Mixnet Specification v1 [deprecating]
The preliminary work was done on two related but distinct topics:
Private routing is hiding which node is the destination of a message.
Private addressing is hiding which validators are in each node.
After this preliminary work, further analysis gave us a deeper understanding of the limits of anonymous communication (private routing) with Mixnet. This resulted on the realization that any consensus protocol with very high message generation and any sort of structure, can be deanonymized very easily.
Notes on mathematical and statistical aspects of anonymous communication
The insights from this analysis lead us to take an entirely different route, and instead of Carnot, we moved to a protocol that minimizes communication, and does not deliver ID information together with stake in a direct form (in other words, it doesn't use votes).
