Anonymous communication with on-line and off-line onion encoding Marek Klonowski, Miroslaw Kutylowski, Filip Zagorski Anonymous communication with onions requires that the user application determines the whole routing path of an onion. This has certain disadvantages, potential dangers, and does not fit well to the current layered architecture of communication networks. We show that using universal re-encryption encoding can solve many of these problems by providing much flexibility -- onions can be created on-the-fly or in advance by different parties. We show also how to attach a digital signature of a processing server so that the signature can be universally re-encrypted and does not betray a path of a message.
