D04-TO: Yes

Rationale

Tor v3 onion service keys are independent of host interface addresses. The control specification supports caller-supplied Ed25519-v3 keys or generation of a new key, plus virtual-port mapping and v3 client authorization. A user controlling their own Tor instance and files can provision additional service identities over existing transport without administering shared host interfaces.

Assessment method

Documentary selected-stack classification; no new network execution

Source context

Official specifications and versioned project documentation retrieved 2026-10-15; retained document hashes

Outstanding qualification

Control access is a prerequisite, not an entitlement for every local account. Credit a user-owned instance, not unrestricted access to another user's daemon. Preserve the selected persistent client-authorization files and revocation/restart policy; the API example does not replace them with an ephemeral-only configuration. Directory dependencies and incomplete Conflux implementation remain separate findings. No new Tor service was published.
