摘要: Anonymity is increasingly important for networked applications amidst concerns over censorship and privacy. In this paper, we describe Herbivore, a peer-to-peer, scalable, tamper-resilient communication system that provides provable anonymity Building on dining cryptographer networks, Herbivore scales by partitioning the network into anonymizing cliques. Adversaries able to monitor all traffic cannot deduce identity of sender or receiver beyond an clique. addition strong anonymity, simultaneously high efficiency scalability, distinguishing it from other anonymous protocols. Performance measurements prototype implementation show can achieve bandwidths low latencies when deployed Internet.
