>As crucial as Tor's anonymity network can be for keeping your online activity private, it's not flawless -- a motivated hacker can compromise legions of users, whether they're crooks or privacy-minded innocents. Researchers from MIT and EPFL might have a better way. They've developed an anonymity network, Riffle, that promises to maintain privacy so long as at least one server is safe.
>The secret is the use of a mixnet, where servers switch the order of messages as they're received, but without using relatively inefficient public keys. Instead, Riffle relies on a verifiable shuffle (where you shake up a message's encryption but can verify the changes) across all servers for the initial connection, and authentication encryption (where you prove the validity of the encrypted message itself) for the rest. In essence, even compromised servers can't mess things up -- they have to shuffle messages correctly for the good servers to accept the incoming data.
>And importantly, the technique is extremely efficient, to the point where transferring takes a tenth of the time that it would on a conventional anonymity network. That's particularly important when the nodes on these networks are frequently users' computers.

It's an anonymity network. Not really a place to host content for long periods of time.
>>55539197
it's the other way around. it's the casuals that are the pedophiles, so your argument is still correct.

>>55543463
what's wrong with lisp?
>>55546356
Lisp is JavaScript with more parentheses.
>Javascript was described as "we want to do lisp in the browser" to get its designer interested, if I remember that interview correctly...
>Indeed, Waldemar Horwat once told me that he viewed JavaScript as essentially Common Lisp with a C-like syntax. In fact Waldemar defined a metalanguage, wrote an interprepter for his metalanguage in Common Lisp, and then wrote the JavaScript spec in his metalanguage, thereby enabling him to actually run the specification. It was a clever technique.

What if the government partnered with MIT to make an "anonymous" network that is easy for them to monitor and track?
I bet the nsa will have a bunch of day 1 backdoors or whatever the hell to this system.
>>55551524
More than likely they did, but as long as you set up the pretense of anonymity and aren't dealing in things threatening national security, they'll leave you alone.
Wouldn't want to risk the word getting out that the system is compromised just to catch a few people watching captain price

I've been following this project for ages as a proof of concept of a first-hop verifiable mixnet.
The performance is absolutely dire - ~1Mbit/s when used for file transfer im real-world testing - compared to garlic routing or onion routing, but unlike them, it is strong against global passive and active attackers.
It's great to see it published and validated at last!
My own work on hybrid mixnets is a bit ahead of this (if it is proved to work), and currently achieves roughly ~5000ms latency and a comfortable 180Mbit/s file transfer with the current nodes on the test network (upload speed limitations would probably halve bandwidth for a full real-world network although I've tried to simulate this, and this speed does not rely on packet order: an ordered connection is about an order of magnitude slower, but still fairly acceptable). The routing algorithm still needs a lot of work, however: anti-Sybil defenses are a real pain, especially if you want a lower-latency path, you will have to trade some anonymity for latency there, but I think with further work I can make individual streams indistinguishable to a global active attacker with less than 51% of the network, mitigating the attack on low-latency paths by using high-latency non-ordered paths, like bulk file transfers, as cover traffic.
More research needed, etc.

I'm not sure how this is a valid criticism given that is part of its purpose, though not its original purpose
>>55553321
>given that is part of its purpose
when most people use Tor it's for anonymity. Most people wouldn't consider anonymity illegal but some countries do. So yes, sometimes Tor is used to do "illegal" stuff but the term illegal is subjective based on country and feelings for the user.
I use Tor because I don't like the feeling of being watched.
