See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Also known as a Type II remailer, this kind of remailer accepts messages in the Mixmaster format. It doesn't use a PGP key but instead it uses it's own Mix key which looks like something like this: -----Begin Mix Key----- 08daa0412580b473b0405a27b6eb72f6 258 AATLm+Il10etAgaOBsAMfggFXi2ghiyypIkZkqhh W0Ef6LvDNLdPZ94Gu4QgPDD+q13JyRwmU/TvTgIk SBGxv9dUH3J22BEg600vD9lWOcFiq3ApjUuxS76T Zf+lGTINOIs+zkAmrojqueQfHFxBE0rMembno8jg VHlOpyeHRfJNIQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQAB -----End Mix Key----- Mixmaster uses a message format based on RSA and Triple-DES encryption. Messages are multiply encrypted and formatted so as to appear identical to other Mixmaster messages . Messages are sent through chains of Mixmaster remailers. Each remailer removes one layer of encryption, and forwards the message. When the final remailer delivers the decrypted message to the recipient, it is impossible to find out where it came from even if part of the remailer chain is compromised. Mixmaster remailers improve on Cypherpunk remailers by making traffic analysis much more difficult. It does this by making all incoming and outgoing messages the same size (28.1kb) and by re-ordering messages before delivery - so that traffic coming in cannot be associated necessarily with traffic going out. The building of a Mixmaster message cannot be done with a text editor! Special client software is required.
