Intel Patents Anonymity Server

http://cryptome.org/intel-anon.htm [Excerpt. There are 15 images in the patent.] Anonymity Server, May 14, 2002 Description BACKGROUND 1. Field The present invention relates to the field of communications. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for maintaining anonymous and traffic analysis resistant communications over a communication link. 2. Related Art Over the last few years, personal and commercial usage of the Internet has increased dramatically. As a result, companies are beginning to monitor such usage for a number of reasons. For example, marketing companies can analyze Internet traffic in order to develop consumer profiles of various users or to obtain information about ongoing projects by a competitive company. In an attempt to thwart data collection through traffic analysis and provide message anonymity over public communication links like the Internet, anonymous remailers are now being provided. An "anonymous remailer" is a computer that receives an electronic message over a communication link from a sender and redirects that electronic message to an intended recipient. By encrypting audible and/or viewable data of the electronic message, the integrity and confidentiality of that data would be protected against unauthorized access by the operator of the anonymous remailer or an interloper. It is evident that the above-described conventional communication scheme would substantially ensure the preservation of the integrity and confidentiality of data within an electronic message. However, this conventional communication scheme fails to protect the integrity or confidentiality of data transmitted back to the original sender in the form of a response from the intended recipient. In certain situations, anonymous remailers have been configured to assign a unique tag to each original sender of an electronic message before the electronic message is redirected to the intended recipient. This tag is used as a secret key by the intended recipient to encrypt data contained in a response to the electronic message. However, to support this communication scheme, the anonymous remailer would have to decrypt the response with the tag and re-encrypt the response with the public key of the original sender because the intended recipient would have no knowledge of the original sender, namely a public key of the original sender. Since the operator responsible for the anonymous remailer would have access to the return path of the response, reliance on the integrity of that operator is required. Clearly, this substantially reduces the level of *security* of this communication scheme. Therefore, it would be desirable to create an electronic system and a corresponding method for maintaining anonymous and traffic analysis resistant communications over a communication link without dependence on the integrity of the system operator. -----

Anyone >who does is showing negligent disregard for human safety. And his own. Peter, After reviewing the list I don't deny the dangers inherent in experimenting with these items. My objection has to do with the federal government's involvement. Over the past ten years I've made it a "hobby" to study the detailed legislative histories of several key constitutional amendments (e.g., the 14th and 16th) and Supreme Court rulings on these amendments and their interpretations of the Commerce Clause and Necessary and Proper Clauses. I've read the works of and discussed the findings with a number of Constitutional scholars (e.g., Larry Lessig and Eugene Volokh). In general they support my conclusions and share a serious concern for the frightening lack of respect Congress and the Supreme Court have shown the Constitution and our liberties. If I am right substantial portions of federal law passed since the Civil War (and especially since the FDR administration) have no basis in a clear reading of the Constitution. I have no qualms with my state regulating many of my behaviors and possessions, but find the federal involvement unlawful and unacceptable in this area. Most of my fellow citizens accept an almost unlimited federal involvement in our daily lives. The Founders placed many safeguards in the Constitution to prevent this, but Congress and the Courts have found illegal circumventions. Most Americans would rather not know that their liberties have been and are continuing to be drained away by the unconstitutional practices of the supposed guardians of their liberties. They believe that the current balance struck is the best under the circumstances. In fact, they are frightened by (or consider mentally unbalanced or unpatriotic) anyone who would raise serious objections. I am left to protect my rights the best I can, even if it means violating unlawful regulations. If you are one of the "many" you will probably find my ranting that of a loon. If not, a good place to start your inquiry is with the recently published book, "The Real Lincoln," by Thomas diLorenzo http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0761536418/lewrockwell/104-1710778-1…. Its causing quite a stir in American historical circles. http://www.washtimes.com/civilwar/20020504-87400616.htm http://www.lewrockwell.com/dieteman/dieteman115.html http://www.lewrockwell.com/dilorenzo/dilorenzo14.html steve

Thanks Alan but, This slippery slope concerning the ability of only approved researchers able to engage in science has gone too far and has got to stop. I don't accept that the "right of society" to protect itself from a few madmen abusers of technology means we all must carry scientist ID cards. Most of the significant discoveries, until this century, were made by amateurs. Almost all the R&D I did in the 60s and 70s as an amateur are now regulated. If I do any research, using whatever chemicals I choose, I won't be filing no "stinking forms. steve
