Nymble Blocking System
Nymble is a system that allows websites to selectively blacklist users of anonymizing networks such as Tor without knowing the user's IP-address. Users not on the blacklist enjoy anonymity while blacklisted users are not allowed future connections for a duration of time while their previous connections remain unlinkable. Since Nymble allows websites to blacklist anonymious users of their choice, and since users are notified of their blacklist status, Nymble gives websites the power to define their own definition of "misbehavior"

Nymble Blocking System
In Nymble, users acquire an ordered collection of nymbles, a special type of pseudonym, to connect to Websites. Without additional information, these nymbles are computationally hard to link,4 and hence, using the stream of nymbles simulates anonymous access to services. Web sites, however, can blacklist users by obtaining a seed for a particular nymble, allowing them to link future nymbles from the same userthose used before the complaint remain unlinkable. Servers can therefore blacklist anonymous users without knowledge of their IP addresses while allowing behaving users to connect anonymously.

Resource-Based Blocking
To limit the Sybil attack the Nymble system binds nymbles to resources that are sufficiently difficult to obtain in great numbers.

Nymble is comprehensive credential system. Add a layer of accountability to any publicly known anonymizing network. Servers blacklist misbehaving users maintaining their privacy. Increase the mainstream acceptance of anonymizing network.
