Abstract

The capability that a server can hide its location while offering various kinds of services to its clients is called hidden services or location-hiding. Almost previous low-latency anonymous communication systems such as Tor, MorphMix, etc. that can be used to implement hidden services are vulnerable against end-to-end traffic analysis attack. In this paper, we introduce a novel architecture for implementing hidden services which is robust against end-to-end traffic analysis attack. Moreover, our scheme is more robust against various traffic analysis attacks than previous low-latency anonymous communication architectures.
