Abstract:
Whenever a user tries communicating with
another recipient on the Internet, vibrant information is sent over different networks until the information is intercepted or normally reaches the recipient. Precarious
information crisscrossing networks is usually encrypted.
In order to conceal the sender's identity, different
implementations have proven successful - one of which
is the invention of anonymous communication systems.
There are many anonymous communication systems
developed but, the Onion Router (Tor) is the greatest
organized anonymous communication system, which
offers online anonymity and privacy. There are a vast number of obstacles in security that have to be considered when deploying Tor. This paper thoroughly investigates and presents these security issues in Tor.
