A Reputation System to Increase MIX-Net Reliability
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a design for a reputation system that increases the reliability and thus efficiency of remailer services. Our reputation system uses a MIX-net in which MIXes give receipts for intermediate messages. Together with a set of witnesses, these receipts allow senders to verify the correctness of each MIX and prove misbehavior to the witnesses. We suggest a simple model and metric for evaluating the reliability of a MIX-net, and show that our reputation system improves over randomly picking MIX paths while maintaining anonymity.
