Onion Routing

Onion Routing is a technique of secure and anonymous communication. The name of onion
routing is derived layers of encryption – similar to the layers of an onion – that protect the
messages when being sent and protect the message from third party users. In onion routing, the
connection hops from one server to another, making it more difficult to track the data. The
message being sent and the response being received are encrypted with different keys and with
different encryption keys for every change in servers – each key can only access its designated
server. While the server only has the specific key to encryption and decryption to that server, the
user would have access to all the keys for all layers. With onion routing, third parties are
prevented from accessing the messages when it is being transferred while still keep the message
and users anonymous.

TOR Network
A TOR Network – in short for The Onion Router Network – protects the user’s identity by
moving a user’s online traffic through different layers throughout their network. The network is
developed by a non-profit organization with the main purpose is the research and development of
online privacy tools and provide free download with minimal setting adjustment for users to
maintain privacy while using the internet. TOR network is useful for users to protect their
internet activities from advertisers, ISPs, and websites and can help people get around website
restrictions in their country, host private websites or to hide their IP address for dark web
activities. The downside of TOR network is the slow speed as data is hopping through a lot of
layers.

Dark Web
The Dark Web is the content that exists on the hidden side of the internet and can only be
accessed by specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. In other words, the
public content available on the internet right now is only a small portion of that is actually
available online, and dark web exists under the deep web, which is content that is not searchable
by standard web search engines. As dark web can be accessed by specific software, it can be
accessed through TOR network because of its layers of protection and therefore, the dark web
network connection can still be secured. Dark web is usually associated with illegal internet
activities that required layers of protection in order to keep the users’ identities anonymous, and
is usually used for communication, purchasing or trading illegally.
