  abstract = {Today's Internet routing protocols, while arguably robust and
efficient, are not designed to support anonymous communication.
Internet packets must include accurate destination addresses to be
routable and truthful source information to achieve reliability.
While there have been several attempts at providing anonymity with the
use of application-level overlay networks, these solutions focus
almost exclusively on maximizing anonymity, typically at the expense
of performance.

This dissertation shows that it is both possible and practical to
design, secure, and scale decentralized overlay networks for high
performance anonymous routing.  Our techniques utilize virtual
coordinate systems that embed link information (for example, latency,
jitter, and loss) in n-dimensional coordinate planes.  Such coordinate
systems enable nodes to estimate pairwise network metrics between
remote peers without requiring direct measurements.  We introduce
methods for scalably disseminating coordinate information as well as
security mechanisms for enforcing truthful coordinate advertisements.
By allowing nodes to estimate the end-to-end performance of possible
routes, our overlay routing infrastructure empowers applications to
intelligently select high performing anonymous paths.

Unlike existing anonymity systems that depend on central authorities
or directories, our {\em coordinate routing system} does not rely on
{\it a priori} trusted nodes or third-party authorities.  This lack of
centralization enables our system to scale to potentially millions of
nodes and offer anonymity that does not depend on the trustworthiness
of select nodes or services.  Moreover, the ability to estimate the
end-to-end performance of potential anonymous paths and prune likely
underperforming routes permits the anonymization of high bandwidth and
low latency network services (for example, voice-over-IP, streaming
video multicast, etc.) whose communication requirements have
previously been considered too restrictive for anonymity networks.}
