Anonymity – Garlic routing separates identification from routing so that information can be published and accessed anonymously.

There is no single point where content can be removed or access to the network can be blocked.

Decentralization – Having no central servers, I2P is not controlled by any one individual or organization, including the designers of the platform.

Knowing the source and destination of a person’s Internet traffic makes it possible to track their behaviour and interests.

Traffic analysis – Can be used to infer who is talking to whom over a public network.

This means that unlike Tor, traffic does not enter and leave the anonymising network, which may make traffic confirmation more difficult. All users run the same software, which by default takes part in relaying data for other users.

Peer-to-peer – The I2P network is decentralised.Garlic routing is one of the key factors that distinguishes I2P from TOR and other networks where messages are encrypted multiple times. Garlic routing – A variant of onion routing that encrypts multiple messages together to make it more difficult to conduct traffic analysis.Websites published via I2P, known as “eepsites”, use domain names ending with the ‘.i2p’ suffix. I2P can be used to host services that are only accessible via the anonymising network. The communication endpoints are identified by cryptographic keys ( I2P01). A computer running the I2P software is called an I2P node.Īll communication in I2P is encrypted end-to-end and forwarded through a network of nodes to conceal the source and destination of the traffic. Its aim is to “protect communication from dragnet surveillance and monitoring by third parties such as ISPs” ( I2P01). The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is an anonymous peer-to-peer communication layer, an offshoot of Freenet ( GIZ01) designed to run any Internet service (email, IRC, file sharing, HTTP, Telnet) as well as distributed applications.
