	Users Get Routed: Traffic Correlation on Tor by Realistic
	Adversaries

	"Tor is known to be insecure against an adversary that can
	observe a user’s traffic entering and exiting the anonymity
	network." 

	"Our analysis shows that 80% of all types of users may be de-
	anonymized by a relatively moderate Tor-relay adversary within
	six months. Our results also show that against a single AS
	adversary roughly 100% of users in some common locations are
	deanonymized within three months (95% in three months for a
	single IXP). Further, we find that an adversary controlling
	two ASes instead of one reduces the median time to the first
	client de-anonymization by an order of magnitude: from over
	three months to only 1 day for a typ- ical web user; and from
	over three months to roughly one month for a BitTorrent user.
