A kind of Onion Routing which allows for anonymous web surfing.

"The original data, including its destination, are encrypted and
re-encrypted multiple times, and sent through a virtual circuit comprising
successive, randomly selected Tor relays. Each relay decrypts a "layer" of
encryption to reveal only the next relay in the circuit in order to pass the
remaining encrypted data on to it. The final relay decrypts the last layer
of encryption and sends the original data, without revealing or even knowing
its sender, to the destination. This method reduces the chance of the
original data being understood in transit and, more notably, conceals the
routing of it."
