Web MIXes: A System for Anonymous and Unobservable Internet Access

چکیده
We present the architecture, design issues and functions of a MIX-based system for anonymous and unobservable real-time Internet access. This system prevents tra c analysis as well as ooding attacks. The core technologies include an adaptive, anonymous, time/volumesliced channel mechanism and a ticket-based authentication mechanism. The system also provides an interface to inform anonymous users about their level of anonymity and unobservability.

A mix may delay, batch and reorder packets to disrupt the packet-level timing correlation of packets into and out of the mix. Often multiple mixes are grouped into a mix network, which preserves anonymity in presence of compromise...
متن کاملNymble: Anonymous IP-Address Blocking pdfauthor
Anonymizing networks such as Tor allow users to access Internet services privately using a series of routers to hide the client’s IP address from the server.
