How to Stay Anonymous Online

Staying Anonymous online is safe to use when you dont want your presence in Internet to be found.Staying anaonymous online can protect people living under repressive regimes.
But many vulnerabilities in some the popular networks like Tor, has raised eyebrows.

How does it work??

The importance of system lies in the series of servers called mixnet.The server changes the oreder of information from one point to another.Imagine there are three friends,Bruce,Clark and Stark searching on Google.The information sent be 1,2,3 repectively.The information received by the servers can 1,3,2 or 3,2,1 or in any order.Then the information sent by the second server can modify the pattern of information being sent and can be of order 2,3,1 or 2,1,3 and so on.This is process of alterations keeps on continuing.

A bad event for  example which had tracked the origin points of these messages would have no idea of the time and the pattern in which the messages have exited the last server.This kind of encryption is called onion encryption.The messages are shieldeed by layers of encryption.MIT researchers have developed a new anonymity network called Riffle.

Riffle

Riffle works in a way called verifable shuffle.The encryption is done in such a way that messages sent to the server can generate a mathemattical proof that the messages it sends are different patterns of valid messages.Verifying the authenticity of messages can take lot of time and can also slow down the network.So, riffle uses a technique called authentication encryption which verifies autheticity of encrypted messages.

Is Riffle going to be the future for anonymity or is it not??
