## 1. Tor network ## 1. Tor network
Tor is a low-latency anonymity and overlay network based on onion routing and path-building design for enabling anonymous communication. When a user wants to connect to an Internet server Tor tries to build a path formed by at least three Tor nodes relays called Guard, Middle and Exit. In this building path creates a circuit that negotiates encrypted symmetric keys,that while the message goes along the circuit, each relay strips off its layer of encryption. In this way the message arrives at the final destination in its original form and each party only knows the previous and the next hop and cannot determinate origin or destination. Tor is a low-latency anonymity and overlay network based on onion routing and path-building design for enabling anonymous communication. Tor is free and open-source software and the name derived from the acronym for the original software project name "The Onion Router". The Tor Project, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based research-education nonprofit organization founded by computer scientists Roger Dingledine, Nick Mathewson and others. The Tor Project is primarily responsible for maintaining software for the [Tor anonymity network](https://www.torproject.org/)

The basic architecture of the Tor network is made up of the following components: The basic architecture of the Tor network is made up of the following components:
* Tor Clients (OP or Onion Proxy): A Tor client installs local software considered as an onion proxy, which packages the application data into cells the same size (512 bytes) that it sends to the Tor network. A cell is the basic unit of Tor transmission. * Tor Clients (OP or Onion Proxy): A Tor client installs local software considered as an onion proxy, which packages the application data into cells the same size (512 bytes) that it sends to the Tor network.
