Traffic Analysis Resistant Privacy Enhancing Technologies.

This project will focus on systematizing the modeling, analysis and design of TAR systems. The main applications to be considered are: anonymous communications systems, location privacy technologies, privacy preserving social networking, and web search. Our goals are

1. to model and formalize TAR properties, mechanisms, and threats in these diverse application domains
2. to study trac data leakages and identify the key features that enable TA attack strategies
3. to develop design patterns for achieving robust and well-understood TAR properties.
