 ABSTRACT

TCP performance for flow-based anonymity applications. Anonymity has become a

necessary and legitimate aim in many application areas, including anonymous Web
browsing and file sharing. There are two requirements for a successful anonymous
communication system: the degree of anonymity the system can achieve (anonymity
degree) and the quality of service (QoS). Although a significant effort has been
directed at discovering attacks against anonymity networks and developing
countermeasures to those attacks, there is little systematic QoS analysis for such
security and privacy systems. We model and analyze the performance of TCP in Flow
based mix networks.Anonymity technologies such as mix networks have gained
increasing attention as a way to provide communication privacy. Mix networks were
developed for message-based applications such as e-mail, but researchers have
adapted mix techniques to low-latency flow-based applications such as anonymous
Web browsing. To improve TCP performance, we examined the approach of
increasing TCP’s duplicate threshold parameter and derived formulas for the
performance gains.
