Low-latency anonymity system
%leftfill
Deployed: 20 nodes, hundreds (?) of users
Many improvements on earlier design
Free software -- modified BSD license
Design is not covered by earlier onion routing
patent
Uses SOCKS to interface with client apps
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
We have working code
(14 kloc of C)
and a design document,
and a byte-level specification,
and a Debian package (in Unstable)
Works on Linux, BSD, OSX, Cygwin, ...
User-space, doesn't need kernel mods or root

(hide relationships and volumes of communication)
Who is visiting job sites?
Which groups are talking to patent lawyers?
Who are your suppliers and customers?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Anonymity is a network effect
Systems need traffic (many low-sensitivity users) to attract the high-sensitivity users
Most users do not value anonymity much
Weak security (fast system) can mean more users
which can mean
%cont, font "italic"
stronger
%cont, font "standard"
anonymity
High-sensitivity agents have incentive to run nodes
so they can be certain first node in their path is good
to attract traffic for their messages
There can be an optimal level of free-riding
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Onion Routing is...
An overlay network
Users build virtual circuits through the network
One layer of encryption at each hop
Fixed-size cells
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Tor's goals
Conservative design
minimize new design work needed
%size 6
Support testing of future research
Design for deployment; deploy for use
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Threat model -- what we aim for
Protect against somebody watching Alice
Protect against curious Bob
Protect against `some' curious nodes in the middle
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Differences / limitations
We're TCP-only, not all IP (but we're user-space and very portable)
Not as strong as high-latency systems (Mixmaster, Mixminion)
Not peer-to-peer
No protocol normalization
Not unobservable (no steg, etc)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Perfect forward secrecy
Telescoping circuit
negotiates keys at each hop
no more need for replay detection
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
No mixing, padding, traffic shaping (yet)
Please show us they're worth the usability tradeoff
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%%Many TCP streams can share one circuit
%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Many TCP streams share a circuit
Previous designs built a new circuit for each stream
lots of public key ops per request
plus anonymity dangers from making so many circuits
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Leaky-pipe circuit topology
Alice can direct cells to any node in her circuit
So we can support long-range padding,
have multiple streams exiting at different places in the circuit
etc
%size 6
Unclear whether this is dangerous or useful
More research needed
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Congestion control
Simple rate limiting
Plus have to keep internal nodes from overflowing
(Can't use global state or inter-node control)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Directory servers
To solve the `introduction' problem
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
don't need (brittle) reply onions
Access-controlled: Bob can control who he talks to
Robust: Bob's service is available even when some Tor nodes go down
Smear-resistant: Evil service can't frame a rendezvous router
Application-transparent: Don't need to modify Bob's apache
%size 6
(Not implemented yet)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
How do we compare security?
Assume adversary owns c of n nodes
can choose which
%size 6
What's the chance for a random Alice and Bob that he wins?
Freedom, Tor: (c/n)^2
Peekabooty, six-four, etc: c/n
Jap (if no padding): 1 if c>1
Anonymizer: 1 if c>0
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%page
Future work
Threshold directory agreement
Scalability: Morphmix/p2p extensions?
Restricted-route (non-clique topology)
Non-TCP transport
Implement rendezvous points
Make it work better
