Privacyproutes
Privacyproutes refers to a class of routing techniques designed to enhance user privacy by limiting the ability of network observers to infer sender, destination, and timing information from traffic paths. The central idea is to separate the knowledge of the source and destination from the actual path, often by constructing routes through multiple intermediaries and applying encryption at multiple layers.
Origins and usage: The term has appeared in academic papers and industry discussions since the late 2010s
Architecture: A privacyproute system typically involves: (a) a route discovery or selection mechanism that builds a
Security and limitations: Privacyproutes aim to reduce traffic correlation and metadata leakage but may still be
Applications and status: Primarily studied in research prototypes and privacy-focused experiments. Potential use cases include secure
