If I cause a lot of meaningless traffic over tor, couldn't I hide meaningful traffic in this noise and thus be secure against timing attacks? Say, I start a large download and visit a website while it runs. Wouldn't a global observer only see the net traffic coming from my node? Wouldn't this make it impossible for them to correlate this traffic with the traffic at the website I visited? |
