Tor's creation was funded by the US Navy. Presumably, it was made to allow US spies in hostile foreign countries to safely communicate home to the mothership.

- fiatmoney 13y agoActually, the history is more interesting - it was intended to prototype command-and-control communications between ships in a fleet. If all of your nodes are communicating through one central server, presumably that's your flagship and the thing you should blow up. If all nodes look homogeneous, you can't determine via signals intercepts what you should be targeting.
