Project Tor has set up a network around the world, which are just users participating in the network and working as nodes. It involves an Entry Node, Middle Node, and Exit Node. The Tor network includes dozens of nodes around the world that relay traffic to another node in the network until it reaches the destination. Onion routing was later picked up by an MIT graduate who began to implement the framework in a project which has come to be known as project Tor (The Onion Routing). Onion Routing was developed sometime in the mid-90s by the U.S Naval Research Lab (NRL). The idea is that sending data across a decentralized network where each node is connected only to the next in the network can provide a higher level of privacy than just encrypting data.
It’s a method of routing that involves sending data through multiple nodes.
Tor works on the principle of Onion Routing. Before we dive into what Tor is, it’s better to give you a history of how it began.
