Abstract
Systems and techniques are provided for obscured routing. A computing device may send stacks of identifiers to neighbor computing devices in a network. Each stack of identifiers may include a unique identifier for the neighbor computing device to which it is sent. The computing device may send a notification identifying a destination computing device to the neighbor computing devices. The computing device may receive stacks of identifiers from the neighbor computing devices. The received stacks of identifiers may include completed routes to the destination computing device. Each completed route may be specified by unique identifiers added to the stack of identifiers by computing devices in the network. A unique identifier in each stack of identifiers may not be resolvable to an address by the computing device. The computing device may send a message a neighbor computing device based on a unique identifier in a chosen stack of identifiers.
