Abstract

Tor is one of the most widely used anonymous communication systems and has been studied by many researchers in recently years. Aiming at the disadvantages of the entry node and exit node of Tor anonymous communication circuit, this paper proposed a pseudo sender and pseudo receiver forwarding strategy in Tor circuit. This strategy can prevent the entry node and exit node from directly contacting the sender and receiver which is securer than original forwarding strategy. In the strategy, there are two random forwarding circuits connecting to Tor circuit, and the nodes that make up the forwarding circuit formed a group which can effectively conceal the information of sender and receiver. What's more, there is a pseudo sender/receiver node in each random forwarding circuit which can hide the information of both parties in the circuit. Users can controls the length of the anonymous transmission circuit by the controlled variables to meet the anonymous needs of different users in the strategy.
