A Practical Buses Protocol for Anonymous Internet Communication.
Andreas Hirt, Michael J. Jacobson, Carey L. Williamson · 2005
This paper describes the design, implementation, analysis, and evaluation of a Practical Buses protocol for anonymous network communication. The protocol, based on the metaphor of a city bus, provides connection anonymity for Internet-based communication. We modify the original Buses protocol from the literature to provide receiver anonymity, strengthen security, and improve efficiency and scalability. Our prototype is tested in a LAN scenario. Preliminary performance results show that the Practical Buses protocol is promising.
