Secure Sessions: Making Tor Faster and More Secure

IronKey maintains a secure, private Tor network with its own, high-perfor-

mance servers (separate from the public Tor network). This improves the

overall security in at least two ways:

Since IronKey controls the “exit-node” in your encrypted Tor

circuit, we can ensure that no one is injecting unwanted or

malicious content into your online communications, such as
advertisements or spyware. You are not assured this level of
security with other publicly-run exit-nodes.

IronKey can also make sure that no exit-node is redirecting

your web traffic by providing addition DNS protections. This
anti-pharming measure can also help mitigate phishing attacks
and other online threats.
