Abstract

Onion Routing provides anonymous connections that are strongly resistant to both eavesdropping and traffic analysis. Unmodified Internet applications can use these anonymous connections by means of proxies. The proxies may also make communication anonymous by removing identifying information from the data stream. Onion routing has been implemented on Sun Solaris 2.X with proxies for Web browsing, remote logins, and e-mail. This paper's contribution is a detailed specification of the implemented onion routing system, a vulnerability analysis based on this specification, and performance results.

Abstract
Anonymous communication networks (ACNs) aim to thwart an adversary, who controls or observes chunks of the communication network, from determining the respective identities of two communicating parties. We focus on low-latency ACNs such as Tor, ...
Anonymous connections and onion routing

Onion routing is an infrastructure for private communication over a public network. It provides anonymous connections that are strongly resistant to both eavesdropping and traffic analysis. Onion routing's anonymous connections are bidirectional, near ...
