<DIV><FONT size=4>Inspired by the principle of tor, we intend to develop a
distributed data base which could maintain privacy preserving.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>But I still have some questions about how does tor work,
especially how does it encrypt my data?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>We know that there is an entrance node and an exit node in a
path, cleartext is sent out from the exit node to the destination that we are
aimed at. If so, my original cleartext could be revealed to the exit
node? If my data is encrypted on my PC by the tor I runned, how does the
exit node decrypt the ciphered text? How does it get the decrypt
key?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Another question is what kind of cryptology algorithm tor
uses, RSA? or others?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Thank you very much for replying!!!</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
