The strengths of Tor (The Onion Router) are as follows:
1) Anonymity: Tor uses multiple layers of encryption and relays data through a distributed network, making it difficult for anyone to trace the origin or destination of internet traffic (Dingledine, Mathewson, & Syverson, 2004).
2) Privacy: Tor helps users maintain their online privacy by preventing websites from collecting information about their browsing habits or IP addresses (Dingledine et al., 2004).
3) Evading Censorship: Tor allows users in restrictive countries to bypass censorship and access blocked websites by routing their traffic through relays located in different parts of the world (Dingledine et al., 2004).
4) Enhanced Security: Tor protects users from various forms of surveillance, including traffic analysis, by encrypting data and routing it through multiple relays, making it difficult to intercept or trace (Dingledine et al., 2004).
