onion routing
From Anarchopedia
An onion router works by opening a circuit of proxy servers, through which the data sent from the source to the destination can be routed. By creating a series of connections, via several proxies, neither the first nor the last server knows the whole route that the data took, nor even which source is sending to which destination.
