Roger Dingledine's Tor Description
tor is a connection-oriented anonymizing communication service. Users choose a source-routed path through a set of nodes, and negotiate a "virtual circuit" through the network, in which each node knows its predecessor and successor, but no others. Traffic flowing down the circuit is unwrapped by a Symmetric key at each node, which reveals the downstream node. Basically tor provides a distributed network of servers ("onion routers"). Users bounce their TCP streams -- web traffic, FTP, ssh, etc -- around the routers, and recipients, observers, and even the routers themselves have difficulty tracking the source of the stream.
