Sociotechnical Aspects of Tor Relay Rejection
Jules Dejaeghere, Lionel Goffaux, Pierre Luycx +2
In 2019, the Tor Project enforced an end-of-life (EoL) policy for Tor versions, leading to the rejection of outdated relays, amounting to a notable fraction of consensus weight. Wh…
Contiguous Zero-Copy for Encrypted Transport Protocols
Florentin Rochet
We propose in this paper to revisit the design of existing encrypted transport protocols to improve their efficiency. We call the methodology ``Reverso'' from reversing the order o…
VeraSel: Verifiable Random Selection for Mixnets Construction
Xinshu Ma, Florentin Rochet, Tariq Elahi
The security and performance of Mixnets depends on the trustworthiness of the Mixnodes in the network. The challenge is to limit the adversary's influence on which Mixnodes operate…
Stopping Silent Sneaks: Defending against Malicious Mixes with Topological Engineering
Xinshu Ma, Florentin Rochet, Tariq Elahi
Mixnets provide strong meta-data privacy and recent academic research and industrial projects have made strides in making them more secure, performance, and scalable. In this paper…
Towards Flexible Anonymous Networks
Florentin Rochet, Jules Dejaeghere, Tariq Elahi
Anonymous Communication designs such as Tor build their security on distributed trust over many volunteers running relays in diverse global locations. In practice, this distributio…
Flexible Anonymous Network
Florentin Rochet, Olivier Bonaventure, Olivier Pereira
Internet technologies have been designed from guidelines like the robustness principle also known as Postel's law. Jon Postel's law is described as: "Be conservative in what you do…
Waterfiling: Balancing the Tor network with maximum diversity
Florentin Rochet, Olivier Pereira
We present the Waterfilling circuit selection method, which we designed in order to mitigate the risks of a successful end-to-end traffic correlation attack. Waterfilling proceeds…
