Hi,
Paul Syverson: 'Anonymity'
Anonymous: [adjective] 1. without name; having no outstanding, individual, or unusual features.
This definition aligns with the initial onion routing feature of separating identification from routing, and the current public features of Tor Browser.
However, since there is an anonymity spectrum, a more verbose descriptor of what Tor is would be nice :D Though I feel like it would be a more fine-grained definition of 'anonymity network'.
practical low-latency traffic security systems
Obfuscation is a security tactic, so I guess it depends on what type of PLLTSS.
specify operating environment (network model, etc.), usage model, adversary model, and security definition. Then describe how secure a given system is in that context.
+1 for the game theory approach. When it comes to security, probable risk analysis doesn't cut it.
intuitions and prior knowledge
Frame of reference; very important. This is most likely why people conflate 'anonymous' with 'unknown'.
Regarding assurances [0], Juan's definition of anonymity, and arguments thereof [perspectives many hold], seem accurate.
So, to rehash an unanswered question with the intention of moving forward and making designations: What information is there sitting around waiting to be restructured into a consumable bite that could help people understand what the [Tor] experience is really? [If answering this question is too out of your duties, please ignore me silently or point to whoever is the most suitable person to ask.]
Wordlife, Spencer [0]:Assurance makes a user, or an accreditor, more confident that a system works as intended, without flaws or surprises, even in the presence of malice.
