Who they are

Nick Mathewson, co-founder of the Tor Project.

What they do

The engine logs him as a lead architect of Tor, the software that lets people browse anonymously.

How it works

He co-founded Tor Project Inc. in December 2006 alongside Dingledine and Syverson, in a line traced back to the US Naval Research Laboratory, and served as the lead cryptographer on the Tor protocol.

Why it matters

It marks that a tool marketed as citizen anonymity has roots in US government research, a recurring pattern the engine watches.
