garlic routing

Garlic routing is a method used in privacy-focused networks where multiple messages are bundled together, or "clumped" like a bunch of garlic bulbs. This process encrypts each message and sends them through a series of randomly selected nodes, making it difficult to trace who sent or received the information. By mixing multiple messages, garlic routing enhances privacy and security, preventing eavesdroppers from linking communications between users. It's a key technique in anonymous networks, ensuring data stays private while traveling across the network.
