Secure Access Protocol

This document outlines the standard operating procedures for securely accessing the TorZon infrastructure. Follow these steps sequentially to ensure end-to-end encryption and identity protection.

Prerequisites

Accessing hidden services requires a specific environment configuration to prevent IP leaks and deanonymization. Do not attempt to access `.onion` resources via standard browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) or through proxies without the Tor network.

01. Environment Configuration Security Layer

Download the official Tor Browser from the Tor Project. Once installed, modify the security settings to minimize attack surface.

  • Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security.
  • Change "Security Level" to Safer or Safest.
  • This action disables non-essential features like WebGL and some JavaScript, which can be used for fingerprinting.

Warning: Do not resize the Tor Browser window manually. Leave it at default size to prevent screen-size fingerprinting.

02. Verified Link Access Network Entry

Phishing is the primary threat vector. Always verify you are on the correct V3 Onion address. The primary signed mirror is listed below:

Upon loading the page, check the footer or security.txt file for the PGP signed message verifying the domain. If the signature does not match the known public key, leave immediately.

03. Identity Management Account Hardening

Credentials

Use a completely random username and a strong, unique password generated by a local password manager (e.g., KeePassXC). Never reuse credentials from other platforms.

The Mnemonic

During registration, you will be shown a Mnemonic Phrase. This is the ONLY way to recover your account if you lose your password.

WRITE DOWN THE MNEMONIC OFF-LINE. DO NOT SAVE IT IN A TEXT FILE.

04. Encryption & 2FA Cryptography

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) via PGP is mandatory for high-security accounts.

  1. Generate a 4096-bit RSA keypair using GPG or Kleopatra.
  2. Navigate to account settings and paste your Public Key.
  3. The system will present an encrypted challenge message.
  4. Decrypt the message using your private key to find the verification code.
  5. Enter the code to bind the key and enable 2FA.
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
hQIMA8/2... (Example Encrypted Challenge)
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
05. Protocol Interaction Transactions

Understanding the escrow system and currency protocols is vital for research purposes.

  • A
    Currency Selection

    Monero (XMR) is the standard for privacy. Unlike Bitcoin, XMR obfuscates sender, receiver, and amount on the blockchain.

  • B
    Escrow State

    Funds are held in a multi-signature escrow wallet. They are only released when the user confirms the digital product or service has been delivered satisfactorily.

  • C
    Finalize Early (FE)

    Never use "Finalize Early" options unless the counterparty has an established, verifiable trust rating spanning multiple years.
