!!! Overview [{$pagename}] are [routing] [protocols] that create hard-to-trace [communications] by using a chain of [Proxy Servers] known as mixes which take in [messages] from multiple senders, shuffle them, and send them back out in [random] order to the next destination (possibly another mix node). [{$pagename}] operations breaks the link between the source of the [request] and the destination, making it harder for [eavesdroppers] to trace end-to-end [communications]. [{$pagename}] was first described by David Chaum in [1981|Year 1981]. [{$pagename}] [Applications] based on this concept include [anonymous] remailers (such as [Mixmaster]) and [The Onion Router] ([Tor]). !!
