<p>I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive
|
|
applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several
|
|
layers of encryption, and the network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Many applications are available that interface with I2P, including
|
|
mail, peer-peer, IRC chat, and others.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
I2P is growing fast! There were nine releases in 2009, and traffic grew by a factor of 5:

|
The I2P project was formed in 2003 to support the efforts of
|
|
those trying to build a more free society by offering them an uncensorable,
|
|
anonymous, and secure communication system. I2P is a development effort
|
|
producing a low latency, fully distributed, autonomous, scalable, anonymous,
|
|
resilient, and secure network. The goal is to operate successfully in
|
|
hostile environments. even when an organization with substantial financial
|
|
or political resources attacks it. All aspects of the network are open source and
|
|
available without cost, as this should both assure the people using it that the software
|
|
does what it claims, as well as enable others to contribute and improve
|
|
upon it to defeat aggressive attempts to
|
|
stifle free speech.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Anonymity is not a boolean - we are not trying to make something
|
|
"perfectly anonymous", but instead are working at making attacks more and more
|
|
expensive to mount. I2P is a low latency mix network,
|
|
and there are limits to the anonymity offered by such a system, but the applications
|
|
on top of I2P, such as <a href="http://syndie.i2p2.de/">Syndie</a>, I2P mail,
|
|
and I2PSnark extend it to offer both additional functionality and protection.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I2P is still a work in progress.
|
|
It should not be relied upon for "guaranteed" anonymity at this time,
|
|
due to the relatively small size of the network and the lack of extensive academic review.
|
|
It is not immune to to attacks from those with unlimited resources, and may never be,
|
|
due to the inherent limitations of low-latency mix networks.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
I2P works by routing traffic through other peers, as shown in the following picture.
|
|
All traffic is encrypted end-to-end.
