Network Traffic Anonymization in Blockchain Systems Based on Garlic Routing

The problem of protecting blockchain system nodes from threats of user deanonymization, access restrictions, and the imposition of false information about the state of the blockchain is considered. A method for anonymizing traffic between blockchain system nodes based on garlic routing is developed, supporting integration with a consensus mechanism. Experimental studies demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the security of blockchain systems used in large-scale network infrastructures.
