Nym Opens Beta for NymVPN, ‘The World’s Most Private VPN’
The post Nym Opens Beta for NymVPN, ‘The World’s Most Private VPN’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Nym Technologies, the company behind privacy protocol Nym, is now a step closer to launching NymVPN, which it claims will be the “world’s most private VPN.” Nym touts NymVPN’s anonymous zero-knowledge proof registration feature—which means not even the app will know who’s using it. It’s also introducing extra noise at the network level in an effort to combat AI’s ability to detect patterns and deanonymize traffic. It’s been a long road to reach the beta phase, said CEO Harry Halpin. “We are proud to launch NymVPN for public beta testing at Web3 Summit where we first took Nym out of stealth mode in 2019,” he said in a release. Halpin gave a demo of the NymVPN at the Web3 Summit on Wednesday morning in Berlin. Nym was founded in 2017 and has raised more than $100 million from the likes of Andreessen Horowitz, Digital Currency Group, Polychain Capital, Tayssir Capital, and 1kx. It’s best known for its mixnet, which uses network nodes to shuffle and recombine details linked to packets of data. With NymVPN in its open beta phase, anyone can now register to test it. The VPN offers “genuine unlinkability and privacy that wan withstand AI-driven pattern recognition,” the company said. The antidote to AI, which has supercharged the technical ability to de-anonymize metadata, is noise. Nym says its VPN is the first of its kind to generate extra noise as “cover traffic” to help obscure which users are talking to one another. It’s not unlike how Nym’s mixnet works, which disaggregates pieces of metadata, like a person’s IP address or the recipient of a message, and mixes it with other metadata. The resulting packets of encrypted data combine the IP addresses, time, date, and location of many different people’s metadata. The mixnet is most effective when many node operators…
