摘要: Despite the attempts of well-designed anonymous communication tools to protect users from tracking or identification, flaws in surrounding software (such as web browsers) and mistakes configuration may leak user's identity. We introduce Nymix, an anonymity-centric operating system architecture designed "top-to-bottom" strengthen identity- tracking-protection. Nymix's core contribution is OS support for nym-browsing: independent, parallel, ephemeral sessions. Each session, pseudonym, runs a unique virtual machine (VM) instance evolving common base state with long-lived sessions which can be anonymously stored cloud, avoiding de-anonymization despite potential confiscation theft. Nymix allows user safely browse Web using various different transports simultaneously through pluggable model that supports Tor, Dissent, private browsing mode. In evaluations, consumes 600 MB per nymbox loads within 15 25 seconds.
