Tiivistelmä
Most books about network security and secure communication discuss three main topics: availability, confidentiality, and integrity. The focus of this thesis is confidentiality which can be achieved by applying cryptographic algorithms to the message. Nevertheless, it is still possible to track down the source and destination of the message although who is talking to whom can also be sensitive information. There are many technologies that help to preserve privacy online.
One of the most common technologies is The Onion Router or Tor. This thesis focuses on examining the concept of onion routing.
Before discussing the concept of onion routing, first and foremost, this thesis discusses the importance of privacy and the underlying concept of communication between the web-server and client. The final part of this thesis concentrates on configuring a Tor node using Raspberry- Pi and the Google Cloud platform as well as making traffic captures and analysis.
