Quote:Russia has offered 3.9m roubles ($110,000; £65,000) in a contest seeking a way to crack the identities of users of the Tor network.
Tor hides internet users' locations and identities by sending data on random paths through machines on its network, adding encryption at each stage.
The Russian interior ministry made the offer, saying the aim was "to ensure the country's defence and security".
The contest is only open to Russians and proposals are due by 13 August.
Applicants must pay 195,000 roubles to enter the competition, which was posted online on 11 July and later reported by the tech news site Ars Technica..........
