We provide a way for hosts to create a 'Broker Onion-Service'--a BOS-- that our user meets with at a rendezvous before then meeting at yet another rendesvous to transfer the message to the host.
Tor is free and open-source software that enables journalists, human rights activists, diplomats, business people, and everyone else to use the Internet without being watched online by governments or companies. Short for The Onion Router (hence the logo), Tor was initially a worldwide network of servers developed with the U.S. Navy that enabled people to browse the internet anonymously. Now, it's a non-profit organization whose main purpose is the research and development of online privacy tools.
The Tor network disguises your identity by moving your traffic across different Tor servers, and encrypting that traffic so it isn't traced back to you. Anyone who tries would see traffic coming from random nodes on the Tor network, rather than your computer.
To access this network, download the Tor browser. Afterwards, everything you do in the browser goes through the Tor network and doesn't need any setup or configuration. That said, since your data goes through a lot of relays, it's slow, so you'll experience a much more sluggish internet than usual when you're using Tor.
Here's a sketch outlining the architecture of our onion rings project — because planning is everything!
We documented the project in Github so that anyone can contribute to it and so that we could easily
collaborate with each other.
