The sender remains anonymous because each node only knows the location of the immediately preceding and following nodes. The message arrives at its destination when the final layer is decrypted. This includes information about the next node the packet is destined for. The messages are encrypted and transmitted through a series of nodes called “onion routers”.Īt each node, a layer of encryption is peeled away. Onion routing works by encapsulating messages in layers of encryptions (kind of like an onion). Tor is actually an acronym for “The Onion Router”. Onion routing makes communication over the network anonymous. The web browser works by employing a practice called “onion routing”. Understanding the difference is important if you want to protect your users and organization. The browser was built for users to remain anonymous online, not security.
