This option makes the journalists, militants and some authorities to be unknown over internet. TOR (onion router) is very successful in low latency anonymous communication. TOR gives more benefits like untraceable network to both local adversary controlling a small network and companies that are low enough to support anonymous use and also remote login. There is other software like , crowds and also provide anonymous communication over networks but TOR software had proved its efficiency in the networking market especially in field of network security ,The IP addresses will be hidden in the server. Keywords: TOR network, authentication, IP hidden in the server. 1 INTRODUCTION The idea of anonymous communication was first acquainted by Chaum in the year 1981. In his proposal, who first sent all the messages to a server called “mixed server” in which all the messages are mixed together irrespective of their source and then forwarded to their respective destinations. In the above method the communication was anonymous. The main advantage of anonymous is security enhancement within networks. At present anonymous communication is divided into two types: 1) low latency and 2) high latency. In these two types low latency communication is more successful. TOR (onion router) is very successful in low latency anonymous communication. TOR gives more benefits like untraceable network to both .
