This repository contains the Python implementation of a mix network simulator. Originally, the simulator was build to perform an empirical analysis of the anonymity offered by the Loopix anonymity system https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity17/technical-sessions/presentation/piotrowska and further extended as part of my work at Nym to support more experiments.
The implementation is done using Python 3. My version is 3.7.6 (not sure whether it will run on earlier versions.)
Before running the code remember to make sure that you have all the dependencies installed.
To install the dependencies run
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
(If any of the dependencies should be added in the requirements file please let me know.)
To run the simulator you need the command
python3 playground.py
You can change the parameters of the simulation in file test_config.json
This simulator is a part of an ongoing research work. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected]
