Abstract

What do the United States Department of Defense and the ElectronicFrontier Foundation have in common? They are both funding the developmentof Tor (tor.eff.org), a free-software onion routing network that helpspeople around the world use the Internet in safety.

The public Tor network has over 200 servers on five continents, andaverages over 100Mbit/s of traffic. Our users include ordinary citizens whowant protection from identity theft and prying corporations, corporationswho want to look at a competitor's website in private, and aid workersin the Middle East who need to contact their home servers without fearof physical harm.

I'll give an overview of the Tor architecture, and talk about why you'dwant to use it, what security it provides, and how user applicationsinterface to it. I'll show a working Tor network, and invite the audienceto connect to it and use it.
