Abstract

The existing low-latency anonymous communication networks represented by Tor and I2P networks are mainly composed of voluntary nodes all over the world, and these nodes use onion routing or garlic routing to implement data hop-by-hop transmission. Due to the high autonomy and randomness of voluntary nodes, the reliability, credibility and availability of the entire anonymous network cannot meet specific QoS requirements. For this reason, based on the advantages of P2P network, this paper proposes an anonymous communication system based on software-defined architecture. The system uses file exchange instead of message exchange, realizes asynchronous communication, realizes the anonymity of transmission path, and introduces The control center performs unified programming on the message forwarding path, which has higher flexibility and reliability. The experimental results show that the entire process is encrypted and different messages cannot be correlated, which can achieve the effect of anti-tracing.
