Anonymity and Encryption

• The Law Historical court cases regarding anonymity
• The anonymous fallacy, or why "I won't accept your argument because you don't use your real name!" doesn't make sense.
• Anonymous Remailers Declan McCullagh's article on anonymity and the AAAS summit.
• Anonymity, remailers and your privacy (Galactus) A very extensive site with sections on anonymous remailers, strong encryption, and physical security.
• Remailer list An up-to-date list of remailers currently in operation.
• Remailer Reliability This EFGA site tests remailer chains and posts the results.
• The DRule remailer stats. Frog remailer stats. EFGA remailer stats.
• Here's a usenet post that claims to have found security flaws in most of the available web remailers.
• Mail2News Gateways A listing of sites which permit you to post to usenet using e-mail.
• Replay Anonymous SSL Remailer A new, easy to use, web-based anonymous remailer.
• Nym Homepage
• Jack B. Nymble is a new Windows95/NT application used for composing and sending anonymous and nym messages, and for creating and maintaining nym accounts.
• AnonPost John Davies' easy to use usenet posting software. (link down)
• Quicksilver an even easier to use anonymizing mailer/poster that uses mixmaster.
• Private Idaho An easy-to-use Windows front end for PGP, with automated keyserver and anonymous remailer updates. Here's an updated 32-bit version from another author.
  • Note that while Private Idaho 2.8b3 works fine for me, the revised unofficial version (now 3.4t) overwrote all of my PIdaho setting (be sure to back up Pidaho.ini in your windows directory!) and did not work. Note also that PIdaho does not appear to work with PGP 5.0. But I prefer PIdaho 2.6.2 anyway; I trust it more, and it offers conventional encryption.
