Several approaches exist to address these attacks. First, ORs may

TLS handshakes or accepting \emph{create} cells. So long as these
tokens are easy to verify and computationally expensive to produce, this
approach limits the DoS attack multiplier. Additionally, ORs may limit
approach limits the attack multiplier. Additionally, ORs may limit
the rate at which they accept create cells and TLS connections, so that
the computational work of processing them does not drown out the (comparatively
inexpensive) work of symmetric cryptography needed to keep cells
flowing. This rate limiting could, however, allows an attacker

to slow down other users when they build new circuits.
