Abstract

This paper presents new methods to provide anonymous communication
on the Internet. We describe a new protocol that allows us to
create an anonymous overlay network by exploiting the web browsing
activities of regular users.  We show that the overlay network
provides an anonymity set greater than the set of senders and receivers
in a realistic threat model. In particular, the protocol provides
unobservability in our threat model.
