Summary
This paper describes ANCC, a method for hiding secret communications within the Tor network (an anonymous internet overlay system) by disguising data as normal Tor activity. Unlike previous hidden communication methods that could expose either the sender or receiver, ANCC protects the identity of both parties and conceals that they are communicating at all, even against adversaries monitoring many network nodes.
