True Nyms

True Nyms aka TrueNyms is the codename of a p2p system providing traffic-analysis resistant unobservable communications. I started its development during my master's degree (2003), and it is still ongoing.

Goal(s)

Our initial goal was to study different possibilities of obtaining low latency communications over the Internet with strong unobservability. This goal has been reached; Current developments are related to adaptations to special use-cases and enhancements of specific aspects.

Availability

True Nyms has not been publicly released yet.
