / lox

Timeline

Work items tagged as Sponsor 96 (i.e. those required to deliver a working prototype of Lox in Tor Browser Alpha) should be complete by the due date assigned to the issue in order to make the code audit for the project. Other work items not strictly required for the prototype (e.g. generic changes to Connection Settings or converting traditional bridges to use the new bridge card format) are considered lower priority, and may be completed later in the 13.5 release cycle.

Release

All features developed for this ticket are to be included in the 13.5 Alpha series (desktop only), however:

• Lox-specific features should not be released in 13.5 stable, and care should be taken to separate patches specific to Lox from other work. There is no set stable release date for Lox at present, and we anticipate a long testing period until it's ready (e.g. by 14.5 stable instead).
• Generic features (e.g. changes to Connection Settings or traditional bridges) may be released in 13.5 stable, if ready.
