TLDR
Mixminion works in a real-world Internet environment, requires little synchronization or coordination between nodes, and protects against known anonymity-breaking attacks as well as or better than other systems with similar design parameters.Abstract:
We present Mixminion, a message-based anonymous remailer protocol with secure single-use reply blocks. Mix nodes cannot distinguish Mixminion forward messages from reply messages, so forward and reply messages share the same anonymity set. We add directory servers that allow users to learn public keys and performance statistics of participating remailers, and we describe nymservers that provide long-term pseudonyms using single-use reply blocks as a primitive. Our design integrates link encryption between remailers to provide forward anonymity. Mixminion works in a real-world Internet environment, requires little synchronization or coordination between nodes, and protects against known anonymity-breaking attacks as well as or better than other systems with similar design parameters.read more

Tor: the second-generation onion router
TL;DR: This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, and a practical design for location-hidden services via rendezvous points.

Zerocash: Decentralized Anonymous Payments from Bitcoin
Eli Ben Sasson,Alessandro Chiesa,Christina Garman,Matthew Green,Ian Miers,Eran Tromer,Madars Virza +6 more
TL;DR: This paper formulate and construct decentralized anonymous payment schemes (DAP schemes) and builds Zero cash, a practical instantiation of the DAP scheme construction that is orders of magnitude more efficient than the less-anonymous Zero coin and competitive with plain Bit coin.

Untraceable electronic mail, return addresses, and digital pseudonyms
TL;DR: A technique based on public key cryptography is presented that allows an electronic mail system to hide who a participant communicates with as well as the content of the communication - in spite of an unsecured underlying telecommunication system.

The TLS Protocol Version 1.0
T. Dierks,C. Allen +1 more
TL;DR: This document specifies Version 1.0 of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, which provides communications privacy over the Internet by allowing client/server applications to communicate in a way that is designed to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery.

Private information retrieval
TL;DR: This work describes schemes that enable a user to access k replicated copies of a database and privately retrieve information stored in the database, so that each individual server gets no information on the identity of the item retrieved by the user.

How to construct pseudorandom permutations from pseudorandom functions
Michael Luby,Charles Rackoff +1 more
TL;DR: Any pseudorandom bit generator can be used to construct a block private key cryptos system which is secure against chosen plaintext attack, which is one of the strongest known attacks against a cryptosystem.
