Mixmaster vs. Reliable: A Comparison of Two Anonymous Remailer Applications

Presented at DEF CON 12 (2004), Unknown date/time (Unknown duration).

The "Type II" remailer network has been operating since 1995, providing strong anonymity email services to the public. We recently performed an analysis of the anonymity provided by the two independent implementations of the Type II protocol. This is joint work with Claudia Diaz and Evelyne Dewitte, to be presented at the ESORICS conference in September.
