Abstract

The paper presents a design and discusses configuration aspects of an overlay transport protocol based on an idea of the peer-to-peer direct and anonymous distribution overlay (P2PRIV). We estimate a secure configuration of the protocol and examine a correlation between the P2PRIV's anonymous path lengths and latency. An increase of the path lengths speaks strongly in favor of the parallel solution's anonymity, as in classical cascade networks. In the paper we evaluate the new protocol in a scope of a trade-off between anonymity and traffic performance and show that the presented solution allows effectively increasing anonymity with relatively low impact on anonymous transport latency.
