Therefore, when the message arrives at the first mix, the message will be encrypted multiple times based on the number of mixes between the sender and the final destination. The sender encrypts the message multiple times starting with the public key of the last mix and ending with the public key of the first mix. For the last mix, this address is the final destination. For the first mix, this address is the second mix on the path to the final destination. Therefore, each mix can decrypt only one layer of the encryption and see the part which belongs to that mix which is the address of the next destination to which the message is going to be sent. The sender sends the message indirectly to the receiver through multiple mixes. Multilayer-encryption anonymity networks counted on the Mix concept presented by Chaum to provide anonymity to email. Multilayer-encryption anonymity networks aim to provide privacy to users by the separation of the users from their final destination. The Packet Momentum aims to use a small number of features and a small number of packets to identify such networks. Packet Momentum is a novel approach proposed to identify multilayer-encryption anonymity networks efficiently and accurately and the obfuscations techniques they use. Consequently, this research proposes Packet Momentum approach to identify multilayer-encryption anonymity networks. Moreover, the implementation of the obfuscation techniques hardens the identification of such networks. Increasing attacks, threats and misuse of such valuable anonymity services trigger the need to identify such anonymity networks. The anonymity and privacy these networks provide is a double-edged knife. Multilayer-encryption anonymity networks provide privacy which has become a significant concern on today’s Internet due to many attacks and privacy breaches.
