# Anonymous messaging using mix networks

This is an experimental implementation of an anonymous messaging system based on
Ania Piotrowska's PhD research.

Note that this is not an officially supported DeepMind product.

## Setup

To build and test the code you need:

* Go 1.9 or later

Before running or testing the code run:

```shell
govendor install +local
govendor test +local
```

To perform the unit tests run:

```shell
go test ./...
```

Before first fresh run of the system run:

```shell
bash clean.sh
```

This removes all log files and database

## Usage

To run the network, i.e., mixnodes and providers run

```shell
bash run_network.sh
```

This spins up 3 mixnodes and 1 provider

To simulate the clients run

```shell
bash run_clients.sh
```
