This repository contains a Rust workspace for Monte Carlo route-compromise simulations in mix networks. The aim is to study and better understand the fully malicious path problem in decentralized mixnets. A sampled path is considered compromised when every node on that path is malicious. For more information on the problem, see this research post.

Choosing a simulator

routesim-v2 to simulate paths through existing MTG-generated, stratified topology layouts. This simulator is a simplified version of routesim with an extention of additional Vanguards similar to those use in Tor hidden services.
freeroutesim to simulate free-route mixnets and study time and message count to first compromise under random, guard, or vanguard routing. This is more relevant for the mix protocol we consider.

This project builds on ideas and code from routesim.
