Anonymous communications networks were born to protect the privacy of our communications, preventing censorship and traffic analysis. The most famous anonymous communication network is Tor. This anonymous communication network provides some interesting features, among them, we can mention user’s IP location or Tor Hidden Services (THS) as a mechanism to conceal the location of servers, mainly, web servers. THS is an important research field in Tor. However, there is a lack of reviews that sump up main findings and research challenges. In this article we present a systematic literature review that aims to offer a comprehensive view on the research made on Tor Hidden services presenting the state of the art and the different research challenges to be addressed. This review has been developed from a selection of 57 articles and present main findings and advances regarding Tor Hidden Services, limitations found, and future issues to be investigated.

“…The Onion Router (Tor) [1] is currently the broadest low-latency anonymous communication network and is used every day by many people to protect their privacy and overcome censorship [2,3]. The common belief in the Tor project is that "[I]nternet users should private access to an uncensored web" [4].…”

“…The main function that provides Tor to any citizen is, through a set of nodes in the Tor network, to protect his/her anonymity by hiding his/her network IP address [1]. The security and anonymity of Tor have been deeply studied in many works [2,5], and although different types of attacks are possible [3,6], the research community is working toward providing solutions to the different attacks [5,7,8].…”

Anonymous communications networks were created to protect the privacy of communications, preventing censorship and traffic analysis. The most famous anonymous communication network is Tor. This anonymous communication network provides some interesting features. Among them, we can mention that Tor can hide a user’s IP address when accessing to a service such as the Web, and it also supports Tor hidden services (THS) (now named onion services) as a mechanism to conceal the server’s IP address, used mainly to provide anonymity to websites. THS is an important research field in Tor. However, there is a lack of reviews that sum up the main findings and research challenges. In this article, we present a systematic literature review that aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the research made on THS by presenting the state-of-the-art and the different research challenges to be addressed. This review has been developed from a selection of 57 articles and presents main findings and advances regarding Tor hidden services, limitations found, and future issues to be investigated.

“…As we have shown in Reference, Sha et al's scheme is susceptible to desynchronization and known session‐specific temporary information attacks and cannot provide the perfect forward secrecy and anonymity. As mentioned in Reference , anonymous communications are important as they greatly help to keep the privacy of communicating participants. To remedy these challenges, in Reference , we have proposed a security‐enhanced scheme using the enhanced Chebyshev chaotic maps.…”

Devising proper security measures to protect the usage reports of customers against unauthorized accesses is of prime importance. Authenticated key agreement schemes are one of the solutions, which are extensively used to provide secure data reading from the smart meters. Over the past decade, a number of key agreement protocols have been proposed for the smart meters that are covered by the smart grid data communication network. However, there are only two schemes, which have been presented quite recently particularly for the isolated smart meters. Since these schemes rely on the Internet and for each key agreement, the electricity service provider needs to involve, in this paper, we propose a novel anonymous authenticated key agreement scheme that is free from the electricity service provider entanglement. Further, the proposed scheme takes the advantage of substantial reduction in the communication overhead. The security of the presented scheme has been formally validated using the well-known ProVerif tool and random oracle model and its efficiency has been analyzed in comparison to the related ones. The outcome indicates the superiority of the proposed scheme to be employed for the isolated smart meters.
