Ohhhh! A colleague points out to me that the term "circuit" is also used in homomorphic encryption. I'm talking about Tor circuits here -- they are a construction using on the Tor network, and don't have anything to do with homomorphic encryption. For more information on them, see https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en and tor-spec.txt _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
