cMix: Mixing with Minimal Real-Time Asymmetric Cryptographic Operations.

We introduce cMix, a new approach to anonymous communications. Through a precomputation, the core cMix protocol eliminates all expensive real-time public-key operations—at the senders, recipients and mixnodes—thereby decreasing real-time cryptographic latency and lowering computational costs for clients. The core real-time phase performs only a few fast modular multiplications.
