Anonymizing Censorship Resistant Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we propose a new Peer-to-Peer architecture for a censorship resistant system with user, server and active-server document anonymity as well as efficient document retrieval. The retrieval service is layered on top of an existing Peer-to-Peer infrastructure, which should facilitate its implementation. The key idea is to separate the role of document storers from the machines visible to the users, which makes each individual part of the system less prone to attacks, and therefore to censorship.

While existing systems provide protection against some attacks, they fail to provide resist...
متن کاملDesign of a blocking-resistant anonymity system
Internet censorship is on the rise as websites around the world are increasingly blocked by government-level firewalls. Although popular anonymizing networks like Tor were originally designed to keep attackers from tracing people’s activities, many people are also using them to evade local censorship. But if the censor simply denies access to the Tor network itself, blocked users can no longer ...

User-accessed Virtual Private Network systems allow authorized users remote access to protected or otherwise privileged networks while avoiding dependence on ISPs along the route for data confidentiality and integrity. This direct expression of the internet’s end-to-end principle of security is generally accepted as a highly successful design. VPN services and technology advertising censorship ...
متن کاملEnhancing Censorship Resistance in the Tor Anonymity Network
The Tor network was originally designed as low-latency anonymity network. However, over time Tor earned a reputation as also being a useful tool to circumvent Internet censorship—at times, the network counted 30,000 users only from China. Censors reacted by tightening their grip on the national communication infrastructure. In particular, they developed different techniques to prevent people fr...
