Abstract:
Decoy routing systems circumvent censorship by relying on cooperating ISPs in the middle of the Internet. A recent study suggested that censors can defeat decoy routing by manipulating interdomain routes. We analyze the costs of launching this attack and quantify its negative impact on the networks in the censoring region.
