摘要:Anonymity networks such as TOR provide users with a means to communicate privately over the Internet. These networks help to solve the real and important problem of enabling users to communicate privately over the Internet. But some users misuse this service and they tried to deface popular websites like wikipedia. To counter such users, a system called Nymble is used. Nymble possesses the following properties: anonymous authentication, backward unlinkability, subjective blacklisting, fast authentication speeds, rate-limited anonymous connections, revocation auditability (where users can verify whether they have been blacklisted), and it also deals with the Sybil attack so as to make its implementation practical. This paper presents an overview of the anonymizing network- TOR and how it can be used with the Nymble system. The Nymble system only blocks dishonest users and allows anonymity to honest users.
