Abstract

Traditionally, there are two methods to implement anonymous channels: free-route networks like onion routing and cascade networks like mix network. Each of them has its merits and is suitable for some certain applications of anonymous communication. Both of them have their own drawbacks, so neither of them can satisfy some applications. A third solution to anonymous channels, Klein bottle routing, is proposed in this paper. It fills the gap between onion routing and mix network and can be widely employed in anonymous communication.
