Low-latency anonymity system

%leftfill
Deployed: 19 nodes, hundreds of users (?)

Many improvements on earlier design

Free software -- available source code

Design is not covered by earlier onion routing
patent

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Perfect forward secrecy


Telescoping circuit

	negotiates keys at each hop

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%page
%%
%%Separation from "protocol cleaning"
%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page

No mixing, padding, traffic shaping (yet)


Please show us they're worth the usability tradeoff

%%Many TCP streams can share one circuit
%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page

Congestion control


Simple rate limiting

Plus have to keep internal nodes from overflowing

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page

Directory servers


Approve new servers

Tell clients who's up right now

	plus their keys, location, etc

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page

Variable exit policies


Each server allows different outgoing connections

E.g. no servers allow outgoing mail currently

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page

End-to-end integrity checking


In previous onion routing, an insider could change
the text being transmitted:

"dir" => "rm *"

Even an external adversary could do this!

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page

Rendezvous points


allow hidden services

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page

Differences / limitations


We're TCP-only, not all IP (but we're user-space and very portable)

Not peer-to-peer

No protocol normalization

%%Not unobservable

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page

We have working code


Plus a design document,
and a byte-level specification
