Garlic routing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garlic routing is a variant of onion routing that encrypts multiple messages together to make it more difficult for attackers to perform traffic analysis.

Garlic routing is one of the key factors that distinguishes I2P from Tor and other privacy/encryption networks. The name comes from actual garlic, whose structure this protocol resembles.

List of P2P applications that use garlic routing
