A MIX net takes a list of ciphertexts (c1; ; cN) and outputs a permuted list of the plaintexts (m1; ; mN) without revealing the relationship between (c1; ; cN) and (m1; ; mN). This paper shows that the Jakobsson's ash MIX of PODC'99, which was believed to be the most eecient robust MIX net, is broken. The rst MIX server can prevent computing the correct output with probability 1 in our attack. ...

We introduce and investigate sleeper attacks and explore them in the context of anonymous communication, especially mix networks. Sleeper attacks can make use of the interference inherent to mix protocols. Simply by leaving his own messages in a mix network an adversary can learn about the communication of network users. Sleeper attacks can be combined with epistemic attacks, statistical disclo...
