- W2163598416 abstract "As more of our daily activities are carried out online, it becomes important to develop technologies to protect our online privacy. Anonymity is a key privacy technology, since it serves to hide patterns of communication that can often be as revealing as their contents. This motivates our study of the use of large scale peer-to-peer systems for building anonymous systems. We first develop a novel methodology for studying the anonymity of peer-to-peer systems, based on an information-theoretic anonymity metric and simulation. We use simulations to sample a probability distribution modeling attacker knowledge under conservative assumptions and estimate the entropy-based anonymity metric using the sampled distribution. We then validate this approach against an analytic method for computing entropy. The use of sampling introduces some error, but it can be accurately bounded and therefore we can make rigorous statements about the success of an entire class of attacks. We next apply our methodology to perform the first rigorous analysis of Freenet, a peer-to-peer anonymous publishing system, and identify a number of weaknesses in its design. We show that a targeted attack on high-degree nodes can be very effective at reducing anonymity. We also consider a next generation routing algorithm proposed by the Freenet authors to improve performance and show that it has a significant negative impact on anonymity. Finally, even in the best case scenario, the anonymity levels provided by Freenet are highly variable and, in many cases, little or no anonymity is achieved. To provide more uniform anonymity protection, we propose a new design for peer-to-peer anonymous systems based on structured overlays. We use random walks along the overlay to provide anonymity. We compare the mixing times of random walks on different graph structures and find that de Bruijn graphs are superior to other structures such as the hypercube or butterfly. Using our simulation methodology, we analyze the anonymity achieved by our design running on top of Koorde, a structured overlay based on de Bruijn graphs. We show that it provides anonymity competitive with Freenet in the average case, while ensuring that worst-case anonymity remains at an acceptable level. We also maintain logarithmic guarantees on routing performance." @default.
