Tor hidden service allows the hidden service provider to provide TCP service without revealing its location, protecting the anonymity of both client and server at the same time.The length of the hidden service circuit is one time longer than normal Tor circuit.Although tor hidden service ensures the anonymity of both sides, the transmission is slow and there are more encryption and decryption because of longer circuit.Aiming at the disadvantages of tor hidden service, an improved method to build a hidden service circuit is proposed.Shorter circuit improves its transmission efficiency while multipath lowers the probability of being traffic analyzed.At the end we carried out an experiment with Shadow simulator and analyzed the improvement of performance and security the proposed method brought.
