+%Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers' experimental
+%Vuvuzela messaging system offers more privacy than The Onion Router (Tor) by
+%rendering text messages sent through it untraceable. MIT Ph.D. student
+%David Lazar says Vuvuzela resists traffic analysis attacks, while Tor
+%cannot. The researchers say the system functions no matter how many parties
+%are using it to communicate, and it employs encryption and a set of servers
+%to conceal whether or not parties are participating in text-based dialogues.
+%"Vuvuzela prevents an adversary from learning which pairs of users are
+%communicating, as long as just one out of [the] servers is not compromised,
+%even for users who continue to use Vuvuzela for years," they note. Vuvuzela
+%can support millions of users hosted on commodity servers deployed by a
+%single group of users. Instead of anonymizing users, Vuvuzela prevents
+%outside observers from differentiating between people sending messages,
+%receiving messages, or neither, according to Lazar. The system imposes
+%noise on the client-server traffic which cannot be distinguished from actual
+%messages, and all communications are triple-wrapped in encryption by three
+%servers. "Vuvuzela guarantees privacy as long as one of the servers is
+%uncompromised, so using more servers increases security at the cost of
+%increased message latency," Lazar notes.
