Is there any technical documentation or paper regarding Stegotorus available? I failed to find something on the Internet.
There is a paper, but it's stuck in "under submission" limbo. I think the paper is going to want some revisions before it settles down.
We're working on getting the source tree up, and then I'll try to encourage them to make a tech report version.
For the moment, the source tree is visible on Github: https://github.com/zackw/stegotorus. It is likely to move to gitweb.torproject.org hosting in the near future.
I am happy to send drafts of the paper to anyone who is curious, but I can't just send it to the list, because until it's accepted for publication somewhere, we don't want the PDF where it'll get indexed by search engines. I am also working on opening up the version control for the TeX sources -- that's a technical problem rather than a bureaucratic one: someone (read "me") has gotta convert it out of SVN.
On a related note, any cryptographers reading this message are invited to review the code at https://github.com/zackw/moeller-ref -- this is not currently used by StegoTorus but will be in the very near future, and it's the first-ever implementation of a specialized asymmetric cryptosystem, so it needs more eyes.
