Nymble is a system that allows websites to selectively blacklist users of anonymizing networks while preserving user anonymity. It features anonymous authentication and backward unlinkability. The Nymble system architecture includes a user, pseudonym manager, Nymble manager, and server. Websites can blacklist misbehaving users by issuing credentials through the Nymble manager to prevent future connections, while previous connections remain unlinkable. The system aims to achieve blacklistability, rate-limiting, nonframeability, and anonymity, but has a limitation in preventing Sybil attacks by malicious users.

INTRODUCTION

Anonymous network
o IP hiding facilities
o Polipo, Tor, USAIP

Users misuses this network for abuse


They deface popular websites
Websites cannot blacklist individual IP
address
They blacklist entire anonymizing network
Nymble Blocking System

Current Strategy

In pseudonymous credential systems


Users are added to a blacklist
Weak in anonymity

In anonymous credential system


Group signatures
Lacks scalability

Nymble Blocking System

NYMBLE
A system that allows websites to selectively
blacklist users of anonymizing networks.
Blocks user without user's IP-address.
Legitimate users enjoy anonymity.
Blacklisted users got blocked for future
connections.
Previous connections remain unlinkable.

LIMITATIONS
Sybil attack
Mimics IP based blocking
Availability of multiple IP address helps
users circumvent the system

CONCLUSION

Nymble is comprehensive credential system.


Add a layer of accountability to any publicly known
anonymizing network.
Servers blacklist misbehaving users maintaining their
privacy.
Increase the mainstream acceptance of anonymizing
network.
