Noise Generating Mixnet (NGM)
Noise Generating Mixnet
The Nym mixnet is the first large-scale mix network for all forms of internet traffic.
A mixnet is a decentralized network of servers which reroute traffic (e.g., an individual message) in parts to obscure traffic patterns by mixing different users’ data packets together.
NymVPN is the first commercial app to run on the Nym mixnet, providing mixnet protections to all devices, apps, and data types.
The Nym mixnet introduces additional “noise” to the network, differently from original mixnet designs, to further fight against AI-powered data tracking capacities. Noise includes cover traffic and timing obfuscations as a result of data mixing.
