Merging Traffic to Improve Privacy and Performance

Most privacy enhancing technologies are generally either aiming to achieve low-latency or high privacy at the cost of a<br/>high-latency. Low-latency privacy tools are often vulnerable to traffic analysis and use techniques like padding or<br/>traffic shaping to mitigate the impact of traffic analysis. Those techniques add overhead to the execution.<br/><br/>Typically, each privacy enhancing technology uses its own physical infrastructure. However, running such infrastructure<br/>is costly or requires a strong community to operate parts of the infrastructure. In this poster, we explore how we could<br/>use a distributed network to operate multiple privacy enhancing technologies on top of it.
