Hidden Services Tor, Onion Routing

The Onion Routing program is made up of projects which -
1. Research
2. Analyze
3. Design
4. Build
anonymous communications systems.

See http://www.onion-router.net/
The focus is on practical systems for low-latency Internet-based connections that
1. resist traffic analysis,
2. eavesdropping,
3. other attacks both by outsiders (e.g. Internet routers),
4. insiders (Onion Routing servers themselves).

"Onion Routing prevents the transport medium from knowing who is communicating with whom -- the network knows only that communication is taking place. In addition, the content of the communication is hidden from eavesdroppers up to the point where the traffic leaves the OR network."
