Title: Heartbeat Traffic to Counter (n-1) Attacks

Description: Mix nodes should send out "heartbeat" messages (dummies that start and end at that node). measuring how many return in a given time, they can detect whether the adversary is dropping or delaying traffic coming into them (possibly so he can launch an active blending attack).

Title: New Covert Channels in HTTP

Description: Adding Unwitting Web Browsers to Anonymity Sets. Anonymity sets in deployed systems are small because few people think it's worthwhile to use them. But we can take advantage of ordinary web users to transfer messages (that is, mix them) from one webserver to another via cookies and http redirect tricks. Senders and receivers should also look like ordinary web users, so anonymity sets are large.
