DiffuseNet: A random walk based anonymity network

In this paper we introduce a new type of anonymity network based on the idea of “scalable anonymity.” While most anonymity networks try to achieve perfect anonymity, DiffuseNet allows the user to select the degree of anonymity they desire, allowing the user to choose a balance between anonymity and latency. It achieves this using a new type of routing based on statistical sampling, rather than a circuit based network.
