Tool and Techniques to Bypass Internet Filtration

Abstract

A key component for any censorship resistant system or circumvention technology is to ensure privacy by enabling users to communicate undetected in a censorship network. This is often accomplished by incorporating certain techniques such as pseudonymity and anonymity into the system. However, previous research suggests that current techniques to ensure privacy still reveal a significant amount of identifying information [1]. In addition to addressing the limitations for ensuring privacy using tools other research has introduces four properties: anonymity ,unlink ability, unobserved ability and pseudonymity, and a set of anonymity metrics, which can be used to improve the design and evaluation of censorship resistant systems [2].
