The destination could be a so-called hidden service within the network, or an exit node that connects to a service on the public internet on behalf of the client. The connection between the client and destination is routed through these randomly picked nodes to obfuscate the public IP address of the client. The destination just sees the last hop in this chain, be it an exit or one of the relay nodes, and not the client.<\/p>\n<p>The client wraps its traffic in nested layers of encryption, hence the name onion network, to protect it from eavesdropping and to ensure rogue nodes and snoops can&#8217;t walk through the circuit and unmask the client. This requires the client to perform secure Diffie-Hellman cryptographic key pair exchanges with relay nodes during the establishment of a circuit, carefully so to avoid unmasking the client, which takes time and bandwidth.<\/p>\n<p>What the team suggests is a method they have dubbed T0RTT: Tor zero Round-Trip-Time key exchange. In this system, using a technique known as <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/imichaelmiers\/libforwardsec\">puncturable encryption<\/a>, the number of steps to establish a circuit is drastically reduced. According to the paper, this will &#8220;allow a sender to transmit cryptographically protected data within the first message, without prior exchange of key establishment messages.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This single-pass method also provides forward secrecy. If you want to know the mathematics behind it in detail, see the above links.<\/p>\n<div class=\"CaptionedImage width_85\" readability=\"8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2019\/12\/12\/paper_t0rtt.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2019\/12\/12\/paper_t0rtt.jpg?x=648&amp;y=871&amp;infer_y=1\" alt=\"Figure from the T0RRT paper: used with permission\" title=\"Figure from the T0RRT paper: used with permission\" height=\"871\" width=\"648\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"text_center\">A diagram from the paper illustrating the differences between Tor&#8217;s current design and the proposed approach &#8230; Click to enlarge. Reproduced here with permission<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Co-authors Sebastian Lauer and Kai Gellert told <em>The Register<\/em> on Wednesday this week that T0RTT would significantly decrease circuit establishment latency for netizens, as it would essentially halve the number of messages needed to set up a connection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This ensures that circuits are constructed faster and the number of messages in the network is reduced, which in turn reduces the load on the network infrastructure,&#8221; the boffins explained. &#8220;In Tor it is also recommended to change the circuit for each connection to prevent profiling attacks. A faster circuit construction thus increases not only efficiency but also security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"promo_article\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regmedia.co.uk\/2019\/10\/24\/tails.jpg?x=174&amp;y=115&amp;crop=1\" width=\"174\" height=\"115\" alt=\"Tails is a Linux distribution aimed at privacy and anonymous browsing\"><\/p>\n<h2 title=\"'More changes than any version since years' in Tor-touting OS\">Heads up, private penguins: Tails 4.0 is out.

Because of the complexity of the data being transmitted to each node along the circuit, T0RTT would create a significant burden on RAM and CPUs that Tor nodes may struggle with. Before the protocol would be practical, this trade-off of latency for compute would need to be solved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The first solution would be to equip onion routers with better hardware. This would probably be the simplest solution and easy to realize with modern hardware,&#8221; said Lauer and Gellert. &#8220;The second and more interesting way would be to improve the construction of puncturable KEMs. Since this cryptographic primitive is still relatively young, we hope for further research results in this area in the next years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The paper, T0RTT: Non-Interactive Immediate Forward Secret Single-Pass Circuit Construction, was written by Sebastian Lauer (Ruhr University Bochum), Kai Gellert (Universit\u00e4t Wuppertal), Robert Merget (Ruhr University Bochum), Tobias Handirk (Paderborn University), and J\u00f6rg Schwenk (Ruhr University Bochum).
