JAP / JonDo 00.11.031 Beta / 00.11.012

JAP has to be installed on the users computer to allow him to surf the web anonymously and without being observed. This is necessary since all requests and all of the servers answers have to be sent not directly to the web server, rather via a so-called Mix Cascade. These mixes are interposed stations, and all messages are directed through these stations.

Since many users make use of the anon service at the same time, the internet connections of each user are hidden among those of all the other users. Every user could have been responsible for any connection. Nobody, no outstanding person, no other user, not even the operator of the AN.ON service can determine which internet connections were requested by a certain user.
