Metrics for security and performance in low-latency anonymity systems

2008-07-21 08:16:12 by Steven J. Murdoch in Light Blue Touchpaper
 
...Tor , and in other similar anonymity systems, clients choose a random sequence of computers (nodes) to route their connections through. The intention is that, unless someone is watching the whole network at the same time, the tracks of each users communication will become hidden amongst that of others. Exactly how a client chooses nodes...

...Tor hidden service, an attacker could cause measurable changes in clock skew and so allow the computer hosting the service to be re-identified. However, it takes a very long time (hours to days) to obtain a sufficiently accurate clock-skew estimate, even taking a sample every few seconds. If measurements are less granular than the 1 kHz TCP...

Covert channel vulnerabilities in anonymity systems

2007-12-10 10:39:42 by Steven J. Murdoch in Light Blue Touchpaper
 
...Tor Finally, I introduce novel covert and side channels which exploit thermal effects. Changes in temperature can be remotely induced through CPU load and measured by their effects on crystal clock skew. Experiments show this to be an effective attack against Tor. This side channel may also be usable for geolocation and, as a covert channel,...

Hi all. I've decided it's time to start focusing on software that helps users maintain their privacy. I've already done videos on DBAN , Eraser , CCleaner , TrueCRYPT and Tor . I hope to have one on PGP/GPG/FireGPG up soon. What other must have privacy software do you recommend I cover? Let me know via my contact page , to which I've recently...
