# tor-circmgr
`tor-circmgr`: circuits through the Tor network on demand.
## Limitations
This crate is part of
[Arti](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/arti/), a project to
implement [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) in Rust.
In Tor, a circuit is an encrypted multi-hop tunnel over multiple
relays. This crate's purpose, long-term, is to manage a set of
circuits for a client. It should construct circuits in response
to a client's needs, and preemptively construct circuits so as to
anticipate those needs. If a client request can be satisfied with
an existing circuit, it should return that circuit instead of
constructing a new one.
But for now, this `tor-circmgr` code is extremely preliminary; its
data structures are all pretty bad, and it's likely that the API
is wrong too.
The path generation code in this crate is missing a colossal
number of features that you'd probably want in production: the
paths it generates should not be considered secure.
