Overview#
Mix network 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).
Mix network operations breaks the link between the source of the request and the destination, making it harder for eavesdroppers to trace end-to-end communications.
Mix network was first described by David Chaum in 1981.
Mix network Applications based on this concept include anonymous remailers (such as Mixmaster) and The Onion Router (Tor).
