Description: Tor is a connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system.  Applications connect to the local Tor
           : proxy using the SOCKS protocol. The local proxy chooses a path through a set of relays, in which each relay
           : knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down the circuit is unwrapped by a
           : symmetric key at each relay, which reveals the downstream relay.  Warnings: Tor does no protocol cleaning.
           : That means there is a danger that application protocols and associated programs can be induced to reveal
           : information about the initiator. Tor depends on Privoxy and similar protocol cleaners to solve this problem.
           : This is alpha code, and is even more likely than released code to have anonymity-spoiling bugs. The present
           : network is very small -- this further reduces the strength of the anonymity provided. Tor is not presently
           : suitable for high-stakes anonymity.
